Eggs were a convenient choice, so they rolled with it. Over time, bars switched from plain hard-boiled eggs to pickled ones, because they could keep them longer, and they were neatly stored in a jar with shells already removed.

Around the same time, German saloons in the US started serving pickled eggs with beer, helping make both more popular around the States.

Well, not exactly. As Fermat’s Library’s (@fermatslibrary) tweet shows, there are 28 more square inches of pizza in an 18-in pie than in two 12-in pies.
