I know it's not the point, but how/why did you have $100 worth of pizza in the refrigerator?

Edit: I'm trying to imagine scenarios where that could happen, I have two so far. You ordered pizza for a meeting that got canceled, and the office refrigerator was huge. Or you ordered from a fancy pizza place that had waygu or something as a topping. I'm sorry, I don't know why this is bothering me so much.

It was 5 of the expensive pies from https://www.seriouspieseattle.com/serious-take-out-ballard/

I had gotten them for myself and a friend. They are small pies so a single person can easily eat two of them.

Ok, so that explains how they fit in the refrigerator. Though it's still confusing why you would buy 5 pizzas and put them in the fridge. Is it common around there to buy pizza in advanced and reheat it? Or were they just leftovers, and I was thinking too much about it?
I was new there and didn't want to have to run around to get lunch. The place was a bit of a distance.
Maybe it was paid for with bitcoin, like the infamous case: https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/cryptocurrency/bi...
it's clearly a lie!

The value of pizza is inversely correlated to the time it's been out of the oven. Once it's in the refrigerator it's worth max 1%

I mean ... one of my guilty pleasures is leftover pizza straight out of the fridge. Something about that chilled, congealed fat and sugar ... mmmmmmmmm

So to me it makes perfect sense that it's $100

I for one like leftover pizza if it hasn't hardened into a rock. In this case, the pizza had only been in there for less than a day.
Maybe original cost had been $10,000?
Or it was $100 worth of pizza spread over a longer period.
