Millions Have Eaten Thousands of Pizza Slices

iStock/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — Let’s see. Six thousand divided by eight is 750, which means if you’re a typical American, you’ve consumed the equivalent of 750 pizza pies from the age of eight to 70 years old.
Actually, CiCi’s Pizza, which conducted a survey of 1,000 adults, says the approximate number of pizza slices eaten by the average American is closer to 5,952.
Because there are some people who don’t really care for pizza — if you can believe it — somebody else had to take up the slack.
As a result, about one in ten people claim to eat three slices, three times a week. Over the course of 62 years, that works out to an astounding 26,784 slices.
So what’s the big attraction about pizza, aside from the cheesy flavor? Respondents to the CiCi’s survey said its convenience plays a role as does the relatively low price to get filled up.
Asked what dream topping they’d put on their pizza, the top answer was lobster, followed by shrimp, crab and filet mignon.
