BREAKING: Supreme Court Rules “Pineapple on Pizza is Unconstitutional” – Fake News Exposed!

🚨 THE CLAIM: A widely shared post on X claims the Supreme Court has issued a landmark 6-3 decision declaring pineapple on pizza a “violation of the 8th Amendment” (cruel and unusual punishment). The post includes a fabricated quote from Chief Justice Roberts calling it “a culinary affront to the dignity of the republic.”

📸 THE VIRAL IMAGE: A fake screenshot of a SCOTUS.gov press release, complete with a fictional case title: Italy v. Hawaii (2025).

🔍 THE TRUTH:

• REAL: The Supreme Court has not taken up any case regarding pizza toppings.
• FAKE: There is no such ruling. The official SCOTUS docket shows no pending or decided cases related to food.
• ORIGIN: The hoax appears to be a satire piece from a known parody account, which was cropped and stripped of its “Satire” tag before being shared as fact.
• WARNING: This is a classic example of “context amputation.” The original post was clearly labeled as humor, but reshared without context causes confusion.

💡 VERDICT: 🚫 FAKE. Enjoy your pineapple pizza (or not) without fear of federal prosecution. Always check the official Supreme Court website for real rulings, and be wary of food-related “law” going viral.
