Hot, Delicious Product

The reheating instructions on my pizza box say to, "remove product from box".

Nobody goes to "Product Hut". No one orders a "Pan Product". Yet, when no one is looking, on the lip of the box, the legalese sneaks in right under our noses. We don't notice because we are too distracted cracking the lid to smell the pizza. The pizza!

Dad: "Honey, don't cook tonight. Why don't we order a product? Does that sound good, kids?"
Kids: "What the hell is dad talking about? Product?"
Mom: "We don't say that word in this house, kids. That goes for you too, dear."
Dad: "I guess I do say 'hell' sometimes..."
Mom: "I meant 'product'. We don't say 'product'."

Why can't they just call it pizza, like the rest of us?
