If you're strolling around your local supermarkets wine section with an upside down pineapple, make sure the Mrs or Mr ain't about.
You may get accosted by an admirer

So disappointing, I was expecting the usual outcry over whether pineapple is permitted on a pizza or not.

Anyway, does this work with a tin of pineapple chunks or rings?

I wonder what might happen if you put a banana and a chocolate covered ring doughnut in your basket.
You might get a-costa'd.

A lot of Mercadona stores have started to remove stock from shelves during the "flirting hours" because the supermarkets are filling up with Gen Z'ers who just pick up a pineapple and ram their trolleys into each other without buying anything.

I get that a lot of the youth are disillusioned with dating apps, but surely there's a less stupid way to meet new people?

I always found it a struggle to get a pineapple in your basket once it was full of pampas grass

The good old days, car keys in the fruit bowl, I got a Cortina MK II

I keep wondering what the f*** i'm doing with my life. How the f*** did I already know what an upside down pineapple meant and thought everyone knew.

I know: to piña romantic hopes on how you fondle some prickly, tropical fruit seems desperate.
