What's with all the pineapple stuff all of a sudden?

I'm seeing an awful lot of clothes, home decor, and just random things that have pineapples printed on them. It's become especially noticeable in the last few months, and I don't get it. Are that many people decorating their homes with a pineapple theme? Is there some show or movie that sparked this?

I guess I haven't spent enough time in clothing or home decor stores to notice

We've been going to hobby lobby and stores like that a lot to make stuff for the wedding, and I started noticing it there. Then I saw pillows with the patio furniture at Lowes with pineapples too, then we started seeing clothes at Target with pineapples... once you notice it, it seems to be everywhere

I wonder if it's an attempt to add a tropical vibe to a boring life. Just seems weird

Any good deal on Iraqi artifacts there?

They use to have bananas and pears but now they use pineapple as a pattern since it can't easily be used as a sex toy for the sinners.

This is a thing.

I guess because it conjures images and feelings of summer.

The example that stands out to me is a Supercuts store I drive by that is displaying a banner that says something like "Fresh cuts all summer" and includes an image of a pineapple.

It's summer. When you see a pineapple, you think of having a piña colada. When you think about sipping on an ice cold piña colada, you think of kicking back in a reclined chair on a sandy beach somewhere with nice clear water. That is the imagery of a summer vacation.

Hmm ... I think you're onto something. Victoria's Secret recently mailed a brochure featuring a small pineapple bag slung over a model's shoulder. I believe the pineapple sported sunglasses.

It's not on their pink website though.

Sorry...this trend definitely isn't anything new...I started noticing it more than 20 years ago...and it was old then.

Three men who were lost in the forest were captured by cannibals. The cannibal chief told the prisoners that they could live if they pass a trial. The first step of the trial was to go to the forest and get ten pieces of the same kind of fruit. So all three men went their separate ways to gather fruits.

The first one came back and said to the king, "I brought ten apples." The king then explained the trial to him. "You have to shove the fruits up your butt without any expression on your face or you'll be eaten."

The first apple went in... but on the second one he winced out in pain, so he was killed.

The second one arrived and showed the king ten berries. When the king explained the trial to him he thought to himself that this should be easy. 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8... and on the ninth berry he burst out in laughter and was killed.

The first guy and the second guy met in heaven. The first one asked, "Why did you laugh, you almost got away with it?" The second one replied, "I couldn't help it, I saw the third guy coming with pineapples."
