It’s a nice lazy Sunday here, started with lots of rain, thunder and lightning – just the way I like it.  So it sounded like a good time to heat up some easy frozen pizzas for lunch.  We have a couple of yummy Fruchetta pizzas that would be yummy.  We picked a 6 cheese and a Hawaiian, and popped the cheese in the oven to get started.

As Craig pulled the Hawaiian out of the package to get it onto a stone, he noticed it didn’t look quite right – see if you can tell what might be wrong with these pictures:

 

WTH??  Did someone at the pizza factory actually take a bite out of our pie?  All I could think was that it had to be just some kind of funny looking malformation that simply resembled a bite mark, but the longer I looked at it the more it looks like there are grooves where the teeth would have been.  I honestly can’t decide if someone took a bite out of that pizza or not.  We spent a good number of minutes just staring at it….dumbfounded by what we were seeing.

I could understand if I opened a Snickers and found a bite was missing, or some tasty cookies of some kind (really, there’s no need to specify which – they’d ALL be valid choices), or even a granola bar.  But nothing about taking a big bite out of frozen pizza dough could have tasted even remotely appetizing.  Who does that?!

Is it possible this is how Fruchetta is doing QA now?  Instead of checking their ingredients on an individual basis, they just pick a finished product and start munching on the side.  And of course you’d want to leave it like that to ship to the customer.  That way customers KNOW their pizza was specifically tested for (and one would hope passed) their high standards of excellence the company strives for.

Maybe, you know….current economy and such…the company has had to cut back on their benefits.  No more free product or employee discounts.  This might be how their employees are reclaiming their benefits package – one bite at a time.  “No more free dental? Well I’ll get my compensation one way or another!” chomp

Clearly the people at Fruchetta need to find some new ways of engaging their employees, because this is a whole new kind of boredom.
