Truth in Advertising?

So much to process here ...


What is "original" about a frozen pizza? And surely there were thin pizzas before this one?

Maybe its the "Artificial Preservative Free Crust"? Although surely there were preservative free crusts before this? So that's not the original bit. Maybe the crust is free, and you just pay for the preservatives? That would be original ...

[Update: Maybe I was reading it wrong, perhaps, "Artificial" is modifying "Crust", and not "Preservative". An "Artificial Crust" would be original. And explain the cardboardish flavor notes ...]

Good to know it's "made with real cheese". I'm sure this is not the original bit. And is 'not real cheese' a real thing?  Now if it was made with the 'not real cheese' ...

Usually, pepperoni is made with pork and beef. However, if poultry meat is included US law says that needs to be noted on the package. And if there is a law about it then it sure isn't original.

It has never occurred to me to grill a pizza, nor do they provide grilling instructions. I did not grill this one. The provided instructions were helpful. For instance, it is important to remove the plastic before cooking. Surely you knew this? And is seems pizza grilling is a thing (and thus not original).

And sadly, it wasn't the lack of taste that was original either. Pretty much a sure thing with keep no-name frozen pizza.

So what is the original bit?
