    Fucked up? It’s not a matter of what “should be.” It was reality for decades. When were you born?

    When I was growing up dominos did the “5-5-5” deal. $15+tax for 3 medium 1-topping pizzas. You can feed like 6-10 people with that depending on their age. You’re talking like $2 a person.

    $1 menus included 1-2 sandwich options. Usually a chicken sandwich (obviously fried not grilled).

    Meals with fries and drinks were $4-6 all in.

    This was the 90’s and 2000’s. You could feed a family of 4 with $10 or less without much thought.

      It was possible to feed people for less than $1/serving then. Fast food has always been more expensive than home cooking on a per serving basis.

      No it wasn’t, a frozen pizza was always cheaper than dominos. And I don’t know what kind of little only eat one third of a medium pizza.

      I usually finished one myself. Well okay, I’m a big man, but still.

              An adult would be content on half a medium pizza

              A medium cheese pizza from dominos is 1660 calories. A slice is 210 calories.

              630 calories (3 slices) for a meal seems about right.

              A pan pizza from dominos is 2320 calories. a slice is 290 calories.

              Two slices for the pan pizza seems fine too and with their typical pickup deals is the same price.

              Though their deals usually give you two toppings for free. My favorite is Chicken, Bacon, Ranch sauce on pan. It’s 2,960 a pizza, or 370 per slice. Right now my local dominos offers these for $8 each if you buy two. 6000 calories for $16. Stupid cheap and feeds minimum 6 people who want a thousand calorie meal each.

                I eat 2700 calories a day to maintain my weight. If I ate a 600 calorie meal, I would be considered on a diet since I read 3 meals a day.

              I definitely get the appeal of fast food. It might also depend on what a “Medium” pizza is.

              6 people for 3 medium pizzas doesn’t seem too bad, especially if there’s other snacks or food. But if I had 10 people with 3 medium pizzas, I think I’d have 10 hungry people and 0 pizzas left, haha
