That\u2019s exactly how I first felt when I heard people on the internet were arguing about whether pineapples belong on pizzas. I wasn\u2019t even sure why it was a debate in the first place \u2013 as a girl who grew up absolutely adoring Hawaiian pizza, of course pineapples belong on pizzas.<span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Mind-blowing. That\u2019s how I felt when I casually brought up my point and my friend (who happened to be a contender for the other side) gave me a passionate speech about how out of the ordinary it was that hot fruit and cheese can be placed together so innocently on dough.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Not persuaded, I did a poll on Instagram to get a clearer understanding of where people stand on this hot debate. Out of the 113 people who responded, 74 agreed that pineapples belong on pizzas.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, here\u2019s a more balanced argument.<span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Most supporters of pineapples on pizza would simply say that it tastes good. Personally, I like the balance of the sweet, tanginess of the pineapple paired with the savoury ham, cheese and tomato sauce.<span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, people who disagree would argue that it\u2019s too juicy as a pizza topping. Moreover, an argument is that pineapple and cheese don\u2019t complement each other. I mean, who eats a raw chunk of pineapple with a slice of cheese, right?<span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day, there can be no one clear card consensus. The same way beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, whether or not pineapple belongs on pizza is a personal preference and we get to decide which side of the argument we stand on.<span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Does Mint Ice Cream Taste Like Frozen Toothpaste?<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/hypesingapore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/mint-choc.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Mint chocolate ice-cream in a glass bowl&#8221; title_text=&#8221;mint choc&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.7&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.7&#8243; text_font=&#8221;Montserrat|300|||||||&#8221; min_height=&#8221;43px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-20px|||||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;14px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221;]<p>Image from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seriouseats.com\/recipes\/2015\/06\/best-mint-chocolate-chip-ice-cream-recipe.html\">Serious Eats<\/a>.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.7&#8243; text_font=&#8221;Libre Caslon Text||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;2em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||-1px|||&#8221;]<p>Why do people find the weirdest things to argue over? First it was the debate over \u201cThe Dress\u201d (remember the white and gold or blue and black dress from 2015?), then the controversy over whether pineapple belongs on pizza. And now, whether mint ice cream tastes like toothpaste.<\/p>\n<p>We have Buzzfeed with very strong opinions about <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/samstryker\/mint-chocolate-chip-ice-cream-is-gross\">how mint chocolate chip ice cream is gross<\/a><\/span>, and we have users on Reddit <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/changemyview\/comments\/8vxjs6\/cmv_mint_ice_cream_doesnt_taste_like_toothpaste\/\">strongly advocating for the rights and authenticity of mint ice cream<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, mint is one of my all-time favourite flavours, especially when it\u2019s in ice cream.<\/p>\n<p>So, imagine how offended I felt after I innocently took a bite of my mint chocolate chip ice cream, only to be told off by my friend: \u201cThis one like eating toothpaste, not gross meh?\u201d<span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>First of all, I love ice cream. The creaminess, the respite you get whilst eating it under the hot sun, it\u2019s a force to be reckoned with. Second of all, mint is a very refreshing flavour, soothing to the throat and freshening your breath. Pair them together and isn\u2019t that a dynamic duo? What part of this is gross?<span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>How\u2019s this for a compromise: mint ice cream <em>does\u00a0<\/em>taste like frozen toothpaste, but better \u2013 because whoever said that toothpaste tastes bad?<\/p>\n<p>And there you have it!
