Scrumptious snacks: learn why pizza is the best for students
Publication date:
It is no secret that pizza is a stereotypical ingredient of the student life, so we decided to explore the truth behind one of the most popular foods of all time. Did you know that the first mention of pizza dates back to AD 997? That’s how old it is.
By now, it has indisputably become classic. We know we are going to stir arguments as there are plenty of foods deserving a place on the yummy list, but here is what makes this Italian dish special.
It tastes good.
Well, this may be too obvious, but here is what scientists say. We all have five types of taste, and pizza basically scores four out of five. Here is the deal: everyone loves at least one kind of it, and it’s hard to find students (even if they prefer it without meat) who would choose a regular snack over a juicy pizza. You don’t need a plate to eat it – just go ahead and grab! The pleasure centers are involved in the process of eating, and when you are tasting, you are simply igniting them. Truth be told, it is even more complicated than that.
It creates a single taste.
While different parts of the burger may taste peculiar, the ingredients that make up pizza blend into that secret mix of perfect and layered that is often mistaken for plain dough. Pizza, if we take all the processes into account, is by far the best dish humanity could have invented, for its cooking magic has something in common with the perfume-making. You take one flavor to get an entirely unique profile, and we think it’s pretty amazing. Besides, cafes can hardly compare to the convenience of the delivery.
It is relatively inexpensive.
Compared to the deluxe foods students are often offered at restaurants, pizza is not burning holes in your pockets. Picture a regular night out with your friends. You are trying to wind down after a long day in college, and there are several options available. Would you rather spend money on something exotic and equally unfulfilling or go out for a sweet, chewy, crusty slice? We place our bets on the second, and most students agree: the more time is devoted to studies, the fewer troubles you want to have with cooking, and pizza is the most likely answer! Whether you prefer pineapples or bacon, it is all good, as long as you are hungry. Cramming for an exam – let pizza be the solution. We think we know what’s good for a person, overwhelmed with studies and wishing these days to be over.
It sparks memories.
Pizza is often associated with great companies and good old times. The way it can be divided into several parts symbolizes friendly reunions and college and the way it is passed around is truly connecting. Pizza creates the sense of companionship that is impossible with any other kind of food. When you are sitting alone in the dorm and it is raining outside, pizza and coffee are by far the most popular ways to lift your spirits. You can eat it right out of the box without caring too much of the ethical side of it. It tastes great even if it’s cold, and only few foods can boast the same. We are not saying you should become a fan of cold servings instantaneously, but there is something really charming in the flavor department you can choose from. Besides, it helps you develop the team qualities – you cannot eat a slice without sharing, so basically we should all thank pizza for making us happy!
