Is It Really Better Than Sex? Cake

It's not, and it's also not notable enough to pass the GNG one way or another. The claims in the article are highly inflated, and as it turns out it's nothing but a Paula Deen-endorsed vehicle designed to kill and maim. Drmies (talk) 21:08, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per substantial coverage in reliable independent sources including coverage on Paula Deen's cooking show. Candleabracadabra (talk) 21:24, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't see any evidence of it. (And being mentioned on Deen's show is not very significant.) Drmies (talk) 02:30, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep. I'm sort of unsure about how to go about notability purposes for food items since most of the time the foodstuffs will be predominantly discussed as flat out recipes. However, I've found several newspapers posting recipes as far back as the 80s, through the 90s, up to current times. I also see where it's mentioned in several, several cookbooks and diet books such as this one. I was going to suggest a merge and redirect to upsidedown cakes, but it appears that many of the recipes don't actually require pineapple specifically and it's not exactly an upsidedown cake in how it's made and served. It's not always turned upsidedown as many recipes call for it to be served inside of the pan, which is pretty much the opposite of "upside down". Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   04:13, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
