Not to worry for you see, the ‘single slice of pizza’ you mention is actually a Mega Slice, which is probably at least 3 times bigger than a regular slice.

I can see the angle and that’s only like 2 times the size of a normal slice and it also looks pretty short compared to the cup and I know american cups are huge but that’s in height not width so comparing it to that that slice looks maybe slightly above average to me nowhere near $4 worth also I just noticed it’s only a medium fizz so it can probably be compared to a large here yeah that pizzas nowhere near as big as you say

Most all American cups are small enough at the bottom to fit in near universally sized drink holders in a car. The bigger ones get bigger on top. My guess is that’s about 28 to 32 oz medium. About the size cup to wander around a job site with till ya all hit the Chinese buffet at lunch…😝

How do you buy it as syrup?

Restaurant supply stores, online, etc. They’re called “BiBs” or “Bags in Boxes”. Usually $80-100 each. Obviously meant for restaurant use, I don’t recommend buying it yourself you couldn’t make that much soda before it goes bad. But one of those bad boys will make ~120 liters of soda.

SodaStream has begun selling Pepsi syrups for home use. If they weren’t an Israeli company I’d buy them.

I actually don’t know maybe look in a wholesalers if you have one of those near you that lets you shop without having a business reason you can also buy it in regular shops sometimes but then you’ll only find brands like sodastream not actual coca cola and fanta and that though

Soda and pizza for breakfast, interesting

Breakfast pizza is much more like a quiche than traditional pizza. It’s just easier to eat without silverware. I personally wouldn’t want soda with it, but considering how many people get a large soda in the morning and sip on it all day, getting breakfast and your day’s soda in a combo, appeals to my Midwestern frugality.

I am European and this sentence broke something in my soul.

When I got my first job as an American teen, I remember being surprised by it as well. Everyone at the pharmacy I worked at did that, and some topped-up their soda by pouring in a can from the vending machine in the early afternoon. Not that I wasn’t used to American soda drinking, but realizing how much of a habit it was for so many of my coworkers, was my first realization that nobody in the workforce was happy, and they were all just self-medicating with sugar and pre-diabetes.

My dear friend.

Please allow me to expose to you some horrors I have witnessed first hand, so that you may go into the world fully aware of the dread it holds and hides.

For there are things that should not be out there.

Like people that sleep - yes, sleep - with a bottle of Coca Cola by their bedstand and wake up during the night to drink from it. And that see as a proper waking ritual to unscrew the cap of the same bottle - or perhaps a fresh one - take a long swig from it, light a cigarette and smoke it as they put on their bedroom slippers.

There’s a trick to breakfast pizza. I LOVE to make my own. Start the dough the night before. Fry the bacon the night before, save the grease in the pan. In the morning, cook some sausage and scramble the eggs. I like peppers and onions too, maybe tomatoes. I use white sauce, but it’s a choice. I don’t know how I’m not fat, but I LOVE fat women, so if any read this and want a good man, hmu 💙

It’s a Midwesterner thing, you wouldn’t understand.

Though, I’m sure there are some midwesterners who don’t like breakfast pizza, I personally like it though and so do most people I know.
