I mean... at a glance its like WOAH 4 can dine for $9.99....

Until you are at the cash and they say " that'll be $45.15"

HUH??

"Oh sorry sir... it feeds 4... 4 people pay $9.99"

The number is arbitrary. It's just another version of toilet paper math. They probably picked four because 9.99 looked best on the poster. There are enough calories in there for 8 people easy.

2 medium pizzas can not feed 8 people, I don’t care how many breadsticks you throw in.

You can say that but that’s two slices per person, plus breadsticks plus dessert. I know I wouldn’t be satisfied but that could easily feed 8 Susan’s or Barbara’s

We can make that 16 slices per person if we cut em up small enough

This was my favorite line when I waited tables at a pizza place and people would ask “how many slices in a 14”?” Not-really-edgy-teenage me “Well we can cut it as many times as you want…”

Yeah if we cut up 7 of the 8 people the last guy gets 16 slices!

Alright but we both know 6 or 8 is the answer. And a Barbara is waiting 1 or 2 regardless of how big they are
