Dab on and prosper 🖖

Some pizza eaters habitually blot each slice with a paper napkin. As the theory goes, the napkin absorbs some of the pizza's oil content, thus decreasing the calories and fat in the slice.

Basing their calculations on a slice from Domino's, the folks over at Labdoor Magazine figured out exactly how much the napkin ritual could save the average American over time, sharing their findings in this neat little infographic below. Turns out if you dab your hand-tossed pepperoni pizza for a whole year, you could theoretically prevent a nearly two-pound weight gain. Check out the specifics of napkin blotting below:
