In the video, Mr J is seen with so many boxes of pizza and drinks, he explained to his class that everyone gets a slice and a drink for free. But the one-party rule that got the internet divided is that anyone who wants another slice of pizza and a drink will have to pay $2 (£1.48) for pizza and $1 (£0.74) per drink.

'So ladies and gentlemen, as promised, soldier, I got you a piece for y'all. So I have a variety of different options. I got cheese, I got eight boxes of cheese. Bacon and pepperoni was like equally voted. So I got four boxes of each. Alright? Eight boxes of pepperoni. Then I got four boxes of sausage,' he said.

He added, 'First slice is free, the second slice is gonna run you. Any additional slice is gonna run you two dollars. The cash app is back there. No refund.'

Mr J even showed how many students are lining up and joked, 'Look at that. Ha! I was jumping like a crackhouse over here.'

When everyone got a slice, the teacher made it sure and said, 'All my students get a slice? Now I can start making my money.'
