For me I say that a truck with a cab longer than its bed is not a truck, but an SUV with an overgrown bumper.

This is more of a meta thing, but relevant to a lot of comments I'm seeing here. Having an opinion about pineapple on pizza is the most uninteresting cultural phenomenon. I've spent the last 4 years on dating apps, and at least 1 in 3 people write in their bio about this "issue". It's not something that people truly have strong feelings about, it's like straight men saying Ryan Reynolds is attractive, or people arguing over the definition of a sandwich. It's an opinion that people hold as a proxy for being somebody with strong opinions.

Pineapple on pizza is kinda like a lot of people suddenly having issues with the existence of trans people.

There's just no need to have such strong, negative opinions about something that doesn't actually affect them in any realistic way.

Pizza is cake. Quiche is cake.

I would say they are pies. Are you saying pies are also cakes, or that cakes are a type of pie?

I’ve had breakfast pizza with egg on it, does that count?

It's a way overused meme by this point. I do find it to be more common online and in the states than anywhere else though. That's the feeling I get at least.

Never encountered it in real life as far as I know. Sure, someone might not like pineapple on their pizza, but they haven't gotten all ranty about it though.

For what it's worth, it can be pretty nice. Especially on a spicier pizza with a bunch of chili and stuff on it to complement the sweetness.
