I believe there are legal reasons why you shouldn’t let people eat food out of your trash. Liability etc.
Yeah true, but if it's just say, donuts that didn't sell that day why throw them away at all just because they'll be stale tomorrow? Or the last batch of fries at a fast food place?
I can't even deal with the thought of not immediately bagging that shit up and taking it straight to the homeless shelter downtown.

Honestly my main hesitation is that it's someone else's and I wouldn't want to steal in case they came back for it.

The real problem is this is just an urban myth and in the entire US there are laws protecting the businesses and would allow them to donate all the expired/trash food.

Even if there was something against food, it doesn't explain the colossal waste of product in general. I know there's business who make it a thing to actively destroy whatever non-food product they put into their dumpsters, whether it's still good or not.

Ya it all comes back around to that whole myth and liability worry, what's funny is you can convince a lot of businesses ( depending how chain/corporation they are tho) to go the donation way because it saves them money to boot.
I scavenged stranger's leftovers in college fairly regularly for a bit there. That's like, a half eaten thing of fries in the student union, not pizza on the sidewalk, but it's close.
Oh also I once found a Dasani water bottle full of red liquid and I drank the whole thing.
That was alien juice
Like, are we talking about juice made BY an alien, juice made FROM an alien, or juice that turns you INTO an alien?
man it turns out you can get an absolute ton of food at McDonald's for ten pounds. I bought two hot chocolates, a double cheeseburger, a large fries and a cookie for 8.50 and that's only because I forgot to buy an apple pie too
I wish I could say no, but I have been known to have really poor judgment when it comes to eating found food and also have a problem with eating things as a challenge when I'm drinking. Notably, after being gone all weekend in college, I came back and found a completely uneaten quesadilla on the kitchen counter and I can no longer recall my line of thinking that it was ok to eat this quesadilla but I did it. That night around 4am I got violently sick in a manner I've not repeated in the 13 years since. It had been sitting out on the counter all weekend, according to my roommates. So yeah, odds are nonzero I'd eat that pizza.

this post is not applicable for this thread unless you throw that all on the ground and then eat it

Or is it just some boring-ass branding, like the Monster energy drink fiasco?

nah
My plan for dinner is a Digiorno pizza that I bought just because it has cheese in the crust. I say no to sidewalk pizza, but I acknowledge that I am in no position to judge.
Guys, I've eaten pizza out of a goddamn bin because it was left over from some other kids' pizza party lunch.
Yeah, I would eat sidewalk pizza if it looked clean and removed from the ground by its box.
And no ants.
Or perhaps I pick the ants off?
Have to only be a few ants tho.
My friends and I would always hang back after Phillies and Sixers games and then walk the stands and pick up the "floor food." Fries, popcorn, uneaten chicken fingers and such. People are really wasteful and it was a good way to make up for the fact that we spent money we needed for food on sports tickets.
Edit: also yes I've eaten streetza and suffered no consequences. You gotta take what little gifts life gives you.

There's a whole student club that does that very thing where I went to uni. Here's a news article about it.

I could never just throw out perfectly good food that just didn't sell. It's such an inhumane waste. It goes against every moral fiber I have.
wait, as in
pizza go home you're drunk?

But most don't, because of this exact belief.
That’s good to know, thanks!

THAT pizza? Not unless I was super hungry and there were a lack of other options

All of those!

I have told the tale of my brother and his friend to drunk to realize they ordered a pizza and someone reaching their breaking point
With them you know what you're getting into
But a sidewalk pizza? There could be bugs in it!
Not to mention it's from Little Caesars!

It’s all psychological, but Gat Damn, I just wanna eat like who gives a fuck today.
