My favorite pizza is pineapple, banana peppers (not jalapenos, which are delicious but too spicy to balance), and bacon. Read more

In Trinindad, when I went there to visit family in my youth we always got pineapple pizza. It was considered very popular over there and I loved it but yes it’s better with pepper on it as well!  Read more

Good, roasted pineapple on pizza accompanied by a salty meat of your choice on pizza is most delicious. I will not eat pizza with green bell pepper on it. Ever. Read more

Way back in the day Round Table did an ultimate hawaiiaan that had canadian bacon, pineapple, bacon and mandarin oranges that rocked. The anti-pineapple on pizza crowd is just the same as the epic bacon chodes online in that they suck and should be ignored.  Read more

I’ll give it a try.  I do love the flavor of pineapple, just not enough to put up with the mouth pain afterward. Read more

this the ONLY time I will put pineapple on pizza is paired with jalapeno the sweet and heat is delightful. Read more

Pineapple, pepperoni and jalapeno is money.  Also, apple, bacon and cheddar cheese, finish the pie with a little drizzle of maple syrup.   Read more

My brother introduced me to the excellent combo of pineapple and Canadian bacon pizza with pickled jalapenos and white sauce swapped for the red sauce. It really, really works. Read more

And while she’s not sure where this cold beer myth got started (no one is, though there are some fun anecdotes in a Twitter thread about this), she can definitively declare it bunk. Read more

So many people would come in, look at our coolers, ask if we had anything stored warm, and whine when we didn’t. I’d try to explain pretty much exactly like it says here, but it rarely helped.

I worked at a beer distributor *mumblecough* years ago, and every evening we’d load the case beer trucks — the ones with the rows upon rows of bay doors — at the end of the day and just let the beer sit overnight because it was more important to just be able to jump into the truck and go in the mornings without Read more

You should be able to find the canning date on one of the cans if you’re buying a craft brew - good way to avoid old beers if you’ve had an issue with it. Personally get my beers at a local shop that constantly refreshes their shelves so don’t check as I rarely, if ever, run into the issue. Read more

Coors used to have Mark Harmon ads about how it was brewed cold, shipped cold, etc, and that’s what set it apart from other beers. Read more
