Hello everyone, this is running on empty
food review
Well, hello, ladies and gentlemen and everyone watching
This is running on empty food of you and I am your host the report of the week
well
Number one first and foremost. I
Finally got on board with the latest high fashion in 2020. So here I am
I've stepped up the suit a little bit. I've got some matching gloves now and
Got some protection as well
But in all seriousness, I know these are crazy times. This is a some uncharted territory
We're in but we'll get through this we'll get through this and sometimes it's a little a little bit fun to
Make a little bit of a lighter atmosphere
especially with a you know, get it a lighter mass with the black suit and
I also instead of instead of the standard
Napkins gonna go with toilet paper today stocked up on that
So that's good and with it with some a little bit of wardrobe changes and some extra
Adjustments to the I don't know pizza consumption cleaning up. Let's get on to the other review
but yes, stay safe out there and sometimes it's okay to have a little bit of fun and these uh,
These crazy times and I got the gloves so it's okay to do that
But just have it a little bit of fun
The Big Dipper pizza from Pizza Hut no matter what Pizza Hut says we're still doing the releases
They're making a couple adjustments to you know
Keep everyone safe keep everything clean and keep things moving along though and with it
They do have a new release the Big Dipper pizza now it actually is a bit of a rerelease
So to speak the Big Dipper is uh, I guess you could trace it all the way back to the early 2000s it
Originally was the
What was it called? The dippin strips pizza, I think and it's two feet of pizza no sauce, and it's just these little strips
I'll show you in a minute and
You you take it you dip it in the sauce, and it's like a very very dippable
You know
it's it's just like you have the dipping sauce as you can dip them and
I don't know they kind of like it's they try to say it's like
And breadsticks and you can try these different sauces with the pizza and all that stuff
So they had this before they had this in the early 2000s
They had this I think in 2016 it came back and now 2020 hits back as well two feet of pizza
I mean you can see this box is bigger than I am
Now you just found out what my height is. I am two feet tall. So there you go
no sauce 24 strips and the sauces that comes with two marinara sauces of
ranch sauce and a honey barbecue sauce price for this is
$12.99 $13 but it is a very large pizza and it's a new item
It's unique and I understand why it's priced the way that it is but again marinara sauce ranch and honey barbecue sauce
The honey barbecue that sounds like an interesting one I know back in
2016
They had the marinara they had the ranch they had the barbecue and then they had buffalo sauce
I have remember I hated the buffalo sauce
So I think they kind of got rid of that and said let's replace it with a marinara sauce or something
So there you have it there the Big Dipper two feet of pizza and that's what we got
so, uh
Got the water there, which I just spilled a little bit but you couldn't sink and here's the box number one
What does it say on it?
Big
Dipper
TM
No one out pizzas the Hut right there
This thing is this thing it's gigantic
And there we go I
Am smiling under the mask you can't really see it, but there we go
And yeah, you can see pepperoni
Dipping sauces and all of that
Now, of course in order to eat the pizza. Yes, I will take the mask off now
But there we go, you know in all seriousness though stay safe, and I'm just having a bit of fun a bit of fun
That's all you can really do
to to make light of it, you know, you got to take it seriously, but you know
You still have to well you can't become despondent
You know, you can't say oh, it's you know, it's just all doom and gloom or whatnot
You just have to add a little bit of light or atmosphere
They cut it very strangely. I have to tell you that, you know, I was about to try it and
Number one. I'm just trying to figure out how to even
manage this
On this box cuz the thing is is so massive
I guess what its kind of going like this, but it seems to me like they didn't really
They're supposed to cut it
In the center and they never did, you know cuz see it's supposed to be
24 strips, right
Yeah, yeah the 12 the 12 strips and I cut them near 24 strips so they never did that's um, I
Don't know they just they did that since then you have a big super strip right there
So I guess I'll just I'll rip it in half. So what I'm gonna do real quick is I'm just gonna
You can see I got the pepperoni one. You can get it with some cheese or room. That's I think about it
just pepperoni or cheese and
What I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna try this out first and then I'll just go through the dipping sauces. And uh,
Let's go from there Big Dipper pizza from Pizza Hut going in
Yeah, it's just like how we remember it back in
2016 I would say we're
You know without the sauce the pizza is just very very basic
It's like the bare minimum, you know, it's like their pan pizza. So it's got that little bit of a fluffiness
But it is a little doughy
Right. I mean you taste the greasiness of the cheese and the pepperoni and whatnot
But for the most part, yeah, it's very dry
You would say, oh the pizza is lacking because it doesn't have any sauce which is where these dipping sauces come in
So with that we're just going to go down the line and we'll just try them all out real quick
so first up we got the marinara sauce, which I'll
Shake up for you. I
Was trying to figure out what the mask I was saying well
Which video should I finally break it out? And I said, all right. I'll go for it with the Big Dipper
There we go
Right there there's your marinara sauce in it. So let's try it out there number one marinara sauce
You can pretend since this is off-camera that you have like a road of
Big Dipper Pizza just leading leading to you or something if you want to do that
The marinara sauce is the most standard one
Might it's easily the most basic and it just makes it taste like a normal pizza. It has that robustness from the tomato
And then it also has a little bit of a sweetness. That's what I always liked about their marinara sauce
you know, it's it's got that little bit of a touch of sweetness there and
Yeah, so the marinara sauce is pretty standard. I would go with the marinara sauce if you just want like that basic, you know pizza
Like a basic pan pizza, right just that robust tomato flavor with a little touch of sweetness
Now I would imagine since they're talking about sweetness
I would imagine right but this one is gonna be a bit on the sweeter side as well there honey barbecue sauce
since
It's called honey barbecue. So I figured that would imply that it is sweet
Unless it's like you know now it's they changed a flavor behind our backs and it's like it's sour apple
Barbecue, which I guess is possible, you know, it's it's it's in their place. They can do what they want to do with it
But I would imagine it's sweet. So honey barbecue
Now
Try that out
Big Dipper
It's alright, I'm not the biggest fan of it
The way that it really just blends with the grease
I'm for the cheese and the pepperoni. I don't know it just doesn't really
Totally work. I mean I've had pizzas
From Pizza Hut, years ago I remember they had all these weird names on the menu and it was like, um
Yeah, they had this barbecue chicken pizza. I don't know it's called like the the backyard
barbecue
cockadoodledoo
pizza or something like that and
I remember that had this very similar sauce and I mean it like a kind of work. It kind of didn't very very similar
I mean
Yeah, you really do notice a very prevailing sweetness. No, it does clash a little bit again with that overwhelming greasiness
Of the of the cheese and maybe that little spiciness of the pepperoni
So I mean it kind of works, but I would say that it's it clashes more than it tastes good
I mean, you know if I were forced to sure I'd eat it. Um, I would prefer the marinara over the barbecue
And now finally we go to the ranch right there
Ranch so let's give that one a shot
Cool Ranch in it up. Hmm. Yeah
The ranch is better than I thought it would be to tell you the truth
I wasn't sure how the ranch should really taste on the pizza. Sometimes it works
Sometimes it doesn't um, but to tell you the truth the ranch sauce
Actually tastes good. I like that bit of that
just that Tang that the ranch has
Yeah that and a little bit of like a tartness. You know, it really works. I mean
Yeah, it clashes but it it stands out in a good way because again, otherwise the pizza by itself has
You know could be more on the bland side
But with that ranch dressing, yeah that Tanginess
It does really bring out a lot of flavor and oh the ranch sauce really works
I would say of these three if I were to rank them. My favorite would be the ranch sauce because the marinara
It's basic. It's like okay
We know what that is
We know what the marinara sauce is, it just gives that basic robust tomato sauce the
Ranch sauce. Oh, that's my favorite one for sure. That just adds so much to it
and I just again I'm like that just a little bit of a
tartness that it provides
um, but after that
I would say then you have the marinara sauce and then least favorite would be the honey barbecue sauce because I don't know there's this
something in it
It just doesn't totally work. This is my two cents
So out of ten
$12.99 for this there's a lot of Pizza. I mean you're getting tons of pizza for this you got these different sauces
It's a novelty item, but I think it's pretty fun to eat. I mean
Assuming it's cut properly to but you could dip it in the different sauces you could have fun with it
You could try it out. Whatever you want. You can mix all three sauces together into like some
vile concoction and you know just do whatever you want with it and
Yeah, have fun with it. I like it though. I mean, I think it's as fun to play around with it. It's fun
I don't have a problem with it. So out of ten I would give it a seven point seven out of ten mix again
It's you know, it's like a novelty item, but it doesn't taste bad
I don't have a problem with it and two of the three sauces are pretty good
And I imagine some of you would be fans of the honey barbecue as well
So well, that's all that I have for you trying out the big dipper pizza from Pizza Hut
Yeah, go get it if you want to but please just be aware of your surroundings
Be safe out there
and you know just look play it off based on your comfort level what's going on for you how your area is doing and
Go from there going forward. You might see me doing a bunch of frozen
Review is pretty soon. But the videos will continue no matter what and in all seriousness
Please stay safe out there
These are crazy times
but we're all gonna get through this we all will and
This will be things will be back to normal before you know it
Thank you for watching and do take care and then no matter what I'll still be here with another video very soon
