Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class:
Special Containment Procedures: MTF Eta-10 ("See No Evil") and MTF Web Crawler Recluse-8 ("Tracker Hackers") are to monitor and regulate network broadcastings of SCP-XXXX such as television or radio broadcastings.
MTF Eta-10 is to check Livingston Times newspapers daily before publishing to replace any SCP-XXXX advertisements used.
SCP-XXXX-1 instances are to be contained in a standard humanoid cell and provided with a reasonable amount of food to ensure mental stability.
Description: SCP-XXXX is the designation for Runnin' Manny's Pizzeria advertisements1 in Livingston, New Jersey. SCP-XXXX instances possess the capability to inculcate advertisement viewers2 into perpetually desiring Runnin' Manny's Pizzeria products.
SCP-XXXX instances frequently manifest in the form of a slowed up-close video of a Runnin' Manny's Pizzeria product with Comic Sans font promoting it and additional contact information.
On 08/30/2022, analysis of SCP-XXXX victims (henceforth referred to as SCP-XXXX-1) revealed that SCP-XXXX-1 do not possess stomachs or large/small intestines. After food is consumed, it will dissipate entirely from the esophagus before it enters the supposed stomach. Furthermore, SCP-XXXX-1 have extreme perpetual hunger and thirst. This is theorized to be caused by the aforementioned lack of digestive system.
SCP-XXXX-1 become increasingly frustrated if not given Runnin' Manny's Pizzeria products within a short duration of time.3 This can cause SCP-XXXX-1 to experience an immensely violent enraged state.
Despite lacking a digestive system, SCP-XXXX-1 do not require any type of food or water to survive. Instead, the inclination to consume Runnin' Manny's Pizzeria products feeds SCP-XXXX-1.

[BEGIN LOG]Dr. Newson: Hello, SCP-XXXX-1. How are you feeling?
SCP-XXXX-1: My name is David. I'm not feeling too hot, doc. I've been absolutely starving so it'd be nice to get some food sometime, y'know?
Dr. Newson: I'm sorry to hear that. What are you craving, exactly?
SCP-XXXX-1: Some of that fine Runnin' Manny's pizza! Anything there, give me it. I saw this ad not too long ago about some kind of "extra garlic & spice'' they have on their garlic twists! Please, doctor. I need it.
Dr. Newson: Well, Runnin' Manny's Pizzeria is out in, what, New Jersey? We're far from that, XXXX-1. And besides, we've been feeding you constantly. What's the issue?
SCP-XXXX-1: Yeah, well I guess I just have a big appetite, don't I? Listen, doc, I'm gonna cut it short and let you know now: I'm not giving you any info about me if you don't serve me that sweet, spicy, delicious, cheesy, pizza. And for the last time, my name is David.
Dr. Newson: Please, XXXX-1, I need a-
SCP-XXXX-1: David. Pizza, or nothing.
Dr. Newson: Fine, "David", please. I need you to cooperate with me or else-
SCP-XXXX-1: Get me the pizza.
7 seconds of silence
Dr. Newson: Very well then.

PoI-035.
Interviewer: Dr. Carl Newson
Interviewee: Manuel Dubois (Poi-035)
Date: 9/04/2022
Location: Runnin' Manny's Pizzeria back office
[BEGIN LOG]
Dr. Newson: Manuel Dubois, correct?
PoI-035: Precisely.
Dr. Newson: Good.
Dr. Newson looks around the office to view the myriad of open Runnin' Manny's Pizzeria boxes scattered across the office.
Dr. Newson: Right. So, you're the owner of all Runnin' Manny's Pizzeria establishments across the United States. Were you, by any chance, aw-
PoI-035: (Opening one of the pizza boxes) What happened to your neck?
Dr. Newson: Oh, yeah. It's just a bite mark from my dog, nothing too bad. Anyways, were you, by any chance, aware of the effects your restaurants' advertisements pose to the public in Livingston?
PoI-035 proceeds to consume the entire pizza and scrape the pepperoni off the bottom of the box to eat.
Dr. Newson: M-Mr. Dubois?
PoI-035: (With pizza in his mouth) Oh, yeah, sorry. Uh, what was your question?
Dr. Newson: Uh, right, so-
PoI-035: (With grease dripping from his mouth) I'm sorry but this pizza is so good. I've been sitting here eating for, I think, like, 3 weeks? I don't know how that's possible but I just can't get up.
Dr. Newson: Mr. Dubo-
PoI-035: (Chewing) I think I have, like, a family to attend to or something. I dunno, they can manage themselves, I think. I have taxes, too. Eh.
Dr. Newson: Mr. Dubois, this specific Runnin' Manny's Pizzeria's advertisements are causing the citizens of Livingston to unhealthily obsess over your product. Were you aware of this?
PoI-035: (Opening a box of cheesy bread) I dunno. Listen, man, I have all the pizza in this world. It's, like, a dream at this point. I get it all from, uh, what's her name? Oh yeah, Susie. She's probably by the grill or something, I don't know. She runs the cooking over here, and I got so many boxes for free. I can't thank her enough.
PoI-035 consumes 3 slices of cheesy bread
PoI-035: Wait, who are you guys again?
Dr. Newson: I think our time here is finished.
