Should pineapple be a pizza topping is an age-old question of humanity. World of Warcraft finally provides a clear answer.
Among gamers of World of Warcraft there are plenty of conflicts. Alliance or Horde? Mythic+ or Raids? PvP or PvE? But one question unites all gamers worldwide and is culinary in nature: Does pineapple belong on pizza?
For years, the question has been a template for countless memes on the internet. While some considered pineapple pizza to be “pretty sick,” for many others it was a glorious combination of fruity flavor and savory cheese topping.
A topic that one might think is rather unimportant for World of Warcraft, right?
The developers of World of Warcraft seemed to have viewed this differently and apparently also chose a side. This is likely to hit all supporters of Hawaiian pizza hard.
Because the pineapple pizza is a consumable item in Battle for Azeroth that (presumably) cooks can craft.
Most cooking recipes count as “Buffood,” restoring health points and mana when consumed, and granting a buff spell for one hour. Not so with the pineapple pizza. Its description reads differently:
“Pineapple Pizza: Does not restore health and reduces stamina by 5% for 30 seconds.” And along with the description as flavor text “Simply terrible.” Thus, the pineapple pizza is likely the first “Buffood” that debuffs the player.
Which side of the pizza are you on? And what do you think about WoW incorporating such gags from the real world? Does it disrupt your immersion, or is it good for a little laugh?
Yesterday we wondered what a world without World of Warcraft would look like.
