Take for example the all American pizza box. If you bring home an entire pizza, the box is ALWAYS too big! It dimensions are oversized - and the pizza seems to "skate" around the box on a useless piece of wax paper. The height of the box is also too big. When was the last time you bought a pizza that was so thick? Then the corragated paper itself is tough. I cut up my boxes in order to fit into the garbage. Its a nuisance. Do we really need such an enormous box to keep the pizza warm? I'm not the Physics major, but it seems reasonable to me that the extra unused space inside the pizza box provides a buffer for the heat to escape! Here's another thing. Suppose your daughter-in-law buys just one or two pieces of pizza. You get the same large,high,heavy box made for a whole pizza. My hope is that the world will convert to more sensible sizing of pizza boxes and/or an insulated, reusable carry case. Anyone out there agree with me?
