  2. It must be unusual or cursed in some way. a. For example, something like Doritos Milk would be unusual, but normal milk would not.

Only thing thats scaring me is the '100% real cheese'. Like wtf is that for?? What else would if beeee??? Now I'm suspicious

Chickpea pizza has the whiff of vegetarian/vegan food about it. Saying "Real cheese" sounds better than "Not suitable for Vegans"

As a vegetarian I'm not 100% certain I should be eating this. It includes "chicken flavoring (list of seemingly vegetarian, but not vegan ingredients)," on the back and I think it's fine so I YOLO'd it. This flavor combo made me go looking for specifically chicken in the ingredients list, and I suspect it's more British takeout inspired. Although this is for the US market and you might be right about the average American consumer.

I've definitely seen "real cheese" labels on pepperoni and other clearly has meat pizzas before, it's a stupid marketing thing. Because once one company does it, it makes you wonder if the others pizzas are also made with "real cheese", and some people actually care if it's not despite the fact that 100% of a frozen pizza is Manufactured Food Product™.
