I would wipe the mounded portion off and eat it. I have gone through 4lbs of crushed red pepper on pizza so far this year. I buy it in bulk

Glass might be a bit spicy, though

u/PetsAndMeditate 8d ago

Yeaaaa my bad I missed that. Too tired to be redditing lol. Missed a day from being sick this week and now I’m staying late to make up the hours so they don’t take away my health insurance

u/mannequin-lover 8d ago

u/PogintheMachine 8d ago

I wish OP gave more detail here- I’ve had the tops fall off shakers before but never had one just spontaneously shatter over my food

u/Tw1nFTW 8d ago

Only with that soft ass attitude!!

u/TheWelshChef 8d ago

Half way to a spicy marg

u/Few-Entrance-1768 8d ago

Glass? Isn't it just the lid falling off?

u/Rinbox 8d ago

I would agree except.. glass. Would have to hope they would replace this

u/__O_o_______ 8d ago

Just shake it out over the balcony like a dirty rug

u/Mogwai10 8d ago edited 8d ago

Man. Grew up in a place that had a quarter of a pizza and a drink for 2.50 back in the day. Huge slice of pizza. Broke me ate that for days

This dude I randomly ate with layered his pizza with a row of Parmesan. Then a row of flaky peppers. He had at least three layers of each covering the whole pizza. It was so bizarre. Like truly. It took like 15 minutes to finish. Had to go ask for extras.

I sat and watched it. By the middle of my journey, I realized he could just unscrew the tops. why didn’t he ever notice or realize that himself?

One of life’s mysteries.

Dudes: an award. For that? It’s a nice thing to see this. May the random moments never leave us.

Truly unhinged

u/McDaddy8484 8d ago

Maybe he wanted to appear civilized

u/SimplyaCabler 8d ago

I think you missed the giant chunk of glass.

u/PetsAndMeditate 8d ago

I did indeed. Oops

u/TiffanyTwisted11 8d ago

Happy Cake Day!

u/rooftopworld 7d ago

Just pick it out, surely there wouldn’t be any teeny tiny shards of glass in there. /s

u/SomeoneNearYou1 8d ago

I grow peppers and make my own as well fermented hot sauce.

5

u/PetsAndMeditate 7d ago

That’s a good idea I grow weed and houseplants and bonsai so why not peppers

4

u/LongjumpingJaguar308 6d ago

Home fermented hot sauce will rock your world!

2

u/ohdamnthatscraaazy 4d ago

That sounds so fucking good right now

2

u/Educational-Trip1542 6d ago

Beware - peppers too close to other plants can make said plant also taste like a pepper !

1

u/Drfoxthefurry 6d ago

Why fermented?

1

u/SomeoneNearYou1 6d ago

It's the best! My last batch was jalepeno/peach

u/MisterBucker___ 8d ago

I also love crush red pepper on my pizza. I buy so many bottles of it lol

2

u/PetsAndMeditate 8d ago

They got 4lb jugs online I think the brand was like spice world or something.

2

u/Weak-Cabinet866 8d ago

You can get them from restaurant supply stores as well!

u/Inner-Try-9451 8d ago

Death Is not okay

u/Upset_Journalist_755 8d ago

The broken glass, though...

u/BernieTheDachshund 8d ago

happy spicy cake day.

2

u/mxwke 8d ago

Especially small pieces of glass should be delicious

2

u/Major_LeeHungg 8d ago

Lol I would literally just tip it until all the loose stuff fell off.  I love pepper flakes on pizza.

Or (I was looking for a different gif but this works if you anthropomorphize the pizza.

2

u/PaceOk8426 8d ago

Get some Sichuan pepper flakes and thank me later.

2

u/PetsAndMeditate 8d ago

I will thank you now and I will thank you again later if it’s good 😭

2

u/ropean 8d ago

You need to step your game up to crushed Thai chiles or maybe ghost/reaper.

2

u/CartsOfDarkness 8d ago

One of my best pizza eating experiences was when I accidentally dumped half a bottle of red pepper flakes on the pizza and just rubbed off what I could lol.

2

u/Conebones GREEN 7d ago

Happy cake day!

2

u/MissJizz 7d ago

They’re good on top o ramen too if you’ve never tried

u/bravo-echo-charlie 7d ago

HAPPY CAKE DAY!!!

u/Helpdeskagent 7d ago

Literally just said this to my wife 😂, shake it a little, its perfect

1

u/infoagerevolutionist 8d ago

You're immune you need to bump up your spice methods, try sauces.

1

u/XDLaugingEmoji 8d ago

You should try chili crisp on it. Specifically dragonfly chili oil if you like spicy

1

u/PetsAndMeditate 8d ago

Thanks I will :)

1

u/AandWKyle 8d ago

What about the glass shards?

1

u/Separate-Wrongdoer22 8d ago

Do you get heartburn from it? I used to eat it all the time but have to go super easy now.

1

u/PetsAndMeditate 8d ago

Not yet but I just turned 30, I anticipate that is on the horizon for me too sooner or later

1

u/IGTankCommander 8d ago

The shaker exploded. There's glass in that pizza now.

1

u/longpenisofthelaw 8d ago

Jesus how much pizza do you eat

1

u/PetsAndMeditate 8d ago

I eat it almost every day it’s the only thing I know how to make and it’s good. Before you ask, I’m not super overweight, blood pressure checked recently and it was good. I’m sure I’ll prolly die 🤷🏻‍♂️

1

u/Oceanman72 8d ago

Looks like a piece of glass in there though?

1

u/SignalBar 8d ago

Do you perhaps also regularly take omeprazole? Or do you just power through the burn?

1

u/kofie-popcorn 8d ago

Did you see the giant glass shard?

1

u/ophaus 8d ago

Glass. There's glass in there.

1

u/Shakewhenbadtoo 8d ago edited 8d ago

You are missing the broken glassssssssssss.

1

u/WeAreHumanBeing 8d ago

The Shaker broke. Glass/plastic shards visible in the picture. Do not ingest this.

1

u/SemillaMX1988 7d ago

wtf?!?! Don’t you see the glass bro. Hope u didn’t eat that shit.

1

u/N7even 7d ago

Looks like broken glass in there too, I would not risk that.

If it was just chilli flakes/red pepper, then yeah, just wipe it off and eat it.

1

u/Firemission13B 7d ago

The small chance for a glass shard to be in there is enough for me to just ask for a new pizza.
