When I was a teen working at Little Caesar’s, we set up a giant elastic band in our back door, and would launch our expired dough balls at the Burger King drive-thru window across the street. Then they’d call us and yell. Fun times.

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 day ago

LMAO.. I would have loved to see them flying through the air!!

this is the yeast of my problems

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 156 points 2 days ago (2 children)

even if the original volume was 1/10, that's a lot of wasted food

You should see grocery store dumpsters.

You should see grocery store trash compactors. So much shit gets tossed and crushed

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 16 points 1 day ago

I saw once at my grocery store they were loading a bunch of boxes on a cart to transport them to the compactor in the back. They had a cart with some vertical metal bars, but no fully closed sides thus the boxes could easily fall off of the cart. So they got a roll of plastic wrap and wrapped around the whole damn cart to create these “walls” so the boxes wouldn’t fall off. The compactor in the back was maybe 200ft away. Smdh.

I don't know why they'd be throwing away so much dough. The only things I could think of is they made it wrong, or it's very old.

There's no way they accidentally made too much. Pizza shops usually have small dough mixers.

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 42 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

If they're making actual yeast dough balls you can't make that to order. You need to prep them and put them in the fridge and if the proof time is too long then they go in the dumpster. If they were hoping for a rush and didn't get it for whatever reason that could be a lot of dough balls. And when we're talking about one of the cheapest inputs in the whole system, doing too much prep is much preferable to doing not enough. Losing a $10-$20 pizza sale because you were worried about a 20 cent waste product is poor business.

Chains will usually ship the dough frozen from a central location, you then defrost it the night before you want to serve it. That means you need to project your sales for the next night otherwise it'll go bad. If you get it majorly wrong you'll be left with a load of dough that is bad

Looks like Pizza the Hutt.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 27 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

apparently they had to switch puppeteers for that suit so many times due to heat stroke, since the surface was actual pizza being heated from within

if the dough is unusable then there's really not much choice about what to do with it. I suppose you could partially cook it before tossing it, but that's a high cost option with regards to time, energy usage, and oven space.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Add twice as much water, stir until liquid, toilet.

[–] SilverFlame@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I'm imagining imagining world's worst fatberg and then doubling it after resting.

[–] Ketchup@reddthat.com 17 points 1 day ago

Pizza the hut ate himself to death in there !

[–] Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago (12 children)

So how do you get rid of old dough?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 80 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You paint it orange and make it president.

If you let it fully ferment it'll turn into a flat goo

[–] gitamar@feddit.org 16 points 1 day ago

Salt it. Salt blocks yeast.

Cook it first

At least they didn't pour it down the drain.

[–] Coolcoder360@lemmy.world 97 points 2 days ago (3 children)

It was the yeast they could do.

[–] notabot@piefed.social 19 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Yeah, they really had to rise to the occasion here. Some people would have disposed of it irresponsibly, but I guess they're just bread better there, although whoever left it in the sun must have been baked.

So the early 90s movies were telling us the truth about ooze after all?

Weird thing to do to a cybertruck but I’m down

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

These look like props from a Troma film.

With the heat from the sun hitting the dumpster too, hmm. That might actually be how they make theirs down the road.

[–] TomMasz@piefed.social 14 points 1 day ago

It hungers.
