Issy Wong explains why pizzas come in square boxes

Issy Wong can get you wickets and talk about the kind of random things that come up when you're doing nothing on a random Tuesday afternoon, whether it's discussing the existence of aliens or explaining why pizzas need to be delivered in square boxes.

In this rapid-fire interview, Wong, with every answer, proves what a cool friend she would be.

She starts off by picking her favourite cheese, Babybels, which might seem basic, but hey, she's not being a try-hard. Then on the matter of whether there are aliens, she answers, quite sensibly, with a definite yes. "The universe is infinitely big. It's going to keep on until infinity till they find a solar system where there's aliens."

You know she'll be happy to offer you coffee when you drop by since her favourite kitchen appliance is a coffee machine.

She then goes on to explain why round pizzas come in square boxes: "…because they are easier to tessellate when stacking them in the back of a lorry so they don't roll everywhere. There would be empty space between them [if the boxes were circular]." We're already wishing we could ask her to help us assemble some Ikea furniture.

Is cereal a soup? We'd debate her on it, but Wong is on the side of soup-cereal once milk gets into the mix.

What's the most annoying instrument, according to Wong? "The kazoo, when Deano [Charlie Dean] is playing it."

We would like to hang out with Wong, but maybe not go on a road trip with her, given she says she is pretty bad with directions. "I'm always lost and I'm very stubborn when I'm lost as well. I refuse to just turn around and admit that I took a wrong turn, or take a 45-minute detour because I know exactly where we are."

But if we were in The Hunger Games together, it might not be too bad. Wong might have some useful skills there: "I'm quite fast, but I'm not very good at murdering people." That's pretty all right with us!
