how come tmnt like pizza
 

how come the creators made it pizza? i mean its cool and all im lover of pizza myself but why is the question i ask, they could have made it like pie... lol can you imagin that the boys fav food pie well any hoo.

I'm thinking it has to do with accessibility. There are plenty of pizza joints in the City; the Turtles would never go hungry. Pie on the other hand... well I don't know how many pies get thrown away, and I'd imagine if the Turtles came across one, it wouldn't be fit to eat (being smashed or mushy, etc).

Also... eating pie all the time might've resulted in some seriously diabetic turtles...:ohwell:

Maybe some subconscious association between their Italian names and a food from Italy.

or it could just be that they're teenagers and they can order it without having to go out or make it themselves.

Good they didn't choose spaghetti as their brand food, then.

Actually, they did sometimes make it themselves (hence, all their "unique" recipes) and they also went out; them being teenagers is simply enough reason.

Was pizza in the original eastman and laird comic? Because my opinion is because it was aimed at children and as a child, I LOVED pizza! Pizza and ice cream are hot with youngsters. Pizza adds to the appeal of the boys.

eating all the pizza should have made him turtles with high blood pressure and obsese. They probably ate a salt block's worth of pizza in a year!

Mine sounds smarter.

In the Mirage story, they didn't eat pizza as a rule. In different stories they ate Chinese food, beef stew, sub sandwiches, pita pocket bread filled with tabouleh, sweet and sour turkey with plenty of veggies... (well, they were planning on eating it but then the Foot broke into their apartment and caught the place on fire)

Don't forget sushi! They're Japanese in ancestry; the must eat sushi. :roll:

They are? jee I thought they were Chrysemys Scripta Elegans....Not Maremys Japonica:lol::P:D


sorry couldn't resist....bad me bad me

Just out of curiosity, Buslady, how do you know they're Red Ear Sliders? I've never really seen stripes or red ears on the boys ...

And I meant they were of Japanese ancestry by adoption. ;)

Donnie said he was a red ear slider in one of the Tales issues... :D Really now they're their own species. Chrysemys Scripta Ninjemys hehehe or something silly like that. (Ninjemys is a real name put onto a prehistory horned turtle ancester...they really did name it after TMNT)
Aaannnddd going by the often repeated "Typical Pet Store Turtles" which is the red ear slider, they are.

They get a lot of exercise. Fighting bad guys really melts off the pounds.

Don mentions it on page 91 of the Tales of the TMNT Collected Books, Vol. 1.

"I was a red slider once, too... but that was a very long time ago." -- Don.

Haha, Buslady you're right about the blood pressure thing...

And hey, when did they get their hands on tabouleh pita pockets, Aig?

hmmm i just realised....them being Scripta they're related toooo MAP TURTLES! ^.^

Okay I will shut up now ..... off to work BYE BYE

Online shopping adressed to 1-22 and an 8th.

Woah, I've been told. ;)

Cool that they named a turtle species after our boys, too!

"Where the heck's 1-22 and an 8th?!"
