Did you know that in the 18th century, pineapples were a symbol of wealth and prestige in Europe? These exotic fruits were so rare and expensive that people would rent them to display at parties and events to show off their social status. Guests would marvel at the sight of a pineapple, often more than the taste, as it was a sign of the host’s prosperity. Owning a pineapple was akin to owning a luxury car today! 🍍✨

wow, who knew pineapples were the og status symbol! 😂 wonder if people ever tried to sneak a bite when no one was looking! 🍍😆
