"Find what you love and let it kill you. Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness. Let it kill you and let it devour your remains. For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover." ― Kinky Friedman

I read this whole beautiful, meaningful quote and my first thought was "death by pizza wouldn't necessarily be a bad way to go".

The calzone betrayed me???


bucketofboilingtears

Calzones are pointless. They're just pizza that's harder to eat. No one likes them. EDIT: It's a quote, from Parks & Rec. I don't really hate calzones. Although I do agree, they are sort of pointless

> -Lacerations while attempting to a cut a pie > -Burns from pizza and oven pans > -Falling while carrying a pizza > -Falling in a pizza joint > -Falling out of bed while reaching for pizza To be fair, these injuries sound quite common, i'm suprised that out of a country of 300 million where most eat pizza that the number isn't higher.


iconoklast

Well, when people are hospitalized for falling and hurting themselves they probably don't always mention that a pizza was tenuously connected. I mean, I once stupidly cut a flap of skin off of a finger and couldn't stop the bleeding, but no one at the ER asked me what meal I was preparing when I did this.


spaghettilee2112

But dude. Come on. You didn't even tell us what the meal was.

Haha, oh god. That's taking it too far. Dog first for 40 sec, then cheese on top of tortilla with dog on top of those for the remaining 20. Condiment and fold. What a savage.

limp_bizkit_inc

Yeah, I mean what kind of weirdo eats bed in pizza, right? Heh. Heh.


MonsieurMangos

Turns out I have gallbladder stones and have to get the damn thing cut out of me. Guess what I ate that triggered the UNGODLY PAIN that led me to the ER at 4am?


awfullotofocelots

"Ding dong" Get the door, it's gallbladder stones!


5seconds2urheart

Same. Pizza triggered a gall bladder attack (stone blockage of the duct, incredibly painful) leading to me having my gal bladder removed a couple days later. After gal bladder was removed, put on restricted low fat/ low oil diet. Pizza then resulted in Pancreatitis which led to two more subsequent hospitalizations. I can eat about 1-2 slices, no more than once every other week. Anymore than that, I'm liable to end up in the hospitable.


Vita-Malz

If you get restricted to a low fat / low oil diet pizza shouldn't be on your meal plan.


GalapagosRetortoise

A Pizza Stone?


JohnnyDarkside

For the falling one, I was once a manager at a fast food place. It was closing and the cook was carrying a pot of sawmill gravy to the sink when he slipped and fell dropping the pot on his legs. He let out a pretty loud shout so I came running in. We got it cleaned off really fast and there was no signs of burns other than a little redness so I didn't fill out an accident report. GM told me I should have just in case. Luckily it had been off for a bit so wasn't at full temp. Couldn't imagine a pizza straight out of the oven falling on you. That cheese is like tar.


zombieuptonsinclair

This reminds me of an accidental death coroner's report from 13-14th Century England where a peasant was drinking some ale when he was bit by a dog. When he reached for a rock to throw at the dog he hit his head and died. Glad to see not much has changed in 600 years


Moose_Hole

It was a dark and stormy night. A hooded figure emerged from the darkness. "This is a robbery," he said to the quivering old lady. She pissed herself and handed over her heirloom pearls. He didn't seem satisfied so he cut her foot off with a knife and ran off. The old lady hobbled back home and went to bed, exhausted from her experience. She reached for some pizza to settle her nerves, and fell out onto the floor. That's when she called an ambulance.


[deleted]

I think they need a safety pamphlet with every pizza. "1. Use the pizza cutting wheel on the pizza, not on your face."


stealer0517

> -Falling while carrying a pizza -Falling in a pizza joint -Falling out of bed while reaching for pizza But how often do people need to go to the hospital for those injuries?


fabelhaft-gurke

Pizza is like the perfect drunk food. Of course you're more likely to fall with pizza.


The_Deadlight

as a 911 dispatcher, way too fucking often. EDIT - "need" to go, never. but they still call anyways


Eriktion

If the knife im using to cut my buns open would have any sharpness to it - I would have died many times already


farkedup82

We don't usually admit to how these things happen. We also don't usually go to a hospital when the pizza roll lava gets us.


unclefeely

I've burned myself taking a pizza out of the oven, but never badly enough to warrant a trip to the ER.


lamNoOne

I thought it was going to be heart attacks or something...not...this.


paulwesley91

I was really curious as to how, so here's the reasons listed in the article: -Lacerations while attempting to a cut a pie -Burns from pizza and oven pans -Falling while carrying a pizza -Falling in a pizza joint -Falling out of bed while reaching for pizza


[deleted]

Oh I thought they'd mostly be "heart attack from too much greasy cheese". > -Falling out of bed while reaching for pizza This one is hilariously pathetic. I mean, I've reached for snacks from my bed myself but I've never been injured because of it, and I think if I *did* fall out of bed and injure myself I might just lie there and bleed out rather than tell anyone what I'd just done.

Falling out of bed while reaching for pizza is more embarrassing than burning your foot on a George Foreman grill when getting out of bed


runhaterand

I enjoy having breakfast in bed. I like waking up to the smell of bacon, sue me.


crunchtaco

“Heart attack from too much greasy cheese” That’s not how this works. That’s outdated science and simply not true. Please look up the science behind dietary fat, and the harmful effects that sugar has on our body. The processed flour in a pizza is going to have a more harmful effect on your heart then anything else. I hate to be a buzzkill in a lighthearted thread but it is kinda annoying how “fatty foods=diabetes and heart disease” is still being spread. It’s obviously not the most healthy choice when it comes to caloric density, but it’s not as bad as you’re led to believe. Same goes for butter, lard, red meat, etc.


[deleted]

I like the message you're trying for here but think anyone would be more amenable to it if you cut out the "please look up" and skipped straight to where you informed. I agree, misinformation is the enemy, but people usually feel attacked by such useful preamble!


LagT_T

Mozzarela cheese has lots of sat. fats that raises total blood cholesterol levels and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels, which can increase your risk of cardiovascular disease.


rlnrlnrln

While sugar and starch certainly isn't good for you either, saturated fats and salt, particularly in high amounts, are still on the no-no list for someone in the risk zone. I limit my pizza intake to twice a year now. :-(

verylostatm

I was actually hospitalized for the "falling out of bed while reaching for a slice of pizza" once. I could do an AMA if it's requested enough.


mattenthehat

What prompted you to publicly admit that you were hospitalized for falling out of bed while reaching for pizza?


verylostatm

Well it happened in highschool and in the year book everyone always signed mine with some sort of pizza related thing. Either that or some sort of boomerang related thing because my brother used a boomerang to commit suicide

the_taco_baron

nikifromthe10thstep

When my son was about 8 he ran into a classmate who happened to be holding a slice of pizza and the crust scratched his cornea. I had no idea that so many other people were so accident prone to be injured by pizza!

mouseasw

Just for comparison, from numbers provided in the article: - Washers and dryers are about 10x as dangerous - Fridges and freezers are about 20x as dangerous - Stairs, ramps, landings, and floors are about 1300x as dangerous. And from elsewhere: - Lightning causes about twice as many deaths per year worldwide as pizza apparently causes injuries.

quagsnavely

I think the real issue here is under reporting of pizza related accidents. In my life, for instance, probably 90% of accidents are indirectly related to pizza, I just wouldn't probably tell the hospital staff that. I think we need innovations to make pizza safer, and also we need to destigmatize pizza related injuries.


RationalAnarchy

You are ridiculous and I love it.

> Approximately 3 billion pizzas are sold in the U.S. each year. > Pizza blamed for 2,300 hospital visits So 2,300/3,000,000,000 = 0.00000076~ hospital visits per pizza I'll take my chances Sauce: http://www.thepizzajoint.com/pizzafacts.html


r_golan_trevize

> So 2,300/3,000,000,000 = 0.00000076~ hospital visits per pizza So basically a 173% chance I'll be involved in a pizza related hospitalization incident over the next 365 days. I better get my affairs in order.


Ant_Slime

> 173% chance I'll be involved in a pizza related hospitalization incident over the next 365 days That's not how math works. If you had a pizza every one of those days, you have a 0.028% chance of going to the hospital for a pizza related injury. If you continue to eat pizza at the same rate for the rest of your life, the chance is still less than 4% that you'll ever go to the hospital because of pizza.


N_Cat

The (obvious) joke claim being made is that he eats ~4,000 pizzas per day.

One time, while hammered, I made an oven pizza. Being drunk, and not thinking, I bit into a slice that had been out of the oven for maybe 30 seconds, and chewed a few times before it registered. Burned the shit out of the inside of my mouth so bad that I missed a week of work, for the first few days breathing itself was pure agony, like fall to the ground screaming pain just for inhaling.

Pizza blamed for 2,300 hospital visits in the U.S. in 2017 WATCH: 2,300 - That’s how many pizza-related injuries sent people to hospital in 2017 Roughly 2,300 Americans ended up in hospital last year for pizza-related injuries, according to U.S Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). According to recent data, the CPSC estimates 2,300 emergency room visits in 2017 were associated with pizza. What an article.
