Tweet Meant to Shame People into Ditching Pizza Backfires Spectacularly

Pizza is humankind’s greatest treasure, bar none. And regardless of what anyone says about pizza, people are still going to eat it and love it. A Nigerian health blog learned that the hard way last week when they tried to turn people off to eating pizza with this tweet:

Two slices of pizza are the equivalent to swallowing 3 spoons of warm oil. Do you feel like eating pizza now? pic.twitter.com/MXBl9lFIYv

First of all: As we previously mentioned, dissing pizza is a gigantic mistake. Second of all: Dissing pizza using a photo of two delicious slices of pizza is an even more gigantic mistake. If anything, this tweet has us craving pizza. The Internet agreed:

Yep https://t.co/r3iL4fFWRk

@naijagym it could be the equivalent to a shipping container of oil and I still wouldn’t even hesitate.
