/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I don't know why but this one actually freaks me out. It's the economic equivalent of going into a kindergarten and jerking off on the American flag while the kids say the pledge of allegiance...
I'm probably just exaggerating though, do kids even say the pledge anymore? That was the dumbest shit

>>17222034
>11% increase
>33% more pepperonis
these hacksters, these frauds, these penny pinching goblins. They think they can get past my wits? Their schemes penetrate my mental fortitude? Blasphemous, I will not be deceived, I've done the math. This is preposterous, I'm not sure what, but something is incredibly wrong here. Something.....

>>17222034
>extra charge will allow the Hot and Ready to have 33% more pepperoni
Fucking bullshit, no it won't

>>17222034
You can hardly even call the Hot n Ready food. That pic is also really misleading too, because a Hot n Ready hasn’t had that much pepperoni on it in years.

I ate more than my fair share of these in college, and I watched it progress from a solid deal to a dough disk with a pittance of pepperoni and cheese

>>17222034
Why are you eating this fucking garbage in the first place? I'd rather eat a fucking $5 sandwhich at the gas station than that trash

>>17222050
Someone should go out and buy one right now and shove it in their freezer. When the new price starts buy another one and do a pepperoni count.

>>17222049
Their pizza has been sparse on pepperoni since about 2018. So we get SOME of what they took away back, in exchange for a price increase. In the end, we still have less than what we started with, but to most dummies it looks like we got a net gain

>>17222046
Of all the stupid price changes recently, this one really is worrisome. They have held this price since the 90s. They held this price through the 2008 crash. Literally nothing holds a steady price that long, but ol reliable Little Cesars found a way. But now here we are, where even they can’t keep it going for $5. A true end of an economic era

>>17222061
Won’t work
>buy pizza now

>>17222034
>Now you are telling me I have to scrounge up two quarters EVERY time
it’s two quarters AND a nickel
faggot

>>17222034
It's never been $5 even here, always had sales tax

>>17222060
If you are a poorfag college kid it is a godsend. It’s slop I won’t argue that, but it’s also 2-3 no effort meals for $5 and some change.

>>17222046
>>17222083
This is easily the most worrisome price change

>>17222034
Their pizza always reminded me of the kind you got in middle school. It was pizza, but every bite is a bland and mediocre experience

>>17222122
This one is easy to understand though. There are less garbage Chinese nicknacks for them to fill their shelves with. We really are no worse off

>>17222115
>If you are a poorfag college kid it is a godsend
Yeah, back in 2012 maybe. Their pizza these days are cheap trash that you give to the local hobo out of pity. I can't even imagine eating that without being drunk or high off my ass.

>>17222034
Keep your peasant slop, me I’ll take my Costco card and pick up a $1.99 jumbo slice. If I want more for later, I’ll grab an 18 inch for $9.99.

Maybe while I’m there I’ll even pick up a super size pack of toilet paper. Feels good to be a CostcoCHAD

Inflation doesn't exist. This is just greedy Big Meat cranking up prices.

The negro feeds her entire family with this deal. How will they survive?

>>17222034
How much does extra pepperonis cost?
Is it the same?
>>17222122
>Dollar Tree has been open since 1986
>1.00 1986USD = 2.54 2021USD
This reminds me of the old dime stores that had to adapt.

>>17222099
measure pepperoni slice thickness and weigh them too

>>17222151
Why do you think the Democratic government is artificially inflating the USD? They've spun the narrative that black lives matter and crack and aids didn't kill them off. It's their last option

>end of the Hot Carl
How will the US survive this loss?

>>17222034
In America you can get a large pepperoni pizza for $5.55. We call this a "Hot Carl" here in CaliWali (California for you outsiders). The best thing too is that you dont even have to wait you just walk in and its always hot and ready to go at the counter.

>>17222218
pineapple pizza = best pizza

>that post

>>17222222
I guess that confirms it

the line before the price increase goes into effect

the pepperoni hot and ready at the little caesars where I live have cost $7.99 for a few years at least now.

>>17222222

>>17222034
The normal Hot-N-Ready is a garbage pizza anyways. More pepperoni would help, but it's really the abysmal sauce and crust that bring it down. Little Caesars is only good for their Detroit Deep Dish, which is honestly pretty ok for the price

>>17222304
>Little Caesars is only good for their Detroit Deep Dish, which is honestly pretty ok for the price
this. the $5 lunch combo is great

>>17222034
Greedy owners are not food or cooking.

>>17222304
Everybody misses the point including Little Caesars. It wasn't the pizza as much as it was the price and speed. It was like the last real fast food left in the USA where it was as simple "I want this and it cost this much and it's ready now" available. They should just make it a 5 dollar cheese pizza so it's still 5 dollars and just ready to go. They miss the whole fucking point. Just give a 5 dollar cheap as fuck pizza I don't have to wait on.

>>17222222
Fucking waste

little caesars is tasteless. the only benefit of the place is that they are the fastest

This stuff makes my butthole spew pure liquid shit

Just cut out the $5 already, even the spics aren't falling for it.

what's causing this shit
genuinely
why was it fine for the last 4 years, but now suddenly when things are getting "better" is all the fucking price hiking starting? I'm paying so fucking much more for gas.
give me muh mean tweets and low gas prices.

It started months ago.

But we got rid of that guy with the mean tweets

>>17223314
>what's causing this shit
>genuinely
Two things:
1. Artificially suppressing entire economies in the name of fear over a nothingburger virus that only kills old people.
2. Nearly doubling the starting wages of minimum wage workers throughout the United States.
Combine these together and you have a recipe for absolute economic disaster. Not only are we experiencing shortages, but we're paying everyone more money so the cost of the goods those workers make has to go up to compensate.

i get the extra most bestest anyway. although i sound like a retard ordering it. with spice paks and buffalo ranch of cours

>>17223860
No, it's specifically inflation that is being extremely exacerbated by externally-enforced factors intended to ruin the economy and increase reliance on the government.

I made all three of these posts and forgot to mention that I'm gay, btw. Not sure if that matters.

>>17222034
it's been $5.50 at every little caesars near me for the better part of the last decade

I bake my own pizzas for less than 5 bucks. That said, Bidenflation is 100% to blame for prices going up.

>>17223932
I want the pizza to be both hot and ready. Making your own pizza means it is both cold and not ready

>>17223407
Will you grow up and never say ‘nothing burger’ again you absolute child? What’s the point of it, just adding a food to the end of a word? You want to cast some votepizzas too? Maybe covid is actually a somethingbacon haha ever thought about that?

>>17224032
>NOOOO LANGUAGE CAN'T CHANGE OVER TIME AAAAHHHHH I'M GOING INSANE NIGGERMAN STOP HAVING NEW PHRASES AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>17222034
I listened to the memes and bought a meat lover's pizza from them for ~$13, figuring it must be good if their $5 pizzas get such appraisal. The crust was so thin it kept flopping down and spiling the cheese, sauce, and toppings off, even when I tried to crease it down the middle. There was 12 fry-sized pieces of ham on the pizza, 14 small sausage pieces, and 19 paper thin pepperonis.

Fucking goyslop. It was probably also franchised by cheap pajeets or chinks which made it even worse as a whole.

>>17224060
There is nothing wrong with goyslop. Really, it’s something you should be thankful for

>>17224060
Here's a tip: The $5 pizzas only get praise BECAUSE they're $5. Like how people say McDonald's is "good if you buy from the dollar menu." It's about the value, not the quality. Little Caesar's is ultimately a shit pizza that's barely worth $5, but because it's the cheapest non-frozen pizza you can get people praise it for its convenience and value. Paying more than $5 for a Little Caesar's pizza is completely missing the point and you deserve what you get.

5uild 5ack 5etter

>>17222222
Checked but wrong

why doesn't lil ceasars just sell slices? eating an entire hot n ready pizza for lunch is far too much food.

>>17222070
Have you adjusted this calculation for inflation? 30 years is a long time.

>internet access for ALL

>BUT NO THAT MAKES MY HECKIN PIZZA COST A COUPLE CENTS MORE WHO CARES HOW MANY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE BENEFITING MUH 55 CENTERINOS

>>17224141
No shit. If it was actually following inflation properly, this price increase would have happened decades ago

>>17222257

By the time you get out of that line you could have just baked a pizza in your oven.

I’m fine with language changing, I just don’t know why you and some others are so proud to for no reason say ‘burger’ in what appears to be only political contexts where it doesn’t apply. Are you really so stupid you think this is just someone being against language change? Are you really that much of a stupidfries? Did I spill your happyshake? Did I interrupt your little McPolitical Statement with cheese?

So most of you are joking right? This is a harmless price change

>>17222222
Not like this..

>>17224188
All of those things do impact your life by upping the quality of someone else’s which lowers crime

Worst major pizza chain.

What do I tell the people at little Caesars to get that pizza? If that was normal little Caesars I would pay $6

>>17222222
Correct

>>17222222

>>17224227
Nothingburger is a phrase that's been used in political discourse, especially on the internet, for a very long time now.

>>17224304
Lowering crime in places I don't live doesn't directly impact my life. Not everyone lives in a shithole city where crime is around every corner, some of us live in nice places with low crime to begin with.

>Everyone bashed me for liking Little Caesar
>Can get a whole pizza for $5
>It always tasted good to me
>"Lol but it's $5 and low quality cardboard trash."

It tasted fucking good to me and like pizza, so fuck off. I would tell them to go get their fucking $12-$15 pizza from Domino's or greasy ass shit from Papa Johns, like they're superior for spending 2x-3x the money on a pizza and thinking it's better quality. I can get a whole pizza for $5 and you're gonna drop like $12 for your pizza, so who's the retard?

>>17224485
>I LIKE my goyslop tho

>can't afford a 55 cent price increase
Maybe you should try getting a job.

>>17224491
I might do a side by side comparison of like Pizza Hut and Little Caesars, but I highly doubt the more expensive option is higher quality or taste any better. I've never had bad pizza from Little Caesars, it always tasted good.

>>17222222
based and truthpilled

>>17224485
theyre retards for buying dominos but youre not much better for buying little caesars. theyre all shit. eat something better

>>17222347
Do you not know how to cook any food for yourself at home. God what a fucking children you all ares

>>17224819
I work a 12 hour shift 5 days a week, I don’t have time to cook.

Worth it for $21 and hour though

>>17224843
This is America. Works 60 hours and can only afford a $5 pizza. Thanks Biden.

>>17222122
The one in my town has prices up to $3

>>17222257
i've NEVER seen that before. not even at the dmv or unemployment office.

>>17222034
What states still had it at $5? Most of the states I've been to have had them for $6. Detroit styles were either $9 or $10.

>>17223314
last 2 years we printed our debt all over again and then some, all the media about things being better is outright lying

Can the population of Caliwali even survive without the Hot Carl?

That shit is already like $10 here. Dunno why people still buy that shit when you can get pizza that's actually good for nearly the same price

>>17224867
It was mostly Orange Faggot more than Old Man Byedon.

Holy based. Nice digits, pineapple bro

>>17225684
Yeah a basic hot & ready is $8 here but Dominos is still holding down the $6 menu and $8 large 3-topping carryout specials.

>>17225684
There's no comparable to Little Caesars. Pizza is one thing, LC is entirely different (and better).

>>17223485
>current year + 7
>people still don't know about extra most bestest
What the fuck is wrong with LC marketing. $1 more for a product that isn't shit yet no one knows about it.

>>17223923
LMFAO

>>17226889
They probably don’t want people to know. As you say, it is a vastly superior product

>>17222049
it has 18 pepperonis normally so I guess we get an extra 6 pepperonis for $0.55. Cheese is the most expensive part.

>>17224819

But I saved 55 cents by waiting in line for an hour. Sure, I could have made much more working...but I saved 55 cents!

If they were smart they would price their stuff so that after tax it came out to exactly $5. they could have one that came out to exactly $10 too, for families

They should have just reduced the sizes and kept the price.

Subway got rid of the $5 Footlong back in 2012...then they tried to bring it back but still couldn't because it's such a low price. The fact that Little Caesars was selling a large pizza for $5 was top tier, even at 5.55 it's more than worth it

>>17222222
checked, based, and absolutely correct

>>17227647
You are the problem, bootlicker.

>>17227692

No.

>>17222034
I wish companies increased prices with inflation instead of sneakily switching to worse ingredients, smaller portions etc.

>>17222115
Is 5$ cheap for us standards? You can get 2 frozen pizza or frozen meals here for that price and likely have more protein. And the food is very expensive here

>>17227826
$5 for a meal that can feed more than one person is definitely cheap by US standards. Yes, you can get frozen pizzas for $2.50-3.50 but those are the cheapest lowest quality frozen pizzas mostly Tombstone and Jacks

>>17227826
For a hot meal prepared in a restaurant that you can share with up to 3 other people? Yeah, that's cheap as shit. A McDonald's combo for 1 person costs almost as much.

>>17222034
The $5 pizzas was just a promotion, just like Subway's $5 footlong, which doesn't exist anymore. You can get a decent frozen pizza for $5, the only difference is you'd have to cook it yourself.

>>17228057
>just a promotion that lasted nearly 25 years
Yeah, okay, sure.
>You can get a decent frozen pizza for $5, the only difference is you'd have to cook it yourself.
