They always manage to stab you when you carry home, no matter where in the bag you put them.


You waste loads, only 10% of the fuckers are officially edible.

They are messy.

You end up eating half of it before you finished chopping it up, on account they are gorgeous little bastards, so you never officially have enough, then get pineapple consumption guilt.

Pineapples, total fuckers.

Pineapples = fuckers {sub-text :- even some of the pre-prepared chunks)

Nasty, woody little bastards in the pots from Tesco, about 2 naice juicy sweet chunks, the rest like stringy wooden cubes that stick between your teeth and need floss to dislodge. Must be the reason Tesco is doing badly at the moment

Waitrose = juicy sweet pineapple = supermarket doing vaaar naicely.

Perhaps what you kids don't know is that the pineapple is the symbol of Friendship and the King of all fruits!

Pineapple slows digestion and is exceptionally good for weight loss.

Pineapples are a good source of Vitamin C (so you can stick your oranges that make me ill)!

Pineapples also contain Bromelain - an enzyme that eases pain for arthritis sufferers and because they are also full of calcium and phosphorus they strengthen your bones too!

Some say pineapple can bring on labour.

Nevermind carrots - there's something in pineapple (beta carotene) that keeps your eyesight healthy.

Pineapples keep your gums healthy too.

Carribean males would run barefoot through pineapple plantations as a rite of manhood. I've cycled through one and that was tough enough!! Pineapple bugs are so hard and so jumpy they're like bullets. If any man survived running through the field he's more than manly enough to take on a good woman!

Lay off the pineapple ladies - they're more than tough enough to fight back!!

Ok, I love pineapple, fresh and tinned, and I want one of those thingummys.

But Mangos always feel like I am throwing away half the fruit what with the massive stone and all the flesh that sticks to it. And I have yet to actually eat a pomegranate. There is no fruit, only seeds! What the....? I tried it with my kids and we all ended up sucking a speck of juice off the seeds and then spitting them out as they were so vile if you crunched them. I have a friend who eats a pomegranate every evening. HOW? I don't get it.

One more pet peeve with fruit, peaches/nectarines when you cut round and you are supposed to twist it to spit it in half, but the skin comes away from the flesh and the flesh won't come away from the stone so you end up with a pulpy mess in your hand with a stone still in it. Is it just me?

Pineapples are the greatest fruit. Tinned or fresh I don't care...I just can't get enough.

Look at it from the pineapple's point of view.

If your only two choices in life were consumption or rotting, wouldn't you be pissed off enough to want to take it out on somebody?
