I have 2 questions:

Who is that smoking hot redhead in the Zyrtec “bicycle” commercial?, she has that rare “cute as a speckled puppy and hotter than a $2.00 pistol” look.

I had french bread pizza a minute ago (it Nukes, give me a break), when you eat one do you start at the “rounded” end or the “cut” end?

I cut my my pizza into bite size pieces with a butcher knife, because how else can you eat hard french bread pizza.

Cut end. And I have no clue about Allergic Bicycle Girl.

I always start at the rounded end. Take care of the crusty part with the least toppings on it first, you see, and your final bite is sure to be loaded with yummy sauce and cheese. The same principle applies with most sandwiches (edges first) and pie (outside crust first).

The real reason I answered this, though, is to subscribe to this thread in case anyone pops up with the ID of the redhead, for I too want to know.

Always the cut end. The round end represents the crust end of normal pizza to me.

The cut end. It’s entirely possible that I won’t be able to eat the whole thing. Well, actually, I don’t eat frozen pizza, French bread or otherwise, any longer, but I do eat Italian Subs, which are also full of goodness and are similarly shaped.

The round end first. To make it worse, if I have two halves I eat both round ends before finishing the first piece. I know, I’m going to hell.

[Megan Paul](http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0666922/) did the other Zyrtec commerical (with the little dog). There are two pictures of her there, one with dark hair and one as a redhead but I can’t tell if it’s her again.

I always start at the rounded end.

Oh…pizza. Cut end.

I, too, joined to learn the identity of this mystery woman. Few things in this world are more beautiful than a truley attractive redhead. I dont see enough of her, but it looks like it could be Bryce Dallas Howard. Google her for her images and youll see some pics.  
I eat it from the cut end. Does anyone seriously eat it any other way?

I think Im going to go google her again

Cut end. The round end fits the hand better. Am I the only person that gets really sleepy on Zyrtec? It deals with my allergies quite well, but I’m a zombie when I take it.

I’ve been taking Zyrtec daily for more than a year. No sleepiness whatsoever.

Eat from the cut end on the French bread pizza.

I’m with you 100% on all counts. I eat my burgers in diminishing concentric circles.

Zyrtec. Ugh. Zombie is definitely the right term to use. I only take it if absolutely necessary and then I end up regretting it anyways.  
Pizza, cut end.

Can we start a club or something? I thought I was the only one, and I’m tired of hearing about it. I love you guys.

You say that as if there’s some other way to eat them. 😕

French bread pizza - if I’m actually going to eat the whole thing, round end first. If I’m not sure, cut end first, that way if I leave any bread I’m not wasting too much topping. (Actually I don’t eat them at all any more, but that’s how I used to do it.)

It can make you a little sleepy, which is why I take it at night right before bed.

I always cut my French bread pizza into smaller pieces, then eat them. But if that’s not possible, the cut end.

From the links provided, it look like Megan Paul to me, though nobody else on the net seems to think so. (A Google image search for _Megan Paul Zyrtec_ only returns pics of her as a brunette.
