【明報專訊】本港必勝客（Pizza Hut）早年一度推出沙律吧，顧客付出固定金額，可一次任意夾取沙律配料，不少人曾經努力研究如何把沙律推高。內地人比港人更勝一籌，近年不少民眾在網上發起「吃垮必勝客」運動，研究用最少錢，堆最多沙律，更有人以力學方式，研究哪一種「建築」方法最佳。《南方都市報》昨日報道，必勝客終於抵擋不住，於本月陸續取消沙律吧。

《南方都市報》日前派出記者，到廣州多家必勝客觀察，發現8月1日起沙律吧服務陸續取消。必勝客所屬百勝餐飲公共事務部發言人解釋，由去年九月起，內地必勝客轉型為「西式休閒餐飲」，自助沙律已不能滿足民眾的質量要求，因此才將其取消。

碗邊放蘿蔔條 沙律醬不可作「水泥」

其實，內地網民數年前已瘋狂研究如何製造「沙律塔」，有人更寫出「堆疊方案分析」，以力學研究堆沙律，如一開始要在碗邊上放硬蘿蔔條，擴大基座面積，亦不建議使用沙律醬作「水泥」，因為除了黏不住大塊水果外，還可能令配料更易滑走。有網民質疑此做法浪費食物，但「建築」愛好者則解釋，他們並非貪圖食物，「建塔」純為樂趣。

Coolio :
Pizza Hut dealt with the wrong crowd, man. lol

We did it 30 years ago. we spread the cucumber for foundation. the salad can reach 18 inches high!!

Coolio :
pizza hut has learned it the hard way what we Chinese are talented in...we pay a dollar for things but strive to figure any possible ways to get $10 worth of goods...it's in our blood. lol

are you saying we chinese are stingy?

not mainly, but most of us have a tendency to get the most out of things in my opinion.

我地以前都已經用蘿蔔條擴大基座面積，用沙律醬作「水泥」架喇!  呢個真係千古不變既建築原理囉!  估唔到今時今日既  pizzahut 仲未將 d 蘿蔔切絲或切片呀下!  可能佢地諗「食得幾多丫?」，冇謂趕盡殺絕啦!  

Coolio :
i guess it probably goes back to the same era as sodog's...

i worked at pizza hut when i was in highschool    ppl were really crazy making salad there    it's fun to watch ppl making it   but 99% of them were not able to eat them all afterward     what a waste   

Coolio :
yeah, i hear ya. :)
