During my last trip to the grocery store I hesitated at picking up the usual California Pizza Kitchen frozen pizzas and instead went for some Digiorno frozen pizzas. Rest assured this is a mistake I will never make again.
First let me state that I consider myself a fairly bright individual. I know how to read the directions for cooking food and was even sharp enough to pick up on the recommended high altitude cooking settings. Digiorno, however, seems to think the statement, "Place pizza directly on center oven rack," translates to, "Place pizza AND CARDBOARD SHEET directly on center oven rack."
Alas, my ESP failed me in this scenario and I placed the pizza directly on the center oven rack at 375° for 25 minutes. I leapt for joy and rushed to the oven as the timer beeped, only to find my pizza had melted through in two places and was dripping on my oven's element. Not only was my dinner after a long day of school, work, and homework destroyed, but I was also given the added bonus of getting to smell burnt cheese and uncooked dough for the rest of the evening.
So for this I say thanks to Digiorno. Thanks for making my apartment smell terrible, thanks for enforcing the starving college student stereotype, and thanks for wasting my time and money. You've earned a favorable spot on my black list of companies and products I will never use or recommend. While I still have your attention, check out this awesome broken link on their site for the frozen pizza from hell.
