      Actually what I'm advocating is small businesses and sustainable food consumption. Generally speaking the larger a company becomes, the worse the product is and the more environmental damage it does. I've worked at both chains and independent restaurants and the difference in food waste is truly shocking.

        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.

              Yeast is anaerobic, meaning that it doesn't need access to air to metabolize sugars into CO2. So it's not gonna stop expanding once down the drain. Add to that the very sticky dough surrounding it, and you basically have a recipe ideal for clogging a sewer drain.

              You can make dough liquid by adding water.

                      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.

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

                        Also, some companies still put inedible chemicals like bleach or ammonia on their food trash to make it completely useless "as a legal measure" because otherwise homeless people who eat expired food might sue (according to the bean counters).

                              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.

                                This seems like a big liability. If they lock the dumpster or show other reasonable means of preventing scavengers then at best it's a deterrent and at worst intentionally poisoning people entrapped by the legal hurdle of vandalism.

                                IDK, seems like one of those things where there's a kernel of truth but also possibly in-group rage bait.

                                  The expanding part isn't making more dough, it's just eating starch and making carbon dioxide it's more or less a spongy balloon.

                                  if you walk over there with a shovel and whack it a few times it'll deflate back into the original volume.

                                  if you take a ball of pizza dough and let it rise and cook it, you'll get a loaf of bread.

                                      Of course they are, but in the capitalist paradigm success is synonymous with profit. So giant multinational companies making shitty cheap products is the goal of capitalism, because it allows for the greatest profit. In other words Macdonald's is better closer to the perfect expression of capitalist ideals than the artisanal gastro-pub with the coffee and cocoa encrusted reindeer sliders because they are more profitable, despite the fact they sell industrial food adjacent waste as food.

                                      As a side note, do try coffee and cocoa encrusted reindeer sliders. You'll have to make them yourself because as far as I'm aware they aren't actually a menu item anywhere.
