Pineapple belongs on pizza.
Opening6.3
Popular is not the same as good. Plenty of things sell well and still ruin a classic. For example, pineapple releases water in the oven, which turns the crust soggy right where it should be crisp. That is why I stand on this side.Opening7.8
Sweet and salty is the oldest trick in cooking. Pineapple next to ham is the same idea as melon with prosciutto. For example, the acidity cuts through melted cheese, so every bite tastes lighter than a plain slice. Both points lead to the same place.Rebuttal6.4
You keep coming back to "plenty", but that only tells half the story. It is one of the most ordered toppings in many countries. Millions of repeat orders are a pretty strong taste test. My opponent skipped this, which means their case has a hole in the middle.Rebuttal6.0
The point about orders sounds strong until you look closer. Popular is not the same as good. Plenty of things sell well and still ruin a classic. That matters because it is what happens in practice, not just in theory.Closing7.1
Put the pineapple in a fruit salad where it can shine, and let the pizza stay a pizza. Remember, popular is not the same as good. Plenty of things sell well and still ruin a classic. The evidence points one way, and so do I.Closing8.9
Pizza was never a museum piece. It is a flatbread that welcomes whatever tastes good, and pineapple tastes good. Remember, sweet and salty is the oldest trick in cooking. Pineapple next to ham is the same idea as melon with prosciutto. The evidence points one way, and so do I.
