The pizza flavor—notoriously a divisive choice—has come front and center in the political sphere and, of course, on Twitter. First there was [a meme circulated online](https://twitter.com/OriginalSDM/status/825516627693277184?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw) meant to stir up the debate; it garnered more than 120,000 retweets since it was posted at the end of January. Then the president of trendsetting nation Iceland, Gudni Thorlacius Johannesson, [jokingly denounced the use of pineapple](http://time.com/4678478/iceland-president-pineapple-pizza/?iid=sr-link1). (He later had to clarify his comments as a joke, as he had [backlash](http://ti.me/2lv2Ygu) over the comical statement.) In [Arizona](https://www.thrillist.com/news/nation/restaurant-refuses-pineapple-pizza-with-note-arizona-campus) this weekend, one pizza maker even went so far as to apparently decline to top a delivery order with the tropical fruit. Disappointed recipient Ali shared the results in a now-viral tweet, after receiving cash back and an apologetic note along with her pineapple-free pizza. > [](https://twitter.com/Try2ShootUsDown/status/838224236040708096) Now the barbs (and jokes) continue to fly. Even Canadian prime minister and [internet darling Justin Trudeau](http://time.com/4687015/young-justin-trudeau/) weighed in. > [](https://twitter.com/breeezybouch/status/838578293464956928) > [](https://twitter.com/JustinTrudeau/status/835225645932216324) > [](https://twitter.com/NHLonNBCSports/status/838782017609302017) > [](https://twitter.com/itsVincent%5F/status/837907912643252224) > [](https://twitter.com/HXRLEEN/status/837447725750845440) > [](https://twitter.com/norm/status/836207597476843520) > [](https://twitter.com/hank%5Fschaab/status/835315030392459265) > [](https://twitter.com/zoerayner99/status/838785092642353156) > [](https://twitter.com/fille%5Fivoirenne/status/838638059168088064) > [](https://twitter.com/untiItoday/status/837781067247546369) A poll in Britain suggests that [53% of those across the pond](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/03/06/majority-brits-like-pineapple-pizza-do-stand-divisive-debate/) are actually in favor of the polarizing topping.
