Free PIZZA FOR LIFE.
I work, well it doesn’t matter where I work.
But I was cleaning up something a pizza box to be specific. I caught a glimpse of the upper right corner; and in BLACK BOLD TEXT it said “WIN FREE PIZZA FOR LIFE!”
This perplexed me.
I mean YAH! FUCK YAH PIZZA! Was my initial reaction. Then I dissected it further.
PIZZA for life. For most meals. (DINNER, SUPPER, LUNCH, BRUNCH, AFTERNOON TEA, BREAKFAST, SECOND BREAKFAST…ETC).
Sure my food budget just went way down. Plus I don’t have to plan a menu, like ever. It’s like my diet just became my daily black turtle neck and jeans outfit.
But
If I had something, the same something everyday for the rest of my life, wouldn’t that make it less exquisite? More common and banal?
What this piece of cardboard made me realize is sometimes our desires are short sighted. Additionally you appreciate things you work for, not what is given to you, through some silly contest.
Why is there such a thing called the curse of the lottery?
Because Free Pizza for life. That’s why.
