While waiting for my hair to grow, I switched on the television for distraction and while Channel Surfing (an OLofWL approved exercise - ha! NOT), a Domino's commercial popped up for their newest product - an OREO® Dessert Pizza!
A couple of questions for Domino Pizza: Is dessert pizza an oxymoron? Is it your secret mission to fatten us to point of explosion? Don't you want to be a part of the solution instead of the problem? Just how varied are the ingredients from location and supplier base (if you bothered to mention it, I suspect they are more varied than just varied)? And, do you realize that you have a typo on your nutrition (and I use the word loosely) information page? Very sloppy for such a big company! (see depepnding below; taken from your site).
To my peeps - resist, please! You do not need a pizza dessert pie. And please note that the calorie count, while at first glance may not seem like such a big deal, is based on a slice that is only 1/8th of a 10" pie. A ten inch pie is approximately the size of a sheet of paper. And it's filled with sugar, high fructose corn syrup and enriched flour (wheat or not, when it says enriched, it basically indicates that all nutritional value has be stripped out).

Serving size: 1 of 8 equal slices

I too, could not believe my eyes when I saw that ad!!!! Mega heart attack on a plate and then some. I thought, this is the height of irresponsibility for a company. This is the same Tom Monaghan who is building the "perfect" sin free community in Florida, Ave Maria!!! What's up with that Tom???

Sounds positively yummy! ;) Actually, every television ad for food scares me. AND there are so many of them! No wonder we feel so dissatisfied.

When I saw it, I thought it looked pretty gross, so I'm not too worried about trying to resist!
