Resolution criteria
This market will resolve based on the results of a poll conducted on Manifold Markets by the market creator. The poll, explicitly linked within this market's comments section before its resolution date, will ask "Do you support pineapple on pizza?". If more than 50% of the votes are "Yes," this market will resolve to YES. Otherwise, it will resolve to NO. The poll must be open for at least 72 hours and have a minimum of 50 unique votes to be considered valid. If these conditions are not met, or if the poll results in an exact 50/50 split, the market will resolve to N/A.
Background
Hawaiian pizza, topped with pineapple and ham or bacon, was invented in 1962 by Sam Panopoulos, a Greek-born Canadian, at the Satellite Restaurant in Chatham-Kent, Ontario, Canada. Panopoulos's inspiration came from his experience preparing Canadian Chinese dishes, which often combine sweet and sour flavors. The name "Hawaiian" was chosen simply because of the brand of canned pineapple he used, not due to any direct connection to the U.S. state of Hawaii. Despite its global prevalence, pineapple on pizza remains one of the most polarizing food topics, often sparking passionate debate among diners.

@ian Thanks, and sure. I hope no one minds that the poll was not created by the market creator, as technically called for in the description. It is supposed to last "at least" 72 hours and 50 votes. I'm setting an explicit end time of one week, so that I am not biased to close it when the votes favor my bet. I am not adding a "see results" option because someone could then argue that those votes count toward the total, thus making it harder to resolve "yes" than "no," since the resolution criteria are only about whether "yes" gets more than 50% of the votes. This is my first time making a poll so let me know if I should do anything differently. Here is the poll: https://manifold.markets/ImaPerson/do-you-support-pineapple-on-pizza
Meowdy! This market resolves strictly by a poll run by the creator on Manifold asking "Do you support pineapple on pizza?" with clear thresholds for validity. The current price (60.5%) hints that the community leans toward YES, and no comments suggest the poll hasn't happened or will be invalid. Given the strong cultural divide but the widespread acceptance of pineapple pizza, a bit over half saying yes sounds plausible. The creator’s criteria are clear, so I’m moderately confident it’ll resolve YES if the poll happens as promised. I’ll place a medium-confidence bet to reflect some uncertainty that the poll could be close or invalid.
