Awesome. Thanks. I think I'll start doing that now. I hate the clumps.

I wonder if it works for sugar
This seems like a worthy experiment

Let us know how that works. I switched to using sugar cubes because I hated the clumps in my sugar dispenser.

Another question for everyone on here: what is the purpose of those white triangle things that a lot of pizza restaurants place in the centre of the pizza? Like this: https://i.redd.it/yan7rc2z3m411.jpg. There's gotta be physics behind that. What would happen if those white things weren't there?

Stops the lid sagging into the pizza plus from getting squashed if sat on.

Fascinating. Just fascinating. It's the small things in life that intrigue me.

It is, It is. I've been fascinated with these things for ages too 😉

I bet the person who invented it must be loaded! Such a crude, yet important device.

they also serve some rice along with wheat beer, and that is used to keep the fizz going

some kind of luck/superstition thing?

You'll see it more often at restaurants with open kitchens cause there's so much heat and humidity.
