250 years ago people would rent pineapples for parties as status symbols because they cost $8000.

Nowadays the most expensive pineapple you can get is barely $400.

That's progress

If it helps, I could sell you a pineapple for more than that.

I'll have to see what my social status raising fruit budget looks like.

No you couldn't, they would never buy an 8000$ pineapple today because he could get one down the street for a couple bucks.
