Have mine sitting in a dish on my desk right in front of me. It’s what I use to pop off our Arlo doorbell to bring inside to charge it back up when the batteries are low.
Mine are all still in their boxes which I still save for no reason as I never ever will use them. Whenever I need a pin, I can’t find a single box, but the boxes are always in the way when I try to find something else. It’s a weird world we live in.
I used to keep one on my keys back when I worked at a carrier store selling phones. Made life so much easier then.
In fact, the actual inserted part broke off years ago (and I haven’t done phone sales in over a decade), but the main part of the body is actually still attached to my keyring. I haven’t even thought about that until this post, actually.
The dude who sold me my latest smartphone this year had one long fingernail. I kinda thought it was a coke nail until he applied my screen protector and used the nail to separate the plastic backing from it. Aha!
I studied classical guitar in high school and since I could never keep my real fingernails intact I always had three plastic nails going on my right hand. That was a tough one to explain to the local bullies.
I dislike pineapple on pizza because most places always do such an awful job. You either get pineapple chunks that are still partially frozen and waterlogs the pie, or you get desiccated husks of fiber. Any salty/sweet combo advantage is totally lost.
¯_(ツ)_/¯ My roommate and I order from a new-to-us pizza joint every other month or so and he frequently orders a pie with pineapple. I can count on one hand the number of places that actually had a delicious pie with pineapple.
Maybe my standards are too high, but you knights of pineapple can enjoy whatever you want.
I grew up in a household where I was taught when cooking salty sweet dishes, you should add just enough sugar to the dish so that it tastes different but you can’t tell why. Otherwise you’ve added too much sugar.
You can definitely taste the sweet in Pineapple pizza…
In some savory dishes like tomato sauce for example you add a little bit of sugar to reduce bitterness and just make the flavors more balanced. Also, most anything tastes better if you add just a little bit of salt in at some point of the cooking process.
Doesn’t mean I’m going to sprinkle sea salt on top of my pecan pie though…
Meanwhile you miss out on the glory that is Poutine, most Maple desserts, Tortiere, Butter Tarts, Back Bacon (AKA Canadian Bacon), California Rolls (yes I know, but they are Canadian actually), Nanaimo Bars, Caesars,PEANUT BUTTER (No, it wasn’t George Washington Carver, he made a type of peanut butter after it was already invented), Chinese Buffets, and Coffee Crisps.
If you ever bought eggs in an egg carton or cooked with canola oil you’ve been a closet Canadian all along. Ok you may continue with the pearl clutching now
Especially since the origin of pizza is just throw the cheapest left overs on some bread when your broke. taste played a very minor role with the reason it came into existence. So why privileged assholes have to gatekeep a peasant’s solution against starvation over preferential taste is just cringeworthy classism at best.
Bruh, I think you’re thinking too deep into this. Some people don’t like the flavor profile of pineapple. It likely started as a teasing joke to their friends when they were young and didn’t know comedy:
“Eeeewwww pineapple on pizza?! Gross! 😂”
And then the joke just kinda blew up from there because enough people agreed on it.
Then you become an adult and realize people just genuinely like different things. I hate pineapple in general, so I don’t get it on my pizza. My husband loves Hawaiian pizza.
I love anchovies, and he can’t stand them. He says the “juice” affects the rest of the pizza even when I only get it on my half.
We order 2 different pizzas and everyone is happy.
I don’t think either of us (or anyone who still pretends to be shocked that pineapple on pizza is a thing) is “gatekeeping pizza” or shaming poor people from tryna eat whatever they have. It is legit on the same level as. “OMG you use APPLE?!?!? I COULD NEVER!”.
The buzz around it grew when I was seeing a lot of pizza party’s which always ended up with 3 flavours being brought. Margherita, Pepperoni and Hawaiian. So I’ve always associated the movement being some secret groups’ lifeprotip to order Hawaiian do they can eat a bunch of pizza and it’s divisive. If your ordering for yourself go nuts. If your ordering for a group, there are plenty of more on-averagr enjoyable options
Same, I’ll unpack any electrical item and keep all the packaging including the wire tiers on cords, plastic bags with the tape carefully folded back and pack all of that back up in the box and storage the empty box in my garage incase. I then use the item until it breaks and then 6 years later see the box on a shelf while walking passed, realise I no longer own said item and throw the box away.
