How decisive were these results?
Seven face-offs this week, which means seven chances to see who has actual opinions and who’s basically flipping a coin.
TL;DR: Pickles was the most one-sided fight in the building — Dill demolished Bread & Butter 34–9 (79%), just barely out-landsliding Pizza Style’s New York (35–10). The most genuine toss-up was Orange Juice: Pulp over No Pulp, 27–22 (p = 0.57) — statistically indistinguishable from a coin flip.

Do New York pizza people also love a dill pickle?
Both are tangy, no-nonsense, East Coast-coded choices. Let’s see how much the crowds could overlap.
Of the 43 overlapping voters, somewhere between 24 and 34 (56%–79%) are Team New York and Team Dill, versus about 26 (61%) expected if the two tastes were unrelated. Both options win so convincingly on their own that the “tangy and no-nonsense” coalition is large no matter how the overlap actually shakes out.
