Consumption of the Ridiculous

American's are notorious for being somewhat gluttonous in our consumption of... well, pretty much everything. Especially with those being constantly put in the media (the rich and famous), it becomes second nature to say, well of course Jay Leno has spent millions of dollars on cars, and yeah, so what that girl in your class owns 50 pairs of boots?

It gets to a point where people are simply consuming for the sake of consuming. It is engrained in our culture that to spent thousands of dollars on unnecessary, frivolous material possessions is actually a thing to be admired, and even set as a goal. Watching things like MTV's Cribs, I am sure there a thousands of adolescents aspiring to have a photo of themselves in the bottom of their pool like Rick Ross.






However, with our ridiculous consumption habits it shouldn't be surprising that Pizza Hut is coming out with Hot Dog stuffed pizza crusts and this latest creation-- the Crown Royal Cheeseburger pizza, with mini cheeseburgers as the crust! Look appetizing?


But here is the surprising part-- these over the top pizza creations aren't even available in the U.S.! They are currently offered in some parts of the Middle East and in the U.K. Hate to admit it, but I'm kinda curious about the cheeseburger pizza...
