This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

I was going to laugh at ‘pizza box’ being in English, but apparently the Dutch for ‘pizza box’ is ‘pizza box.’
Actually it's "pizzadoos".
This is for the well-behaved, for the others, it's "pizzadonts".
Good one, but it's actually pronounced like "pizza dose". This is of course because they contain a single dose of pizza.
Automated translation deceives me once again!
The explanation for why it's in English is likely that it would be foreigners eating pizza in the park. Amsterdammers would probably just take it home to eat.
Amsterdammers will have pizza delivered bij thuisbezord.nl. This is definately for tourists in places like Vondelpark.
Yeah, Vondelpark is also the only place I saw them (and the picture looks like it too), but I am just a tourist too (albeit a frequent one).

Funny, here in Germany, it's FLACHKUCHENSCHACHTEL.
