Popular Youtuber, Shane Dawson, has shaken social media and all those who have ever been to the kid's arcade, Chucky Cheese's when he posted a conspiracy video on Youtube in 2021 explaining how they recycle pieces of pizza leftover from tables that did not finish it and assemble the random slices into another "fresh" pizza. In the video, Shane brings up multiple examples of photos people have posted online of their pizzas from Chucky Cheese's not being the same slice measurements as other slices in the pizza. It is clear the slices do not fit and did not come from the same pizza.

This claim is false and only used as a way to gain popularity and attention on Shane Dawson's part. Since Shane Dawson's video has been released, there have been a number of other Youtubers who have tried to tackle this question themselves. Employees from Chuck E. Cheese have also come out and said that they have never used old pizzas and put them together. A Youtube video created by MatPat takes a look at this theory, buys the pizza to test the theory and even gets into contact with Chuck E. Cheese employees and finds that the theory is false. The pizza is just cut with a dull type of circle shaped pizza cutter which results in really janky pieces of pizza.
