There’s currently a deal going on at Iceland stores across the country and you could walk away with some free pizza scissors out of it as well.
When you buy two large Chicago Town pizzas from the UK’s frozen foods specialist supermarket, not only do you get to take advantage of the ‘two for £5’ deal that’s currently available, but you also get some free pizza scissors too.
Yes, you heard us, scissors that are specifically designed to cut pizza.
Whilst you can obviously just cut your pizza with normal scissors, an original-style pizza cutter, or maybe even a knife instead, what makes these pizza scissors different is that they come with a measuring triangle on the side to help you cut the perfect slice each time.
They even say ‘pizza’ on the blade too, just in case you needed reminding.
Now, you’re probably reading this and thinking one of two things.
You’re either thinking something along the lines of – ‘wow, that’s a pretty good deal and I definitely need some of those scissors in my life’ – or you’re thinking – ‘who the heck cuts pizza with scissors?’.

Whichever one of those options sprung to mind for you, don’t worry, you won’t be alone in that thought, because what started out as Iceland simply advertising a pizza deal, has ended up causing a bit of a debate online and people just can’t seem to agree on it.
Taking to Twitter to get share details of this new deal and get the public’s two cents on the concept of pizza scissors, Iceland wrote: “It’s time to end the debate…”
“How do you cut your pizza – with a pizza cutter or scissors?”

It's time to end the debate…
How do you cut your pizza – with a pizza cutter or scissors?
If you use scissors, then grab yourself 2 large @chicagotown pizzas and get a pair of special pizza scissors for FREE.
The results of the poll appeared to show that the British public are in far more in favour of using a traditional pizza cutter over a pair of ‘pizza scissors’, but some of the replies were even more interesting.
It turns out there’s a lot more people who cut their pizza with a knife than you probably think.
You can by the Chicago Town ‘two for £5’ pizza deal from Iceland in store, or online here.
It’s advised to always check the opening times of your local Iceland branch before making any trips and you can do so via the store finder here.

Channel 4 is looking for Mancs who think they can survive the apocalypse for a new TV series
Lydia Mastrolonardo
Have you always wanted to see how long you’d last in an apocalypse?
Well now’s your chance, as Apocalypse is potentially coming back to Channel 4 for a second series, with producers having put out a nationwide casting call for contestants willing to take part.
The casting call simply reads: “Do you think you have what it takes to survive the end of the world?”
Described as a dystopian series designed to test the creativity, resourcefulness, and resilience of our nation, Apocalypse sees players are pushed out of their comfort zones and put to the ultimate test.
In the series, ordinary people are tasked with surviving for 28 days in an abandoned city – used previously only for the military to practice urban warfare – with no food, running water, electricity or heat.
Produced by The Garden – which is part of ITV Studios – for Channel 4, the show’s creators are now calling on Mancs and people up and down the country with the ‘courage and ingenuity’ to compete, to get in touch and apply for the potential second series.
Does your mate always bang on after watching a post-apocalyptic film that they would’ve done things differently? Or is the news at the moment freaking you out and you want to give the end of the world a bit of a practice run? Either way, sign up, test that plan you’ve built in your head, and see if you’ve really got what it takes.
Applications are now open, and all you need to do is fill in a short application form and one of the production team will get back to you if they would like to proceed. Come on, let’s prove what Mancs are made of.
Hundreds of katsu curries are being given out for FREE in Manchester this week

Hundreds of katsu curries are being dished up and given out for free in Manchester this week, but only for certain people.
And those lucky people will be students.
That’s right… a new semester is upon us, and thousands of freshers and returning students are descending on the city and Manchester‘s many universities for another year. But the life of a student isn’t exactly the cheapest sometimes, especially for those who haven’t had to live on a budget before moving out or into halls.
But to make things a little easier, Tampopo has announced it’ll be serving hundreds of one of its most popular dishes for free this week.
Tampopo is celebrating National Katsu Curry Day in the most delicious way possible, by giving away 700 Katsu Curries with rice for free, exclusively to freshers and students this Sunday (27 September).
Whether you’re brand new to the city, settling back into uni life, or you’re simply in need of a katsu fix, students can head to their nearest participating Tampopo and tuck into a hearty meal without needing to spend a penny.
100 katsu curries will be available each from 12-2pm at both Tampopo restaurants in Manchester city centre – which are on Albert Square, and in the Corn Exchange – or if you head over to the Trafford Centre, both the Tampopo there and the East Street sites are taking part.
“[Our] Katsu Curry has long been one of our most-loved dishes, so National Katsu Curry Day felt like the perfect excuse to give students a proper welcome to the new academic year,” Tampopo said in a statement.
So, are you feeling hungry then? The offer is exclusively available for takeaway only to freshers and students with a valid student ID, which they must present on collection.
100 portions are available at each participating location, and just one free katsu curry with rice will be available per person.
