DiGiorno's Pizza And Cookies Combo Is Watershed Moment In American Obesity - The Consumerist
"DiGiorno is rolling out a new combo box that includes both frozen pizza and a batch of Toll House chocolate chip cookie dough. While you heat up your pizza, why not also make a side of cookies? The only thing this is missing is a side of lard dipping sauce. Yes, you would dip both products in it." - James Ferguson from Bookmarklet
Yet, it will likely sell. - Derrick
I don't get how this is so bad. Nobody is forcing you to eat the whole pizza and all the cookies in one sitting. The lard dipping sauce is a pointless joke. Gonna heat up the oven, use it for both. - m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
I will try to mix the two. - James Ferguson
I'm with m9m, this looks highly convenient to me. - Jandy
i think i just gained 15 pounds by reading this thread. - Hieronymous Boosh
m9m, So a meal which consists solely of carbohydrates/sugar and fat is good? Problem is most people WILL eat the whole thing. - Jeff P. Henderson
Everybody has a pizza night sometimes. And you can add a salad. And you can eat the cookies another day. Just sayin. - m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
I don't see the big deal either. it's like Papa Murphy's that has the cookie dough for sale right there at the register (for those of you who have Papa Murphy's). - holly #ravingfangirl
I don't see the big deal. Most people eat much worse for a super bowl party or pizza night. It's not encouraging people to eat it every meal. - Trish R
There's serving sizes printed on the packaging for a reason, folks. - Akiva

Akiva, who eats only one serving of pizza or cookies? - Jeff P. Henderson
Perfect case of "This is Why You're Fat", but not because it combines cookies and pizza, but because it plays to the very real notion that there are people who, after making it to the frozen food aisle to get their frozen pizza, can't be bothered to walk the extra 30 feet to the other aisle and buy a box of cookies. "It's so convenient!" - Mark Trapp
Jeff, I do. I pay strict attention to serving sizes. I've lost over 20 pounds because of it. When snacking, I try to stick to around 100 calories regardless of serving size. So, for example, when I eat some Reese's Minis, I eat half the serving size. - Akiva

Akiva, you are probably in the minority. And congrats on weight loss! I don't think the general population is as adept at counting calories or eating one serving of food. I think that is obvious by the rapid increase in the obesity rate in the US. I have found as I get older it is way harder to lose weight than it use to be. I've lost 8 lbs since 1-1-11 with a goal to lose 22 more. Stopped eating all junk food and in between meal snacks, except one or two small ~100 calorie snacks like nuts or cheese. I'm eating smaller portions and cut out about 75% of the carbohydrates I was eating previously. - Jeff P. Henderson
I like both these things. Now if they had made a pepperoni pizza on a chocolate chip cookie... - Jason Toney
I bought this tonight, except it came with a thing of frozen cinnamon sticks with frosting. I felt GUILTY and also HUNGRY. - Rochelle
