I would like to see how quickly you can take a flat piece of cardboard and fold it into a circular box.

Most companies get them folded down, and they have to fold them together.

If you've ever been in a box plant (I have many times) its a very easy answer. Square one's are much easier to make.

If the boxes were circular, then the only way to get the pizza out would be to flip the box upside down. And that'd be counter productive.

*Picture GS won't let me (re)post*

I think not!

I find it really strange how no matter how ridiculous something is, someone can allways find a picture for it on the internet.

It's like there's some hidden force guiding a chosen one of the internet to the correct picture everytime...

EDIT: Ever since I've "Upgraded" to vista GS is making my posts glitchy.

It makes the pizza look bigger. It also gives you room for your hand when you want to take out the first slice.

They should make it an option to decide the shape of your pizza's box. I tried googling circular and hexagonal pizza boxes, but all I got were square boxes. :(

Square boxes are easier to fold flat and easier to cut the pie while in the box.

And edges of a square box give it a firm shape that is not easily pressed from sides.

They are square because they make them square, you should never think this hard about a pizza box.
