Wrong, it's delicious. The Hawaiians got it right.
That one Greek immigrant in Canada got it right! Lol
They're an honorary Hawaiian.
Pineapples are south American. It's a rascism thing
One of the islands is majority owned by dole and is one of the largest pineapple farms in the world.
Fuck dole and monopolies but "saying pineapples are from Hawaii is racist" is dumb as shit
Thr plant is native to South America. Dole sold them as Hawaiian so they could charge more. Same thing with dragon fruit. It is also south American but they gave it an Asian theme so it sounds fancy and they can charge extra. Really basically every good plant came from the America's but we associate then with some fancier place. Tomatoes, Italy. Potatoes? Ireland. You and I both know if we called spaghetti Mexican fusion they wouldn't be able to charge half what they do for it at the olive garden.
Same with coconuts. They are associated with Hawaiian and Caribbean cultures when in fact they're native to South Asia and the Austronesian islands.
Nah, some Canadian Greek guy invented Australia's most popular pizza, the hawaiian pizza
You have fallen for whatever marketing department propaganda this pineapple war is
Nope. It's awesome
I'd add hating on Hawaiian Pizza into this list.
Irony!
