Via Reddit: President of Iceland announces that he would ban pineapple as a pizza topping
The president of Iceland, Guðni Th. Jóhannesson, threw a political bombshell into one of the national conversation today when he took sides in one of the more contentious debates of our times: The "pineapple as a pizza topping" debate.
Guðni answered questions about various personal things, including which team he rooted for in the English premiere league (which turned out to be Manchester United). He was then asked about his opinion about pineapples as a pizza topping. Guðni answered that he was fundamentally opposed to putting pineapple on top of a pizza.
Then he went one step further, announcing that he would pass a ban on pineapple as a pizza topping if he had the power to pass laws on his own.

All he has to do is mention it in a speech and it will automatically be deplorable and shunned. The great pineapple pizza ban. Just drop a reference in passing; doesn't have to be positive or negative. Just mention it. Immediately everyone on TV will be opposed to it, automatically, or at least highly suspicious. Just the sort of thing that Trump would like: pineapple on pizza. Deplorable! Morons will mobilize and march. Boycotts will be instituted. Photos of pineapple with golden combover photoshopped hairdo giving a speech will suddenly appear in the Facebook feed. Discussions about cultural appropriation and how white folks ruin everything (make it okay for everyone else to secretly enjoy it) will proliferate.
Short answer: NO!
I agree. Pineapple has no business being on a pizza. I realize that pizza has evolved into the various ingredient concoctions that make it great for a lot of people, but give me cheese, pepperoni or a cheese, pepperoni, black olives, mushrooms, and bacon any time.
Then don't order pineapple on pizza!
Why not?
Only a Lefty would want pineapple on pizza.
Sacrilege
Pineapple on pizza is an infamnia.
But if you want to live like a mook and do that, go ahead.
Pineapple's great on a pizza. Sweet plus salty.
I fully expect to be Milo'ed* for saying that. Bring it, bitches.
*Only fully mature pineapples for me though.
It's delicious. You don't have to admit that in public or in writing ... but you know it is. Hawaiian pizza > Iceland pizza.
Then don't order pineapple on pizza!
Pineapple on a pizza is an abomination.
I hate it when I'm in a group of people who are ordering pizza and they get pineapple. I don't have a say, because it is a group and I'm outnumbered. And there is no point in whining about it. So. I don't eat pizza that night.
Either don't eat or I just scrape off the toppings into the garbage and eat the crust. I'd almost rather starve than eat a soggy disgusting pineapple pizza. And...I really like pineapple otherwise.
Except it's not Hawaiian, it's Canadian. CANADIAN! What's next poutine pizza? Genuine Hawaiian Pizza should have bits of long pig and Poi on it.
sauerkraut pizza?
A slice only Pollo would love.
Years ago, behind the port authority in Manhattan, there were a couple of places selling a slice for one dollar.
I wander if they still there?
The worst thing about this story is that it ruins my illusion that Iceland is this wonderfully out of the way far north place where everybody hunkers down for eight months of the year eating a diet limited to cod and reindeer and then everybody goes crazy in midsommervarka and mates with woodland fairies. No. They've got pizzerias. PIZZERIAS! It's the end days.
This debate is ended.
No. Banning consumer choices is a Bernie dick move.
If you put pineapple on a pizza.....it is just not a pizza. It is something else.
There are lots of examples of this so it is no big deal. Stupid people think stupid things.
If you make a hamburger out of vegetables it is not a hamburger.
If you make bacon out of a turkey it is not bacon.
If you make a gay marriage it is not a marriage.
If you put a dress on a dude he is not a girl.
It is really simple. I don't understand why people don't get it.
Stupid people think stupid things.
There is a joint on 39th that sells two slices and a soda for five bucks. That is about as good as it gets in Manhattan these days.
They have lines spilling out on the street.
When I was a kid in 1964 two slices and a soda was twenty five cents.
I keep watching this show Timeless and wishing I had a time machine.
Now if you want to put pineapple on your pizza that's just fine with. If you want you boyfriend to put his dick in your ass that's fine too.
Just don't expect me cook that pizza for you or bake you a cake. Do your own thing and leave the rest of us alone.
"I keep watching this show Timeless and wishing I had a time machine."
You're not alone in that wish.
Pineapple is really good.
My next pizza will have pineapple on it.
Let's find out.
My wife the RN notes that considerations of taste/tradition aside, pineapple prevents the absorption of many medications, so people taking meds might want to re-think no matter what their taste buds say..
