Good morning. Food cravings when you're pregnant are very real. This is probably why this pizza order has resonated so well:
'One large pizza with triple pepperoni, extra cheese, banana peppers, light jalapeños, half chicken, half mushrooms, half caramelised onions, half olives and light sauce.'
However, the follow-up comment is what has made this order so good: "Bro, yes, I know this looks insane, I’m the dude who has a very pregnant wife. I’m done questioning what she wants. I’m scared of her and honestly you should be, too. I promise this is the order. Thank you and godspeed."
You can't knock him for trying.
