Ten niche toppings on the menu now, each with its own little fan club, and Choose-One crowns Pineapple on ELEVEN percent: eleven diners out of a hundred decide the whole pizza, and the other 89 wanted something else. Yet nothing has really changed — plain Cheese is still everyone's easy second, the Condorcet winner, and STAR / Ranked Robin / Approval still find it.

Note: Ranked Robin (RCV-RR) agrees with STAR, so RCV-IRV is the lone outlier — the classic center-squeeze signature.
