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

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.
Can you freeze it?

Looks like Pizza the Hutt.
wrote last edited by [email protected]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

I might take inspirations from those images for creature design.

wrote last edited by [email protected]You can but then you need to thaw it to get it ready, which defeats the purpose in many operations. Like I've been turned away from grocery store pizza because they hadn't thawed their dough balls yet and I found such a situation absurd.

Good place to collect wild yeast?
Dumpster concerns aside, I think these count as feral yeast.

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.
Ya, I was thinking maybe a power outage/fridge failure cause a whole fridge worth to need to be tossed at once, but most pizza shops are gonna try to toss as little dough as possible.

So how do you get rid of old dough?

Bottom right is Peppes pizza. The bases come pre-sauced and frozen in packs of 20. You put them into an oiled pan and put racks of these pans into a leavening cupboard. They puff up a lot, but they need to be used the same day. Because they fall pretty quickly.
My guess is that they accidentally dropped a couple of boxes down the stairs and shattered them to the point they couldn't be used. Tossed them into the bin without thinking and the midday sun took care of the rest.
Similarly with chain pizza places like PJ's, the dough is made at a central location and distributed by truck twice a week. It's kept refrigerated for a while but it needs to be taken out of the fridge to rise. Sometimes franchises will order too much and it develops a black marbling of dead yeast, when it gets old. Can't sell it at that point so you toss it in the bin.
In short it's a failure of capitalism.

Careful not to such around long enough for the piggies to show up. Corporate considers it property theft, the ultimate crime.
