I don’t speak German and even if I did I wouldn’t know what is going on as to why there is so many posts in German referencing pizza. Anyone in Germany care to clue me in?

It started because some germans pizza day got cancelled, but I think the real motivation is a subtle dunk on some earlier meme rotation from americans about corporations trying to placate employees with pizza.

In a nutshell, americans: we don't want pizza, we want unions and worker's rights! Germans: we already have unions and worker's rights, we want pizza!

Even if I didn't had unions and worker's rights, I'd still want pizza. How could one not want pizza?
