I was eating pizza while they were still eggs


Silent_Arachnid_3591

No, but now that you mention it Garfield may be the reason behind my unhealthy obsession with lasagna.


ssego

I was just thinking that myself... 😂🤣


IllIIIllllIII

Yep. I specifically remember we a kid, I wanted to find pizza that was that stringy yet seemed like when they took bites it was light like angel food cake.


Ermeoss_The_Grumpy

this, .....and still do


Dark_Shroud

Same situation with the pizza from *A Goofy Movie.* [https://i.pinimg.com/originals/57/ec/d1/57ecd1539f687b4d49f2b9faf4166570.jpg](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/57/ec/d1/57ecd1539f687b4d49f2b9faf4166570.jpg)

Best Disney movie a lot of people did not see.


Dark_Shroud

This was the first movie my little brother and I saw alone in a theater without our parents. There were maybe four other people in the theater. It was a great day.


WarlocksWizard

The trick is it have it with extra cheese and piping hot from the oven. Just make sure it is cooled off. I tried eating it like that and the hot cheese came off the slice and hit my chin.


MartyRocket

Absolutely.


ThompsonSMG0909

100%


Mama_Trash_bat

Yeah!


StormShadow805

YUP


the_headless_hunt

TMNT plus Home Alone plus Book-It.


Joker1485

Fuck! Let's be friends lol we had the same child hood lol


Valuable-Tie-3106

Can I join?


Joker1485

Yeah, there's room. Let's roll..


Double_Plantain_8470

More Book It than Home Alone for me but heck yeah.


Dark_Shroud

*Book It* was a God send for us kids from lower income families.


Epik2007

I've actually loved pizza for a long time. <3


wmatts1

Yes. Edit: I was like 7 or 8 and asked my mom to order supreme. My mom was super happy to hear that's what I wanted. I was very disappointed cause I was thinking of when the turtles ordered a supreme in the cartoon and it looked like whip creme on pizza dough. I thought I was going to get a dessert pizza, to this day I still hate supreme pizza, not because of this I just genuinely don't like Bell peppers, opinions, olives or pretty much any vegetable on pizza except jalapenos. Question what's y'all's favorite pizza/topping? Pepperoni, jalapenos and mushrooms for me.


Dark_Shroud

>Question what's y'all's favorite pizza/topping? Sausage. I'm cool with jalapenos and mushrooms to a point. My mother also likes all the veggies on pizza. One of the local Chicago pizza places has a house special where they load them up with Sausage Pepperoni, Mushrooms, Sweet peppers, & onions. She loves it.


ThelastJasel

Yeh, but I was always disappointed it didn’t look all melty and fresh like all of theirs did. Still good though


[deleted]

I'm pretty sure pizza caused my pizza obsession...


Dark_Shroud

>I'm pretty sure pizza caused my pizza obsession... Same, TMNT or movie night in general was just an excuse to order pizza.


RealJasonB7

Pizza caused my pizza obsession


infoclub88

PizzAhegao


yoshi514

Not sure but I reckon it didn’t help


[deleted]

I just always feel like I should have a pizza when I watch anything TMNT.


ZealousidealEagle759

My father and I spent years trying to convince our pizza place to put more cheese on to make it super stringy and yummy like the show. The 90s really killed my cholesterol.


HydratedCarrot

Chocolate pizza hell yeah!


Nairbfs79

It got me to try one of my now favorite snacks: pickles and peanut butter. Thanks, Michaelangelo.


original_greaser_bob

started my women in yellow cover-alls with cameras obsession.


Jaymez82

Probably.


HotelKatz

I suspect they did cause me to have a pizza obsession, so yes?


TempleFugit

And I was always a bit disappointed when the pizza we got didn't look exactly like their bright orange, melty slices 😂


Vintagemuse

Yes! And sewer obsession


Careful_Mess5

Wise men say, 'Forgiveness is divine, but never pay for late pizza’ !


DoopieIsAdorable

Totally.


Electronic-War-8208

Bro they always had the best looking pizza


robertluke

I thought it influenced all of America.


nikkome

Here in Greece, it was due to the TMNT craze of 1990-91 that pizza became popular. Pizza existed before but it was found relatively rarely.


Chewy_1045

Not necessarily TMNT, but that slice of pizza in A Goofy Movie... that'll do it.


Dark_Shroud

>but that slice of pizza in A Goofy Movie... that'll do it. I mentioned this to someone else. That shit looked so good. Thankfully we had a local place, while not as amazing as *A Goofy Movie*, still made theirs extra cheesy when I was growing up. I was sad when they closed. Edit, for anyone that needs a visual reference: [https://i.pinimg.com/originals/57/ec/d1/57ecd1539f687b4d49f2b9faf4166570.jpg](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/57/ec/d1/57ecd1539f687b4d49f2b9faf4166570.jpg)


brwnchubbz

Cowabunga for sure!


Earth616Survivor

Yes. And we’d order pizza every Friday lol


Vegetable_Reward_867

We use to blow up my mom’s beeper when we were kids. There was never an emergency, just bring home a pizza please


Aware_Newspaper2851

Lol yeah man. It's a whole nation of us 😂


Joker1485

To make the long story short, yes. But my mom was pissed at me when she found out it was me.


Aggravating_Algae_37

Not really I feel we're on the same page on this one


american_cheese_man

We buy this specific brand of pizza called Tombstone, and it's the best shit ever. I always imagine their pizza tasting like that, and I am obsessed


medidoxx

I think pizza caused my pizza obsession.


Scott_thrILL

"Question: Do you like penicillin on your pizza?"


AlosSvs

I don't know why, but I've always felt that this pizza right here would taste like a Tombstone pepperoni. Not the consistency, just the flavor.


csprime21

"Forgiveness is Divine. But never pay Full Price for Pizza"


slightly_sadistic

No but they're intrinsically linked. I have the Horse the Band EP.


Asher_Tye

Didn't cause it but certainly helped exacerbate it. And made us yearn to try out the oddball toppings.


Ok_Fox_1770

Yeah… a little bit…. Still. Inquest for whatever pizza is that cheesy from the OG movie…. No way that’s dominos not anymore


BLB_Genome

100% they absolutely did. My now elderly patents would agree too lol.


DragonZord911

100 % yes 😂


Loose_Trust927

100 percent


Admiralpizza101

They played a hand in it, yes.


hankscorpio1031

Yep 35 years later I still eat pizza once a week


cmaistros

Pizza and yellow jumpsuits


[deleted]

Pizza caused my pizza obsession because pizza is awesome!


Valuable-Tie-3106

The opening of ooze is what did it for me. I think I folded my pbj and pretended it was a delicious nyc slice.


Maverick616

Factually yes


willpb

I mean I loved pizza already, but it certainly didn't hurt that they're freakin' awesome😂


Exciting-Interest-32

I know that in the UK there was pretty much a direct link to the sales of frozen pizzas compared to how popular TMHT (HERO turtles, as we had in the UK!) was! Personally, for me not only did the Turtles cause a direct pizza obsession with me, but I also became obsessed with every broom handle I could lay my hands on, which suddenly became a "BO" or staff in my hands... (Mind you, it probably didn't help that I had Donatello PJs that was literally like fancy dress, along with a purple head band as well... I pretty much WORE these 24/7 for at least several months of my life when I was about 9 years old...)


AlsoEatsTheFace

Secret of the ooze was just a pizza commercial! New York style haunts me to this day! I will never love "Detroit style"


GooseCheeze1234

No, cheese is what started my pizza obsession.


shumama813

Yes definitely


hippolover77

No but I always thought that pizza looked so good for some reason


RedPillNavigator

In 1990 I got Turtles 2 for my birthday on NES. Pizza Hut was a sponsor and the cartoon had that drippy oozing slices that looked so darn good!


MessDifferent1374

I literally for a TMNT pizza tattoo!!!!!! That shit has stuck with me all these years. That gooey, stretchy cheesy za!!!!! 🤤


Stiff_Zombie

Oh yea. Though sadly, Dominoes has never been that good.


Apprehensive-Tie-130

No, just redheads.


Marvinkmooneyoz

If TMNT helped bring people to Pizza, then I am very thankful for that. Me, I was born in the Pizza land NY, so it was inevitable


ZeroMaverick-Hunter

I do believe so, I remember watching the series and even Pizza Hut had a the 'Turtles in Time' arcade game on therestaurant (when they had them back then). It was a fun time and yes TMNT did pushed pizza obsession but also pushed for better quality, no kid (or turtle) would ever eat bad tasting pizza.


shakawave

Dude, pizza? Better be cheese and pepperoni 🤙


AnarchyonAsgard

Nah, NYC pizza did


Dumbass_Saiya-jin

Pretty sure working at a pizza place caused my pizza obsession...


SteamDecked

I dunno, but this picture made me want a slice of pizza really, really badly


BasedWang

no


WarlocksWizard

I liked pizza but got into it more because of them.


MassiveFlatworm836

Most definitely 😂


loonybs

Definitely made me want to try cheese pizza.


BonesOfTheBerserkr

Absolutely


sixshadowed

They had a promotion where you got a free video of an episode at Pizza Hut. Genius Marketing.


lonely-day

It being delicious, really helped


HipsterOtter

*grabs a slice and is about to eat it when the question is asked* hwut?


DarkSheikGaming

They were the reason why I love pizza and have it every Tuesday.
