Why is it that Pizzas are round, served in a square box and cut into triangles to eat?...

Far too many shapes for my liking...

Circular boxes are more expensive to manufacture and don’t tessellate

Dough is easiest to shape into an oval shape

The only way to divide a circle up equally into more than 2 pieces is triangles

Triangles do taste better

I read a scientific explanation for this curious phenomena not so long ago but have sadly forgotten it

I think it was actually relating to how much one could get into one’s mouth and the taste overload.

Giving this a nano seconds thought I have an answer.

You are on the train, no control and free to roam about, so on it.

In a car you can't roam around you are seated in it, confined.

It made sense to me

A pizza slice is not actually classed as a triangle because of the curved edge on one side, a triangle is three straight sides.
