About this listen

Today, we think nothing of grabbing a delicious cheap pineapple from our local supermarket shelves any time the mood strikes us.

But go back a few hundred years and you better make sure you have a decent credit limit on that 17th century equivalent of your Black Amex!

In this episode, the Brain Bubblegum crew chews over the fascinating origins of pineapples. From an object of wealth and extravagance, to a symbol of hospitality, to an… erm, symbol of your willingness to share… well, everything, the humble pineapple is anything but.

Just… don’t put that pineapple in your shopping trolley’s top basket.
