Economics : Why does a pizza box have a square shape?


Why study economics?

Economics seem to be about the finance in big picture.

But actually,

economics can be used to answer simpler question in life

like

many books like Freakanomics , Naked Economics have portrayed.


One of the question is

Why does a pizza have a square shape

and not a circular shape like a pizza ?



The answer is done in economic way.

The box is made a square shape

as it is easier that way

and also

reduce the cost of production of the box

as it can be folded much more easily in a square shape

and not circular shape

so it is better to keep the box stock

on the shelf.


Also , in terms of convenience,

it is easier to pick up a pizza from the box

if the box is square and not circular.



Everything around us has a reason

why it has the shape it has now,

we just don't think about it

that is all.
