...Anyone else noticed?

I've been checking my local supermarket for dried pineapple I use to make Thai soup...none in stock for a while...then I realized I hadn't seen fresh pineapples in a while, either.

Apparently, there's a global pineapple shortage that's been getting worse for the last two years. It's a silent crisis.

We won't talk about the cause of this crisis. But it's actually kind of a big deal, if you think about it.

I was never a fan of hawaiian pizza anyway. Felt like fake pizza.

This is dire however.

Fuck pineapple.

Shittiest fruit on the planet.

Let me know when there is a shortage of something delicious, like milk.

Last thing I want is a milk crisis.

10 pts if you understand the reference.

Strictly speaking, pizza with tomato sauce is fake pizza.

I haven't seen a pineapple shortage at my local supermarkets. My son finds pineapples most amusing when going through the produce department so we play with them each weekend.

Anyways, I've seen them all over recently - they're in our supermarkets (bought whole, canned or in a fruit tray), at SuperTarget and also at Edible Arrangements where they get dipped chocolate to make a tasty treat!

Florida seems to be doing okay on them. Maybe it's a northern thing?

Also, nothing beats fresh cut pineapple. Canned pineapple cannot even come close.

I haven't noticed anything, either. Not only did I just see pineapple in the grocery across the street from the office when I went over there for juice, but the other night when I was in a different store with a bulk aisle, there was literally a bin of dried pineapple. I haven't noticed any price spikes on either.

Pineapple is the least interesting fruit.

That's just a lame grapefruit.

Pineapple has an uninteresting taste. But point, grapefruits and their derivatives aren't exciting either.
