More marketing sheenanigans

[Gandahar]

First person to tell me what is wrong with this pizza box cover compared to the real thing gets the FDR tinfoil hat/baking tray award of the year.




For once the actual product looks better than the box cover, so it is not that. And for £2 it was epic. See photo below, fits just on the normal dinner plate. The spread was off, more peppers on the bottom half and cheese, but as all mechanical I can forgive them that, still great taste after some beers



So what is wrong on the box cover, where the marketing people just jumped the shark?

It says take away and it's not from a take away?

the mention of takeaway is that it's trying to replace the typical takeaway style base that you'd get from ordering a takeaway pizza.

'hi there, i have this pizza that sorta tastes like a takeway-style pizza from your local non-franchised takeaway pizza.. and it's only £2! no need to spend £10 at your local for one, try this"'

[Master Bean]

It comes out of the box cold and uncooked unlike a takeaway pizza that is hot from the box.

The pizza doesn't look very frozen.

I'm not really a fan of gimmick flavour pizzas but that does look pretty nice. We should totally have a thread devoted to supermarket chilled/fresh/frozen pizzas. ASDA used to do a 'meat specialie' stonebaked which was my favourite, but have since stopped it, gutted..

They’ve cut it into six pieces, but you weren’t that hungry so only cut it into four.

Difficult to see in the photo but does the nutritional traffic light information base it on 5/2 of a pizza? You should have bought another!

Classic vs thicker crust contradiction.

What do I win? Pizza?

[Oakey]

The stringy cheese in the photo? The cooked product doesn't have stringy cheese?

[Gary29]

'Thicker' crust? Thicker than what?

That's all I can add. What is your beef? (Pun intended)

[Arun_D]

You can't activate the slice levitation function in the real thing?

[Johnnytheboy]

Wonder if the op will tell us?

[Oakey]

Maybe he choked on it?

[coffeebreath]

It says Chilli Beef instead of Chilli Horse.

[Bonefish Blues]

I expect it came from a factory owned by the company I'm currently working for. The production stats are simply boggling (of pizzas and much else)

[PositronicRay]

The box is bigger than the pizza.

(Morrison's pizzas are pretty good value too but I always add some extra peppers and mushrooms)

Give some stats, what's the "gate" price of a pizza?

[Bonefish Blues]

Absolutely no idea I'm afraid. I'm contracting and besides, that's the sort of info that not many internals would know, for obvious reasons. What shocked me was a factory producing well into 7 figures of pizzas, various, in a week.
