President of Iceland wants to ban pineapple on pizza

Have you ever hated something so much, you wanted it banned from your entire country? Guðni Th. Jóhannesson, the president of Iceland, knows how you feel -- but he would actually make it happen.

While visiting a high school in the town of Akureyri, in Northern Iceland, Jóhannesson expressed his views on a pretty controversial topping: pineapple on pizza. He is so against the topping, in fact, that he would ban it from the entire country.

What are some cheap pizzas?

According to local news source Visir, the president took questions from students. He answered questions about various topics like sports -- and then the pineapple question came up.

Not only did Jóhannesson speak against the food, but if he had the power to pass laws on it own, he would ban it.

The president has a 97 percent approval rating in his country ... but will this contentious statement change that?

DiGiorno brand frozen pizzas was quick to respond, expressing their support of pineapple pizza:
