Can you eat more pieces of pizza if...?

Question

The pizza is cut into smaller pieces or bigger. I realized I could eat more if I cut the pizza in 1/8th rather than 1/4th. When I cut the pizza in quarters, I can only eat half, but when I cut it in eighths, I can eat 3/4 f the pizza. Weird huh? What about ya'll?

Answer 1

Yes that it pretty weird. I just eat the whole thing to avoid dealing with fractions.

Answer 2

For most people I'd say it makes sense that they can eat more of a pizza if it's cut in smaller slices. It's the mentality that you're eating less when you're really not. My stomach is like a black hole so it doesn't matter to me. I just scoff the whole thing down. :-D

Answer 3

Yogi Berra was once asked if he wanted his pizza cut into 6 slices or 12.
His response:
You better cut it into 6, because I don't think i could eat 12.

Answer 4

Yes. I seem to eat most pizza (all of it) when it's cut into squares.
Never thought about that before, though.

Answer 5

You are probably eating it more slowly when it is cut into smaller pieces and so it gets a chance to settle in your stomach and you can fit more.

Answer 6

It's a mind thing, you think since the slices are smaller then your not eating as much (i.e one more wouldn't hurt)

Answer 7

i once ate a whole large pizza and three root bear floats
im small too

Answer 8

I don't think the size of the slices has any effect on your appitite.

Answer 9

pizza YUM

Answer 10

well, if you can, it's all psychological. It's still the same amount of food.
