Slice it thin, put in on pizza, and sit back and watch the chaos.

Pineapple on pizza is already good I don’t see how it being pink could make it any better.

The joke is that it will look like things that aren't pineapple and infuriate people.

It’s supposed to be really sweet in comparison to the yellow fleshed pineapples and it costs like $50ish for one alone.

I saw this advertised in my local grocery store’s flyer. $20 CAD. Comes in a fancy box. No way I am spending that much on a pineapple.

u/braydinmiller Jan 22 '22
Pineapples were originally a status symbol because you had to devote an extreme amount if resources to grow one outside of the tropics, and you couldn't ship fruit far back then. So I guess its fitting its a status symbol again lol.

I have pineapples shipped from Hawaii and it works out to about $11+ each. But I won’t pay above that. $11 is worth it, $20 not worth it.

It makes a handy gift, I suppose - an easy way to kiss up to the boss for Christmas.

I work in the hunts point market in the Bronx. It’s the largest wholesale market in the world. We sell them by the case. 6 to a box, for (depending on the supply and demand) between $18 and $56.
Just saying.2
u/eternally_feral Jan 23 '22
Location definitely makes sense. My grocer had it for $50 sometime last year but I don’t like pineapple. I was kinda wanting to taste it but I leave that up to ppl with money to describe for me.

I got one at my local shop for $5 and it tasted similar to a pink grapefruit ans was cloying as fuck.

The yellow pineapples are already super sweet though? I can’t imagine wanting it sweeter

This is real. Recently approved, they're modified to be sweeter.

These have been around a long time and they are really good they just used to be crazy expensive

u/Spite-Funny Jan 22 '22
I think they still are, depending how crazy expensive you mean. The one I saw at my local grocery was $29.

They taste amazing, recently got one for $15USD, pricey as hell but maybe they’ll come down eventually.

u/Epitaphi Jan 23 '22
Alright so I like buying weird fruit occasionally, to try new things and treat myself. I did end up buying one of these suckers for $30 and while it was tasty, it certainly wasn't worth that price tag.
It also wasn't radically different than a normal pineapple but this could be attributed to being in Canada and not getting fresh anything. I think I bought Witches Fingers (neat long grapes) at the same time and those were amazing.

But, your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.

u/briandesigns Jan 23 '22
i like the taste of the pinkglow and the texture is more refined than a regular pineapple(more soft with less fibers) but not at all worth the 3X price difference(originally 10X). Regular pineapples are already delicious and dirt cheap

It’s a variety of pineapple with pink flesh rather than yellow flesh

I heard the same thing, but googled it and you can actually buy seeds and plants to grow your own.

It’s called pinefruit. It’s native to South America and tastes like sour pineapple. I made this up fuck you.

I've tried it. It's really expensive (I didn't buy it) and not really any different than normal pineapple.

OP, did you find it in a store? I've had a couple of these, one at the $50 price point when they first debuted, and one at the $15 price point when they showed up in a random store. I'm always interested to know where it shows up.
I do plant biotech outreach and this is an interesting example of genetic engineering, in this case to have the pineapple accumulate lycopene, the same reddish compound found in tomatoes and watermelon. They used an already-sweeter and lower-acid variety of pineapples called the Sun Glow, so it will often taste sweeter than your average pineapple in the store. I tested the brix (roughly, sugar %) and it was a little bit higher than a store-bought fruit.
But yeah, the price is way too high for the general public, but production just started so the quality will be low. If it has staying power, they may grow more and you'll see it cheaper and in more stores.

Buy one then plant the crown/ top part. See if it give a same color pineapple or a regular colored one

One of the earliest examples of "dumb urban legend on the internet" i can remember fruit like bananas and pineapples cut in half that had a pink centre.
The caption was "Bio Terrorists injecting AIDS infected blood into fruit, beware".
Now the dumb urban legends are just bigger in scale.
