Swimsuit Model Dips Pizza in Soy Sauce, Internet is Cool With It

As everyone knows, the primary reason the Internet was created was so people could have a public forum in which to settle food debates.

Thus far, people have used it to argue about pressing issues such as if ketchup belongs on a hot dog and whether a hot dog is a sandwich – and society is all the better for it.

Now, courtesy of two-time SI Swimsuit model and pro tennis player Genie Bouchard, the web got a tasty new culinary conundrum to sink its teeth into: Does soy sauce belong on pizza?

Bouchard cooked up the argument by posting a tweet earlier this week:

Pizza dipped in soy sauce. I’m telling you. pic.twitter.com/buykTO7LmO

Obviously, big soy sauce backed Bouchard’s move in a big way:

This is seriously the most excited you have made a soy sauce in the history of soy sauce. Thank you for this moment (and we’ve had 300 years of moments).

The rest of the interwebs … well, they were surprisingly cool (and weird) about it:

@geniebouchard Try sweet soy sauce brand ABC product of Indonesia, you will forget that you can play tennis

I enjoy soy sauce on cottage cheese. Weird?

I will never understand the concept of a 2nd sauce on a pizza. Genie Bouchard putting soy sauce on pizza is not disgusting but is not necessary at all.

South of the border pizza places have tons of sauces at the tables: soy sauce, Worcestershire, ketchup, mayo, hot sauce…I support soy sauce pizza dipping!

My dad also likes soy sauce on his toast, pancakes and bagel.

After all the crust was settled, Kikkoman’s CEO put his mouth where Bouchard’s tweet was and tried the controversial condiment choice for himself:

Ignore the doubters. We tested this out and came to the conclusion that you are right (and also that you are indeed our spirit animal) pic.twitter.com/InVR29rWRq

And finally got a little pushback …
