http://curdistan-wisconsin.blogspot.com/2008/12/pizza-by-slice.html
Two expatriate New Yorkers explore life in Wisconsin. Pizza by the Slice. To a New Yorker, the phrase "by the slice" after "pizza" is entirely redundant. It's not only the standard unit of sale, it's a well-documented economic indicator of when the price of a token. Is about to go up. Wisconsin however has barely heard of the concept.
