    It might be designed that way to make the nutritional facts more appealing. They can define the portion sizes arbitrarily, so the per-portion amounts don’t look so high.

      I dunno about y’all, but I cut my pizza’s into 1/8ths, which would be smaller than 1/5.

        I’d be willing to bet that this particular pizza is very small, so most people would cut it into 1/4ths.

          I always cut my frozen pizzas into eighths. I eat the whole thing in one sitting either way, but I prefer smaller slices.

      The FDA is in charge of portion sizes. No one decides it on their own.

      What a company can do is fiddle with the total number of portions. Which is how you get 5 portions in this pizza.

    Interetingly, I’ve concluded that cutting a pizza to 4 pieces makes the rim support the tip properly, regardless of the size of the pizza, while cutting the pizza to 8 pieces makes the tip of the piece always flop. However, one quadrant of the pizza is harder to eat, because it widens so radicaly. This has made me a believer of cutting the pizza to 6 pieces, as this solves both issues.

    I woudn’t be surprised if some maths genius would’ve calculated that the 5 pieces would be the most optimal for both issues, the tip support, and the edibility. However, cutting to 5 equal pieces is rather bothersom, so I’ll be sticking with 6 pieces personally, regardless of what pizza enginers may have calculated.

    Likely an attempt to claim there’s fewer calories per slice, even though people will just cut it in quarters instead of fifths.

      It’s like that time I only had two drinks – a bottle of wine and a bottle of vodka. (oh my god I died for the next two days don’t do what I did)

      Can’t get mad at me for having only two drinks!

      Same person also did the installation instructions for Glacier Bay medicine cabinets. 3/5 and 2/9 were measurements I recently had the joy of running into.

      I can say with 105.6% accuracy that I did not install the framing to the exact dimensions as specified. If Glacier Bay has a problem they can make tape measures with 1/5 and 1/9.

        Could that have been a metric conversion issue? Convenient measurements in one system of units are not necessarily convenient in another
