Would you like a 99 cheese pizza?

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Bet it was soggy as heck in the middle. Also, only way that could even remotely work is if you had premixed the cheeses (and could be sure of getting all 99 on the pizza in such case, or it's pointless), or just put a few shreds of each over the entire thing, but in either case, why even bother? you're not going to TASTE all 99!

This is speaking form experience dealing with people who request an insane amount of toppings on their pies, folks.....





Indeed. Food cost alone would make it impractical and ridiculously expensive. I've had to do inventory on ingredients and make truck orders in a pizza place, and they have limited budget and space for that stuff, so it would require far more space and money than they can use for that.





That's only because Pizza Hut paid to advertise in the movie. They don't actually HAVE a 99 cheese pizza..... Also, given how some cheeses taste, I wouldn't try it. Some cheeses do NOT belong on a pizza!





Bay's an idiot anyway, and so were the writers of that scene. Having worked at a pizza place, I know that the more ingredients you add, the longer you have to cook it to avoid having a doughy middle- which would make the end result of THAT particular pizza inedible. Trust me, I've had to deal with people to try things like this- even having just as few as ten ingredients make the thing a doughy mess that usually ends up getting sent back....

lol But of course, I know Pizza Hut doesn't REALLY have that. xD I wish they did or some kind of pizza place had it though. Yeah, they did do it to advertise. I think product placement is so cheap and annoying. I mean, that's why we have commercials. Put them in commercials, not in movies! It should have been in some generic pizza box instead. They did it with Orange Crush soda, saying Mikey has a stash of it in the fridge. Ugh product placement...

Well it does serve a purpose, mainly in making the movie's budget. Companies pay the movie production co. to have their products used in the movie, like how they pay for ad time during tv.

It does, but it's still a cheap move to play. xD That and it doesn't make much sense as Splinter says it's a masterpiece and he implies that the idea that was once thought to be impossible is now real, even though it's in a Pizza Hut pizza box, which means it isn't legendary if Pizza Hut is making it and they can just order it! Or he did make the pizza and just used an empty Pizza Hut box to put it in.

Or he was lying the whole time and said that to get Mikey's attention which I think is most likely true. xD

There's more to pizza than cheese...but yeah I'd try it.

Me too.


I suppose Pizza Hut could cut corners and make one that "tastes like" 99 cheeses, aka cheese of some kind but entirely unable to be identified. lol

As delicious as pizza is, there are some types of cheese that would just ruin it imo, and who needs that.

But I love cheese. lol :3

There's over 900 types of cheese so I think I could find at least 99 that taste good.

Product placement is always going to happen in movies. In the original movie, they had their pizza delivered by a Domino's pizza guy even though Pizza Hut was doing the promotion.

[IndigoErth]

Just wish they'd be a touch more subtle about it. Let it be there because it's things commonly known to consumers/users, lightly worked in so it might add to the relatability of beloved characters who then seem to like/use it too, rather than purposely making it super obvious we're being shown/told about it because sponsorship.

Like, I dunno, get these guys their version of [what we currently know as] the T-Phone; have Donnie refurbish some smart phones, mention the phone brand in passing in a natural context, there we go.

But I digress, this is about the pizza. If Pizza Hut has their name in there again this time, maybe making the 99 cheese pizza available is unrealistic, but I at least hope for a collectable cup or something from them this time and they could find a way to play up the 99 cheese pizza thing with that somehow (even if it's just something fun printed on it) if it was to be mentioned again (though I have my doubts).

Or they could offer a few more unusual cheeses available, if not the full 99.

I'm lactose intolerant, and just a three cheese pizza ****s me up. So a 99 cheese pizza would probably kill me.

I don't know, it said in the article that customers want it back on the menu implying that it tasted decent.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Speaking as some one who spent several years making pizza for a living, I'd stiil have to see it before I'd believe anything in the article. Overloading a pizza just doesnt turn out well.

[shuriken]

As long as it not Pizza hut I'd try it.

Generic pizza pox hmmm. Like this?image.jpg

I wouldn't recommend eating too much of a 99 cheese pizza, not if you ever want to poop again. Or for the lactose intolerant; ever want to stop pooping.

Unfortunately for all businesses, we're blocking ads on our computers, skipping them on television, not buying magazines or papers, signing up for do-not-call registries and spam blockers... We've already deemed every other form of advertising to be offensive. Inserting the promotions directly into our content is probably the last thing they can think of. We're not really leaving them any choice.
