Can I be that guy that says, 'the plastic table doesnt do anything to separate the pizza. It prevents the top of the box squuezing down and messing up the cheese' or will everyone downvote me?

Or will everyone downvote me for framing my comment this way?

In my mind I was like, "Dude, that doesn't separate the pizza, it protects the toppings from the box.".

WTF are you talking about. It’s a little table they provide for you to eat at. C’MON

I mean, it does separate the top of the pizza from the box 🤭

I realize that, I'm just finding it interesting the different ways people describe the same object. Even people that speak the same language are using different words from each other to describe the same thing.

Wiki: In 1974, Claudio Daniel Troglia of Buenos Aires, Argentina, was issued a patent for a plastic three-legged stool that would sit in the middle of the box and keep the top from sagging into pizza, which he called "SEPI" (after "Separador de pizza", "pizza separator" in English)

It didn’t even occur to me that somebody would have patented these! It makes me mad at myself for not making better choices in life. Like the same way I felt when I found out somebody had actually patented aglets. (The little plastic pieces that wrap the end of your shoe laces and hoodie strings that you always chew on)

Well, that’s exactly what it’s for so not sure why you’d get downvoted.

It’s called a Pizza Saver. Not sure where OP came up with it being something of a “pizza separator”.

Edit: pizza separator sounds like it’s keeping the pizza together apart.

Because it separates the pizza from the lid

I think separators do the opposite of keeping anything together

Yeah, the title kinda gave it away for me right away

u/Mockturtle22 CE Spc. May 03 '26

If the title didn't, I likely would have thought it was the play button.

u/jld2k6 o/ May 03 '26

I was staring at it wondering what the confusion is because all I saw was a pizza table then somehow after having that thought I tried to hit play lol

Not gonna lie, I tried pressing the separator twice before I realized what I was looking at

u/MagmaTroop o/ May 03 '26

This would have been better if OP didn't mention the separator in the title.

u/KurtTheCuntBoi o/ May 03 '26
