Subscribe!10 strange pineapple facts
It is as odd as it looks!
They are very strange things, pineapples.
It would be reasonably easy to write a whole book, albeit a small one, containing things that most people probably don’t know about pineapples.
I don’t think anyone would buy the book though, so we’ll just keep it down to these 10 interesting (I think) facts.
-
There are a lot of foods that affect the taste of your seminal or vaginal fluids, but pineapple is one of the strongest. Eating a lot of pineapple makes you taste sweeter, and less ‘fishy’.
-
When you cut up a pineapple at home, you normally chuck the skin, core and ends in the bin. The pineapple canning industry doesn’t though, these bits are used for making alcohol, vinegar and animal feed.
-
Each pineapple plant only produces just one pineapple per year.
-
Unripe pineapples don’t just taste vile, but can actually be quite poisonous. Eating it causes serious throat irritation and it has a strong laxative effect.
-
Pineapples grow slowly, and can take up to two years to reach full size, so we pick and eat them when they are much smaller, but if they are left to their own devices they can reach up to 9kg (20lbs).
-
If you want to speed up the ripening of a pineapple, so that you can eat it faster, then you can do it by standing it upside down (on the leafy end).
-
Traditionally pineapple juice was used as a diuretic and to induce labour.
-
The Bromelain enzyme in pineapples breaks down proteins. This means that you can use pineapple or pineapple juice as a meat tenderiser.
-
The same Bromelain enzyme means that you can’t put fresh pineapple in jelly, because it breaks down the gelatine. You can stop this from happening by boiling the chunks of pineapple in their juice or in water for a few minutes, or you can use canned pineapple.
-
In case you find yourself on a sailing trip in the tropics without any Ajax, you might like to know that pineapple juice mixed with sand is very good for cleaning boat decks and machete blades.

That’s awesome, and I love that #1 fact. Thanks a bunch, I’m definitely keeping this url handy.
July 29th, 2009 at 1:14 am
The first fact is false. Silly people and their internet BS.
July 29th, 2009 at 3:58 am
Jim’s just mad because he tried it and his p*ssy cream still taste’s like fish and onions.
July 29th, 2009 at 10:04 am
Actually the first fact isn’t false at all.
Virtually everything in your diet has some affect on your ‘taste’. For example, eating a large amount of anything that contains a high level of fructose will generally make you taste sweeter.
Pineapple affects the taste faster and after ingesting smaller quantities than most other foods.
I know it’s fact, not only because I’ve read all of the science, but also because I’ve tried it.
July 29th, 2009 at 6:31 pm
You tried you own cum?
July 30th, 2009 at 1:28 pm
Well, pineapple changes the taste of both seminal and vaginal fluids, so I’ve experienced the effect on the female of the species.
I have tasted my own secretions as well though. You can’t expect anyone else to go down there if you aren’t willing to yourself.
This has now got way off topic though!
July 30th, 2009 at 5:15 pm
lol @ Ryan. I agree. and wtf??!!! @ John. Thanks for sharing that with us, lol. =]~
July 30th, 2009 at 7:43 pm
I totally give Kudos to John for his tidbit about going there himself..thats a beautiful thing…
i have asked guys that before and gotten the answers like peter and so on..
it’s nice to see some maturity.. PLUS if you have every kissed someone after they have played the skin flute.. you have tasted it anyway.
but yes #1 does work.. i <3 it
August 2nd, 2009 at 6:50 pm
I totally agree with Bree and think we should start a fan club for John.I dont think its strange at all for a man to taste his own product.I have tasted my own and Im sure most if not all women have also.And yes, I can say that tip #1 does indeed work :}
August 3rd, 2009 at 2:18 am
why is it that you can’t find pineapple juice in plastic containers. I can only find it in cants.
August 3rd, 2009 at 12:40 pm
Thanks Bree, and anon fan club founder.
Sam, where do you live?
Where I live you can buy pineapple juice in both glass and plastic bottles, but I understand it is more often in tins in the USA.
Some manufacturers prefer not to package it in bottles, as pineapple juice is damaged by light, and being in a tin or other non opaque container gives it a longer shelf life.
August 4th, 2009 at 12:24 am
Good god Ryan, I just about gagged there.
August 6th, 2009 at 3:29 am
I’m not going to comment on the first fact, however after touring a pineapple plantation I can tell you that 6 is false, pineapples do not ripen any further once they have been harvested.
also a few fun facts to add
*a pineapple is actually made up of many smaller fruit (like a raspberry)
*it ripens from the bottom up so the bottom of the fruit is sweeter than the top
*pineapple plants in the wild produce fruit with extreme irregularity, plantations put the plants under stress to induce fruit growth (James Dole was the first to discover this effect)
August 6th, 2009 at 5:15 am
Number six works for me! The ripening was even and the fruit was juicy and sweet. I think the reverse upside down storage helps the juices flow to the top. Usually the bottom starts going before the upper sweetens up. A local grower told me to always pick the one that has started to turn yellow. If it’s all green, it won’t get any better.
August 7th, 2009 at 7:16 am
#2 is false they throw them away
August 7th, 2009 at 7:21 am
so if i eat lots of vagina will my jizz taste like pussy?
August 7th, 2009 at 7:46 pm
yeah, different foods definitely affect the flavor. Pineapple and citrus are good. Broccoli and asparagus are bad. Bananas are good. Dark leafy greens not so good. My girlfriend and I have experimented VERY extensively on this subject. Too much red meat tends to make things taste to “bloody”. Chew on that a bit…
August 13th, 2009 at 10:24 pm
lol @ dr fishy
August 17th, 2009 at 5:14 am
Barbecue sauce has a strong effect on earwax, you can detect weather it is a sugar free or SPLENDA‚Ñ¢ version too. Toe jam is reliant on your consumption of beetroot for its flavoring, in fact ask any beetroot hater if you can taste their toe jam they will refuse, merely because their TJ is very very bland. You are best to sprinkle it on to anchovies or herring roes, beetroot tasting like pus as it does.
August 17th, 2009 at 7:59 am
great facts and all but regarding factoid number one I have a hard time believing that You people have researched so extensively and that Your poor godforsaken girlfriends are giving You honest reliable answers. We need a scientific study with a control group or something.
In My experience Pineapple and Celery work very well together for this sort of thing, but what do I know.
August 17th, 2009 at 2:41 pm
So how much pineapple would you have to eat to make number 1 work?
August 18th, 2009 at 4:57 am
watermelon makes things pretty tasty might i add, from experience. chocolate too. what you eat affects the way you taste (as said). ‘you are what you eat.’ animal products and by products tend to make things more bitter if you will and less pleasant..
August 20th, 2009 at 5:12 am
Actaully the first fact is true. ask any OB/GYN and they should be able to tell u almost any fruit can make that sweeter and onions and garlic can make it more bitter
August 20th, 2009 at 5:14 am
It’s all garbage.
August 27th, 2009 at 4:22 am
I have proven #1 one as well…. But only because my eggplant sized member shot it in the there by accident. Too bad I had liver and onions for dinner.
August 27th, 2009 at 9:20 pm
The bit about one fruit per year isn’t correct either. I have a lot of pineapple plants growing in my yard and I got my second harvest of the year a few weeks ago. Once I even had two pineapples on the same plant at the same time!
September 3rd, 2009 at 9:28 pm
This post proves an amusing first visit. I will return! Thanks for the informative laughs today.
September 11th, 2009 at 4:43 pm
awesome for #1 – deinitely true
September 11th, 2009 at 4:43 pm
u guya r awesome
September 13th, 2009 at 5:31 am
Jejejejej, well is official, everybody let´s eat pineapple !!
Note: The hawaian pizza it´s not recomended, cause the cheese could give you another taste.
September 26th, 2009 at 8:34 pm
@ Watch Me Eat – Where do you live? It seems really strange to have multiple fruitings in a year, and I’ve never heard of two fruits on the same plant at the same time!
@ Jennifer – Thanks, glad you like
@ octavio – Don’t most people taste a bit cheesy anyway?

i think its kinda true #1 but i do eat alot of pineapple
February 10th, 2010 at 11:24 pm

February 15th, 2010 at 4:23 pm
this helped me too much!!!i say no.1s kind’a true
May 27th, 2010 at 1:21 am
this really helped!i needed #6.
June 25th, 2010 at 4:01 pm
Thanks for this list. You really made an effort to collect those interesting and unusual facts. I have a website about pineapples (http://www.pineapplefacts.info) and I wasn’t even aware of some of those facts.
July 7th, 2010 at 2:01 am
These are really interesting, and I’m with everyone who says #1 is true- what you eat really can affect your taste, some things more so then others. For example, someone who has been living off of nothing but ramen for weeks- just don’t go there! Bad idea… lol.
I’ve only ever seen pineapple juice is paper cartons here in California.
July 9th, 2010 at 8:42 pm
Wtf i like fish. whats wrong with fish? it is a widely known fact that us bears like tuna and the very fact that you want to change the taste of my gf (shes a beaver) to a sweet taste deeply ofends me >:(
November 26th, 2010 at 5:16 am
“tenderiser” is spelled tenderizer.
November 26th, 2010 at 8:38 am
That depends on if you are using British or American English – since I’m English, I spell it tenderiser.
November 28th, 2010 at 7:31 pm
Will it tenderise my meatstick?

just a question: why do pineapples make my tongue sore after eating a lot of them?
December 2nd, 2010 at 2:02 am

December 2nd, 2010 at 12:42 pm
John why are you eating cum?
December 4th, 2010 at 11:02 am
I think we covered that in comment number 6, it’s still way off topic though.
December 10th, 2010 at 2:45 am
You’re ALL totally GROSS!
December 14th, 2010 at 8:43 pm
hhaha wowo this is strange but is it true can u really taste sweeter?
December 15th, 2010 at 6:10 am
i hate when the porn slaves take a ten minute break to visit, then comment on other sites
December 28th, 2010 at 8:53 pm
John, why did you taste your own waste? I can understand your curiosity/maturity/willingness to experiment, but seriously? Tasting your/a female’s… fluids is a little bit disturbing. And I think that any child may read your comments will be… scarred for life.

@pedobearsbrother
Lmao! Don’t let ur beaver eat pineapple then!
Processed foods in general don’t make us taste all that yummy I’ve been wit a vegetarian guy an tasted a hell of alot better then my carnivore bf now red meat makes it icky
February 19th, 2011 at 8:20 pm
how long does #1 take to affect your taste?
February 20th, 2011 at 9:25 am
You people are as pathetic as a half blind porcupine porking a pineapple.
This is why during the holidays, smart people shun fruitcake.

I eat them too, but if I can taste even sweeter by eating more, done deal!!!So I wanna know how much to eat? I eat generally healthy but I have my cheeseburger days too. please advise

@ home chef – I agree that we should think before speaking, but I believe in free speech more. I have thought about moderating several comments on this post but ultimately decided against it.
If something is particularly offensive or gratuitous then I might think again.

I just want to thank you for the info and keep the good work! I will try the new flavor of my wife after i give her a lot of pineapples. thanks!!! jajaja
June 16th, 2011 at 1:32 am
fact#3is being challenged by my 16 headed pineapple when I plant this mutant its gong to be one pineapple hedge producing 16 to 22 pineapples. I have pictures , Guinness??
June 20th, 2011 at 6:43 pm
I can honestly say #1 works, at least for a high sugar diet. Before my hubby and I got on our health kick, he ate sugar constantly. He was always pleasantly “sweet”. Since we’ve all but eliminated refined sugars from our diet, I no longer enjoy that aspect of our sex life. Bitter! So I can imagine pineapple might have a similar effect based on its sugar content.
June 23rd, 2011 at 12:37 am
There’s a song by the B-52′s called Strobe Light that includes a line in the song “Let me kiss your Pineapple”.

Pineapple eh? Heheh…I stumbled on this and learned somethin pretty hot. And i see nothin wrong tastin ur own fluids: male or female. I love mine,my boyfriend and vice versa. Next,a pineapple diet and I got first dibs on my cum :p
July 8th, 2011 at 7:02 pm
The first is VERY true……I went down on my BF one day and when he came it was very sweet. I asked him what he ate that day (like I was a scientist) and he said he had pineapples for breakfast (he was going through a pineapple phase)….Then of course I googled it…..and behold…I read about pineapples and our natural fluids…..
So for the naysayers…its true *shrugs* sorry ya’ll had some rank p*ssies/d*cks…..
July 14th, 2011 at 4:07 am
OMG this was hilarious…! And if kids are reading the comments they were messed up from the artical itself..lol. free speech I love it!

July 23rd, 2011 at 11:27 am

August 4th, 2011 at 10:48 am
I can top John I drink a half cup of my fluids daily and many of you comment “Gross or that’s just sick!” I can honestly say that my man cum.. Is actually really good and I always look forward to that half cup. I eat loads of pineapple within a week and continue to do so.. Also I am a man.
August 8th, 2011 at 2:14 pm
I wouldn’t yell that is gross or sick, but it’s more than a bit weird.
It does nothing for you nutritionally, must taste really salty, and don’t you feel a bit odd when harvesting it, standing there masturbating into a cup?
August 11th, 2011 at 10:04 pm
wow definitely entertaining that’s for sure. Lol. From what I understand it is the acidity in the fruit that makes a difference with the body and the fluid. Sugar is very alkaline, I am not sure about men but the more alkaline your body is the more bitter you fluid can be and the easier it is to upset the healthy balance of bacteria, which affects taste as well.
Either way pineapple is yummy and how could it hurt to try out this little fact. I am also curious as I did not notice an answer to the question, how much to eat and how long before a difference is noticed??
August 12th, 2011 at 7:14 am
John, for fact #1 does it have to be actual pineapple? Or can it be pineapple smoothies, pineapple juice, or something like home made pinapple juice? I’m kinda curious about what it has to be.
August 17th, 2011 at 6:13 pm
As long as it is made from fresh raw pineapple it has the same effect, so you can puree it, juice it, make it into a sorbet, etc. and nothing will change at all.
Cooking it will make a difference though.
August 23rd, 2011 at 1:54 pm
eventhouge it requiers great effort to prove the validity,it is sufficient to accept john experiance.Because he tries on himself(as control& subject group)

“shouldn’t eat any pineapple while pregnant,it will hurt the baby or ruin it
September 9th, 2011 at 1:52 am
pineapple is a great for helping weight loss, as well as taisting great, and yeh it does change taste!!
Fresh juice can actually make some people drunk, without adding alcohol !!!
September 22nd, 2011 at 12:56 pm
@ Connie – I’m not sure that is true, if you search you will find little or no scientific evidence that eating pineapple will hurt your unborn child.
What is true is that bromides, like those found in pineapple, can be used to induce labour. So eating extreme amounts of pineapple very late in pregnancy could have a side effect of inducing early labour, you would need to eat a LOT though.
@ Sandi – Surely that would only work if the pineapple was going off and starting to ferment? The fermenting sugar in the fruit forms alcohol naturally.
September 23rd, 2011 at 7:16 am
Most of the comments are related to the fact about sex. Why do people feel the need to express their sexual life on the internet? why don’t more people express this in real life? would it be true that if I would read you this list of facts in person you would still react the same way? would you still talk about it the same way? Imagine, I am a complete stranger. What makes this subject, which seems to be very interesting to people, be hidden by face to face personal restraints?
September 23rd, 2011 at 6:57 pm
i had a girl with a big bush (you know what kind of bush I mean!!!) haha and we nick-named her pineapple haha

I loved this article and the comments. Made my night and I LOL frequently. I also think it’s great that its been ongoing for almost 2 1/2 years. Quite impressive John. And I don’t think your weird for tasting. I agree with what you say. Don’t ask if not willing to do. But you bet I’m gonna go buy some fresh pineapple and try it out!

Hi i’m only sixteen but i stumbled across this page after my bf wouldnt tell me what pineapples do to your body. I think its really interesting and entertaining. Adults always say that teens are only focused on sex and I guess that is somewhat correct. But it seems as if you guys talk about sex more than we do.

Hello,people. My partner and I mutually decided to increase our pineapple intake, so I have been eating pineapple every time I think about it. (This is day 3, the 2 prior days I ate more than just fruits and veggies, but today it has been all pineapple, grapefruit, grapes, (V8), and water. I will probably have a yogurt later, with more pineapples….I wonder how this will work???? I wonder if it will DRAMATICALLY affect my natural juices..hmmm??

of the pineapple (which most people discard) is
the most nutritious part.

#10. I’ve mentioned this to a few people who thought I was out of my mind. When I was tired and too lazy to clean my short order grill properly I would get the solid gunk off then coat it with pinapple juice. The little cans we had for the breakfast crowd. In seconds the grill would be gleaming like it was new. I always started my bacon immedietely then, though. I knew prior to this that the juice had SOME acid but I began to worry that it was positively caustic.
April 22nd, 2012 at 9:23 am
I knew about men’s eating habits affecting their semen, but I never thought about it for myself. Someone on my Twitter mentioned fact #1 and it got me thinking. Now I’ll buy pineapple juice or pineapples weekly. I always have orange juice around. I wonder if it’s any comparison.

I can only say that last summer i was on a pineapple kick and noticed when i went to the restroom my urine and undies smelled really sweet. As for the taste i could not really taste much. But then again i dont spend my time tasting other girls. I do know that i eat a lot of fruit and i dont smell or taste fishy. Eewww
May 8th, 2012 at 1:43 pm
This is all VERY interesting. I can say like you, John, that I have tasted my own. In fact, I did my own pineapple taste test on myself and I could noticeably taste the difference. Once I started eating more and more pineapple I got addicted to my own semen and just cant stop. I suggest every guy try it! Ladies too!!!!
May 9th, 2012 at 4:08 am
I’ve tried #6 and it absolutely works. A guy on my job told me to try it and it worked great. Just twist the top off of the pineapple (do not cut it) and turn it upside down in a bowl and leave to ripen. Once it turns a pretty golden it’s ready. It was the sweetest, juiciest pineapple I’ve ever eaten! Tyler DOESN”T know what he’s talking about. It can take several days (even up to a week) to completely ripen but it will!
May 9th, 2012 at 1:39 pm
It is an amazing fruit.Even I don’t know before how it could be ripen fast.
May 15th, 2012 at 8:11 pm
