The newest YouTube craze is the recording of a call placed by a Welsh man in a supermarket helpline complaining that his pizza had no toppings therefore he had nothing to eat for dinner. Minutes later, he realized that he opened the pizza box upside down. Admitting he was a fool, the man continued to complain that the box "should have been marked with instructions". A certain man named Nicky Labron said that the call was a joke and one of many prank calls posted on YouTube under his name. While ASDA supermarket chain spokesperson said that it sounded genuine, but it was not traceable. He added that ASDA "has no plans of marking its pizza boxes with instructions about how to open them".

Reaction
A funny yet odd story. The man's reaction was a bit odd because instead of checking the box first, he called the helpline to complain. Because if it was me, I would do the former. On a reflective note, however, I am wondering whether the ASDA pizza box the man got was a plain box without any information on it. As far as I know and have seen, the maker's name and pizza flavor are usually written on top of the box. With these information, one can tell that that is the opening side. If the pizza box the man got was a plain box, then, it is understandable that the man opened it upside down. He was also right to claim that it should have had "opening instructions." But If the box had the maker's brand on top of it, then, the man must have been really hungry to open it upside down. What I don't understand is the calling part. Nevertheless, whether the calling part is true or not, the lesson of this story is to check first before calling the helpline to prevent making a fool out of yourself in the end, unless, you want to become instantly famous.

Strange man. As you suggested he should have checked first.
