A/N: Just so you know, this is 100% false.

Ah, good old pineapples. They can't be mistaken for any other fruit, right? Wrong. Pineapples we're not always like they are now. No. In fact, they were different in many ways.

One of these ways include the size. Today, our pineapples are about a foot long, but what if I take u back to the 1950 era. Here, we have a small, four inch fruit that comes in about 30 bits a bunch. It looks very similar to corn but comes in bunches. It's color differed as well. They were an orangey- yellow instead of a yellowish-green. They were also more sweet rather than sour. Very nutrious for bugs, monkeys, birds, bats, rhinos, and some also pterodactyls but we can't be sure about that last one.

For generations the pineapple has been changing. It's gone through intense sun, heat, blizzards, hail pellets being thrown at it, blistering sands if the desert, and the old age homes to get where it is now and yet it is still unappreciated by most. Next time you go to say how you hate pineapples, stop and think, "Hey, maybe that pineapple hates me just as much."
