You need only to Google "pineapple pizza" to know the internet loves itself a good (if not: dumb, hilarious) food fight. The latest debate tearing friends, families, and lovers apart?

Pulp vs. no-pulp.

Our personal opinion? Pulp's delicious. It's juice, and then some. But we're just the documentarian, not the dictator, so here's what those online have to say/scream about it:

Meanwhile, pulp-haters decried pulp as "bitter." Some acknowledged, though, that orange juice without pulp is less "orange juice" and more "orange-flavored juice."

Friends, never underestimate the internet's ability to get mad about food and beverages. Is it a blessing? Is it a curse? No idea, but it sure makes the cesspool of Twitter a little more fun.
