Nice try, Tony

Tony’s “Goodness by the Slice”

You almost have to give Tony’s credit for trying to convince us that their frozen pizzas are healthy (this was not a product I’d planned on purchasing, so they just got $2.04 from this guy for their bad advertising).

  1. Only a GOOD source of iron, but an EXCELLENT source of protein and calcium? Bastards!

  2. Let’s not forget that pizza has all four of the “Food Groups” in each delicious slice! And since some bribed-out addict at Dept. of Agriculture or FDA or whatever claims one needs like 10 servings of “breads and cereals” daily, it would seem that we should all be eating half a 15-incher each as part of a healthy “lifestyle.”

    Hehe. :)

  3. There can be only one Tony, and that’s Tony Montana!

  4. I take offense to Tony’s appearance. so now all Italians are olive skinned fat guys with big noses? And what’s with the tomato on his head? I’m outrages. Let me just say I have been to Rome and none of the men look like that. This cartoon looks more like my father in law, who is Guatemalan by the way. Pssshhh, I won’t be buying this racist excuse for indigestion. Thanks, Donnie! You keep us better informed than CNN! :)

    (seriously i have a special place in my heart for tony’s pizza. it got me through some long study sessions in college. the bacon flavor was the best.)

  5. My confidence in people’s judgment has gone up a small bit. it is nice to see others don’t buy into these kinds of claims either. by the way, pop tarts is an excellent source of those wonderful synthetic vitamins, yay!

  7. What everyone seems to forget is that everything can be an excellent source of vitamins and minerals.

    For example, all it takes for this pizza is for them to stir in a Flitstone’s chewable vitamin during the dough making process and voila!

  8. it comes with “goodness by the slice,” how can you NOT buy it?

  9. @BDK: We’ll give ‘em a break. It was only $2 after all.

    @Wahrheit: You are technically correct on that point, which is really frightening. Actually, a homemade pizza that controls the type and amount of cheese (and meats, if applicable) would probably actually be a healthy meal.

    @Edwin: Googling Tony Montana…. Sorry, yet another famous movie I haven’t seen.

    @Annie: You forgot to mention the mustache. There’s another frozen pizza Totino’s, I think, it is a bit smaller and even cheaper (10 years ago, you could find it for under a dollar).

    @l3rucewayne: LOL. A small bit should be all the amount it goes up.

    @wang: Good choice.

    @Allen: Yeah, but purple crust looks less appetizing.

    @chessloser: That’s exactly what tipped the balances in favor of buying the pizza.
