Recently a video went viral in which it is ensured that its function is to serve as a support to separate one portion from the other without having to touch the one that is not going to be eaten. For many it was a great revelation, while for others it was a gross mistake that only confused users.
The reality is that it was created to prevent the container in which the food is delivered, which are usually cardboard boxes stacked one on top of the other, from collapsing in the center and coming into contact with the food during the delivery of pizzas.
It also serves to prevent, after it has been cut, the pizza from falling apart and the cheese from moving during the delivery person’s journey.

In the images you can see Seb Web Remove the piece of plastic from the center of the pizza and stick it in the middle of a slice. As you press the item against the portion that will remain in the box, you effortlessly lift the piece next to it to eat it without getting your hands dirty.
“Using the pizza protector this way means you don’t get grease on your fingers and you don’t touch other people’s food in the process – great,” one user noted. But most viewers said that’s not what the plastic stool was originally for.
According to Clarín, while some people claimed to use it as “a table for a Barbie”others maintained one of the real reasons: that it is used to keep the pizza together against the movement of the delivery man’s motorcycle or bicycle in traffic.
But most users knew exactly what it was used for and debated with the tiktoker. “It’s to prevent the lid from hitting the cover”. A third commented: “It’s not there for the portion-cutting thing, but it’s okay.”
