Non Tech News - Forever Pizza

[MarbleHornets]

Now I know that most of the news is placed in tech news, but sometimes news just has to be shared with the rest of the world.

Forever Pizza is the Han-Solo-in-carbonite of the food world. It's a slice of real pizza permanently cocooned in a see-through acrylic brick. It will never get moldy and it will never know what it's like to be eaten. It's pizza for all eternity. Slices come in either pepperoni or plain cheese and each lucite block measures 4.25 x 2.75 x 1.25". Those are some pretty tiny pizza slices. They also cost $200 apiece. The pizza itself comes from Mantis's family's pizzeria, Pizza By Alex in Maine, which specializes in personal-sized, Greek-style pies. You will notice the pizza slices look extra-done. That's because the acrylic darkens the cheese and toppings as it cures. Mantis experimented with ways to make the slices look more appetizing, but decided to leave them as they were.

I honestly don't know what to say about this except that I'm strangely hungry now, but my duties have been done here and do what you will with this new found information.

Lmao who would even buy this? It's not even like it would look nice sitting on a shelf somewhere. Plus, couldn't you make this yourself for much, MUCH cheaper than what they're selling it for?

Very true, although I bet it would look pretty good somewhere at LMG Headquaters *AHEM ahem* @allthelmgstaff
