America stands alone. They know what they did.

The fuck we do, you seen how shit our public schools are? The events I was never taught about American history, but should've been, could constitute its own college course. And they're only getting worse!

That's the last sign you get from Burger Lord, you puny pineapple-pizza loving infidels! Stop your acid ways or be burned in celestial oven forever!!! Tomato is the most acidic thing that might be put on pizza!!!

I dislike the term "invented" in contexts like this. Surely it's more accurate to say some Canadian guy popularized pineapple on pizza. I just really doubt that no one on earth ever put pineapple on a pizza before 1962.

Even the Wikipedia article goes on to say

In 1957, a "Hawaiian Pizza" containing pineapple, papaya, and chopped green pepper, but not ham or bacon, appeared in Portland, Oregon.[12][13]

I don't get why everyone is so obsessed with pineapple on pizza. I like it, not enough to order it but still.

The italians look down on us for putting garlic in the sauce by the way, they are disgusted and chagrined at it.

The thing is, garlic in processed food and pizza joints is added to disguise low quality ingredients, same reason they load the holy trinity of fat salt and sugar into everything. So the I-tie's are not wrong. They know food you have to give them that.

I think you shouldn't discount the immense amount of cultural pride that many people put in their region's cuisine -- not even just national pride, even, as many groups will look down on each other despite being from the same country and eating the same foods just because they see the other as preparing it "the wrong way".

Sure, but this isn't just national pride, they are right. Garlic and oinion powder are added to all sorts of products they didn't used to be in, because they cheaped out on the other ingredients. Read all your labels, you will see what I'm talking about. It was not this way until relatively recently.
