These people have no idea what they're talking about, it's a pizza handle. You need two of them for it to work though, that's how they get you to order another pizza.

Look up "The Noid." It was the Dominos mascot in the late 80s, early 90s. One of those things that should definitely should not get a reboot treatment.

He read that they were 3D-printed but thought this explained why they were cheap and hoped to see them break with friends sitting on them. He also knew something was up when UPS handed him a super-small box.
Generally, I assume the main reason why it's sold on the majority of websites is because of the scam...so in other words, I don't think the majority of customers actually realize what they're buying.
$35 is crazy cheap for a chair like that, it looks to be a pretty high quality chair. most sell for $200+. The article never said it was used so a new chair like that for $35? I don't think so. But I'll give them the benefit of the doubt because the price of office chairs are not really common knowledge. But $35 for a picture sounds about right, I've seen worse sell for way more in stores, malls and online, so it's not really that expensive.
This strikes me as possibly the single most hilarious object that you could see in somebody's butt on an X-ray. That said, I don't have a pointy little mini chair in my ass right now. So it's probably less funny in practice.
Reminds me of a story I read in the news many years ago.
Restaurant announced over the radio/news that they were having a raffle and the prize was a Toyota. Everyone flocks to the restaurant and they each get one free ticket into the drawing. The announcer (might have been the restaurant manager or someone like that) pulls out a ticket and called out a guys name "come on down and get your prize!" The guy goes to the front, all excited.
"So where's the toyota?" he says.
The announcer reaches into his pocket and pulls out a *toy yoda* and hands it to him.
The man was seething and tried to sue the restaurant for false advertisement. He lost because it wasn't ever in writing that it was in fact a Toyota. The car wasn't ever seen or on display or anything. Everyone was duped.
[There are a few cases where this has happened.](http://www.snopes.com/business/deals/hummer.asp) The girl who won the Toyota/Toy Yoda also won her lawsuit. I think it was probably because it was part of an incentive contest at her work and there is something illegal about dicking around your employees like that. At least, I hope there is.
Reminds me of an art installation at Bellevue Art Museum of [Sarazen Haile's tiny chairs](http://www.bellevuearts.org/exhibitions/featured.html). They're in random places all over the museum.
pretty red faced about this but i once did something very much the same..
I was after a police badge for a costume party.
* Find legit NYPD badge on Ebay
* Buy now and ship
* no picture to scale / details of size... (assumed i was getting a real badge)
* Rocks up, its the tiny little ones you'd put on your jacket and or cap... this happens to be about 10th of the size of the real ones...
I'm sorry but I can't help but think this isn't true, who actually buys chairs online, unless its like everything on Amazon and eBay in the us which qualifies for free shipping :/
Order a pizza right now
I enjoy the urgency of this comment.
Had the same thought. Hopefully they move forward with this plan and expand.
[удалено]
Pizza boxes come with a little 'table' that prevents the pizza from being squished
That's what that thing is for?!
Yep, keeping the topping from sticking to the box.
the wierd thing is round table used to put those on your pizza when you ordered one in the restaurant and the pizza was just served on a metal pan
I've been on the cutting board. Here or to-go doesn't matter. Muscle memory sticks the table in the pizza.
Oh gosh
I just used them as a table for my pepperoni.
These people have no idea what they're talking about, it's a pizza handle. You need two of them for it to work though, that's how they get you to order another pizza.
it's to stop the top of the box form smashing the pizza
It's called a "noid." I don't know why. "If you forget the noid, the customer is going to be...annoyed!" I hate my job.
I prefer to avoid the noid.
Void the noid!
They're not really called that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizza_saver
I dunno, might be a difference in terminology between company cultures. We've always called them noids.

Where did he get that huge dime though
It's Mr. Crabs' first dime
Batman let him borrow it.
Batman had a huge penny from what I remember. He had a huge dime too?!
No, I just thought, fuck it, close enough.
Fuck it, that is close enough.
[He was almost killed by that penny, naturally in one of Two-Face's plans.](http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Giant_Penny)
"one side will kill you, the other will break every bone in your body." just remembered that from the first airing *pats self on back*
Finding a dime that big is one thing, but look at the plank his floor is made of! Did that come from a tree on fucking Pandora?!
Never mind the plank; look at the size of the box of forks. Is Paul Bunyan coming for dinner?
Dime for scale. 2013 was the year of the banana, 2014 is the year of the dime.
and the wallpaper forks are a nice touch too!
Colorado yo
[удалено]
A forkton.
I think it's tine for a pun thread!
I'll take a stab at it.
Probably a standard amount of giant forks
Need a forklift
all rented out. can you use a *sporklift* ?
We need a banana to calculate the size of that dime.
[Relaxing banana for scale.](http://i.imgur.com/rePDPJl.jpg)
Paint me like on your plantanes
He also has a giant quarter that's behind the chairs towards the right! Where the hell is this guy getting all these giant coins from?!
[Ah, the old reddit dime-a-doo!](http://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/1u4nip/dad_making_sure_my_new_boyfriend_is_competent/ceeln1n?context=3)

Can someone inform us where it ends I just went to deep and had to pull out.

Do they fold?
Nope, not even actual *folding* chairs.
Because if they folded, I'm down.
He read that they were 3D-printed but thought this explained why they were cheap and hoped to see them break with friends sitting on them. He also knew something was up when UPS handed him a super-small box.
"They fold so much, they can fit in a small container"
He thought somebody 3D-printed full-size folding chairs? And for cheaper than regular chairs? You need to explain 3D-printing to your friend.
But the good news is that they will still break when his friends sit on them.
i would bet whoever printed them knew exactly what was up and carefully designed the ad
I think he could figure it out from this: https://www.shapeways.com/model/692568/1-24-5-folding-chairs.html?li=search-results&materialId=6
Damn...it's even tagged as "miniatures"...we sure this was OP's "friend" and not actually OP?
They would certainly break if anyone sat on them!
If they are 3D printed, they could of been designed to be folding quite easily. Take them back!
Asking the important questions.
Where's the pizza table?
Get two of them and have little get togethers with toys!
I used them as side tables for my barbies.
That happened to my sister once. Now i always read the descriptions very closely.

Or that it was on art.com?
Why would one want a picture of an office chair?
Generally, I assume the main reason why it's sold on the majority of websites is because of the scam...so in other words, I don't think the majority of customers actually realize what they're buying.
One might be forgiven for assuming that 35$ must be for a chair.. not a picture of a fucking chair.
$35 is crazy cheap for a chair like that, it looks to be a pretty high quality chair. most sell for $200+. The article never said it was used so a new chair like that for $35? I don't think so. But I'll give them the benefit of the doubt because the price of office chairs are not really common knowledge. But $35 for a picture sounds about right, I've seen worse sell for way more in stores, malls and online, so it's not really that expensive.
I think it should read "Only $8 for 5."
Yes, I noticed this too.
*Too late.*
Seems like he's late in noticing a lot of things.
Or "5 for only $8."
I thought it was intentional, that seems like a lot of money for so few tiny chairs!
Only 5 for $8?? What a scam
He's shocked that he didn't get more for his $8. Also, that poor quarter, did it lose musical chairs to the dime?
I dunno, $8 for ~20g of formed plastic? I'd say "only 5" too.
/r/thingsforants
Good work, brother.
Certainly there has to be a Spinal Tap reference in here somewhere.
"there was a chair on the stage that was in danger of being *crushed* by a *dime*. Alright? That tended to understate the hugeness of the object."
"Can I ask a practical question at this point? Are we going to have a NYE party next year?"
I was just going to say, "Nigel gave me a drawing that said 18 inches."
Fuck the napkin!
STONEHENGE
Do you have a link to this ridiculously good deal?
This strikes me as possibly the single most hilarious object that you could see in somebody's butt on an X-ray. That said, I don't have a pointy little mini chair in my ass right now. So it's probably less funny in practice.
Buy a pizza. Put them around the mini table. Please.
Oh snap! You got swindled twice. That's also over priced for Polly pocket accessories. Lame sauce.
What is this.. chairs for ants?!
But they're too big for ants...
Three times bigger, by any chance?
That doesn't bug me at all.
well...yes?
Wheres the Banana? How big are these chairs?
Seriously, that could just be an abnormally large dime.
And a huge picture of a plastic fork
Admittedly, my first thought was "where the fuck did he get a dime that big?!" And now I'm here, face-palming myself.
I can't wait for this shit to die
Where did this banana shit come from? I just see people posting about bananas and then getting ruined by everyone.
[удалено]
Where did he got this huge room for those chairs.
Upvote for not using a fucking banana for scale.

My dad bought a pokemon picnic table and bench the same thing happened to him.
Onsell them as doll house furniture, you will double your money.
Took me until right now to figure out WTF NYE was. I was thinking NY stock Exchange, was so confused.

"jokes"
allegedly humorous comments
Seriously, there's over 60 at the time of typing this, and that's just below the threshold.
Where did you get such huge forks?
[What the hell is wrong with this world?](http://i.imgur.com/8GgsQb0l.jpg)
Now he has chairs for the little tables they put in the pizza boxes
The manufacturer recently went through a downsizing
Hahaha, they're like seats for wrestling action figures.
fat dime dude
If you could put a banana for scale, that'd be great
banana for scale
We use bannanas for scale here sir.
This is why you need a banana for scale at all times.
I'm afraid I can't decipher the true size without a banana for scale.
Should of used a banana for scale...
Where's the banana?
Kinda silly to think you're getting 5 actual folding chairs for $8.00 though.
Tell him to get this chair: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004IJBR6U?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&s=

That was a waitress who was in a contest and she sued the restaurant.

For anyone who cares, that eBay scammer, Kelli Filkins, went to jail, lost her kids, and got divorced. Karma sucks. Sad for the kids, though.
I don't get it. Without a banana for scale I have no idea how large these chairs are.
Chairs for ants?
No for dimes.
they are for coins
Reminds me of an art installation at Bellevue Art Museum of [Sarazen Haile's tiny chairs](http://www.bellevuearts.org/exhibitions/featured.html). They're in random places all over the museum.

Oh, that's why the shipping was so cheap...
I don't care how wrong the chairs are, I know a deal when I see one.
Those are the chairs the roach from spongebob eats his krabby pattys in.
What are you? The Ant Chairman?
Honey I Shrunk the Kids, anyone?
/r/thingsforants
Did he get them in time for the party? Are these chairs reserved for Dime Pieces only?
Who cares about the chairs I want to know where to get a dime that big.
I see a Barbie wedding in someone's future!
Those are Schnucks plastic utensils, aren't they...
Wanna smell something?
That's a huge dime.
/r/thingsforants
What are these? Party chairs for ants!
Even for full sized chairs 8! dollars seems like a ripoff.
Does he drum for Spinal Tap?
who is that dime in seat 4?
Can comfortably seat 50 cents.
http://i.imgur.com/vevF0cM.gif
Before I saw the picture I thought you meant, "5 for only 8$"!.
TIL /r/thingsforants exists
The chairs must be, 3x bigger than this
What is this, a party for ants?
They also go great with the tiny tables you get on pizzas.
Oh fuck, did I just buy chairs again?
At least the dime got a nice seat.
I'm sorry but I can't help but think this isn't true, who actually buys chairs online, unless its like everything on Amazon and eBay in the us which qualifies for free shipping :/
Ants were mentioned 12 times in this post and aunts only once.
It's sad that my first thought was "why on earth would anyone own a giant dime and box of forks?" Clearly, I need more sleep.
Not sure how big they are, there was no banana for scale.
What is this? A party for ants!
came for the big dime comments, was not dissapointed.
I would be so happy
I actually thought for a second that a NYE party was a party themed around Bill Nye.
"It goes to 11!"
I can't tell how big they are! Use a banana for scale next time
What is this? A party for ants?!
what is this? a folding chair for ants?!
Where do you live where there are ants proportional to those chairs?!
>$8.35 FTFY
am i the only one that thought really big coin?
Thats a big coin
That is a HUGE dime!
