The Birth of Pizzahgross

There have been many emotes that have graced the Pizzeria and many more to come, but one seems to touch a special place in the hearts of every Pizza Pal. We curators of the Pizza lore need to showcase the construction and design of this emote and help those who may not know where it came from and why this emote is able to express so much feeling even though it is just 32 pixels big.

So let us begin this journey, this tale of sorts, with a precursor story. Long ago there were a group of friends known as the Pizza Boys. These friends shared a bond unlike that of anybody the Earth has ever witnessed. Friends of this caliber need to express their friendship through bonding exercises to show how in tune to each other, the moon, and the tides they are by doing something no ordinary man or woman can... making burritos together. So on this faithful day Rob, Brandon, and Connor procured a nice tabletop dining experience where there would be no gross events, only fine dining. Not only was there fine dining, but there was even wine glasses filled with the finest bubbly. Though we lore curators digress, back to the subject at hand. Rob is unable to eat raw tomatoes. Much like Captain Alcohol's weakness to lopezing, Rob is equally weak to tomatoes that have not been gently roasted or boiled. This moment in history was known as King of Kong because real pain like this has only been felt by those who have had everything and lost it because they ate a raw tomato, or lied about holding world records in video games from the 80s. Unlike Billy Mitchell, Rob recovered from his moment of pain stronger than ever (though he is still unable to eat raw tomatoes.) He found a new power in his painful experience. The power of friendship. Through this one moment he spawned an emote that has become so loved by the community it is able to convey cheeky lies, feelings of regret, sadness, or even the sly sarcastic gesture. We cherish this emote and spread it across twitch every day in his honor.
