The Oreo Dessert Pizza

I was walking on a wealthy side-street on the Upper East Side yesterday, I think it was 91st between Park and Lex, when I noticed that a mass coupon drop had been done there by Domino's. I snatched up a coupon right away, and not just because I knew most of them would be thrown out by housekeepers before the tenants got home. I took the coupon because it offered the most vulgar food item I've ever seen in my life: the Oreo Dessert Pizza.

Here is how Domino's describes it: "A new, dessert-style thin crust topped with vanilla sauce, OREO Cookie Crumbles and white icing." They don't say how big it is, nor do they answer what I consider a crucial question: Is it served hot?

When I was on RAGBRAI I saw plenty of Mexican pizzas and breakfast pizzas and fruit-salad pizzas, but I find this Oreo Dessert Pizza so much more intriguing. It's because of the brand name cookie (note the careful capitalization of "OREO Cookie Crumbles") and the inorganic black-and-white color scheme, which to me makes it look completely inedible. And it's expensive! For a limited time, if you purchase anything else at Domino's, they will sell you an Oreo Dessert Pizza for $3.99. For God's sake, how much is it otherwise? How much are people willing to pay for this thing? I don't want it for the discount price of $3.99, that's for sure. Isn't that the price of, like, a whole box of Oreos?

It occurs to me now that people who have TVs may have known about the ODP for quite some time. I guess here's another reason to be glad I don't watch TV anymore, then -- my TV ignorance makes me that much more alert to the flaws in our society.

That sounds pretty revolting, but could be turned edible with a huge glass of milk. As opposed to the KFC Famous Bowls, taken apart here by the inimitable Patton Oswalt:
