We’ve been eating pineapple wrong our whole lives!

Who knew?! - by Amy Sinclair
  • 08 Mar 2019

Just when you thought you’d seen it all, along comes a video that changes EVERYTHING. 

Posted on Twitter by a UK student, the footage shows that we’ve been eating pineapple wrong all this time. 

We’ve been eating pineapple wrong our whole lives!

Created by user @dillonroberts22 on Tik Tok, the video has had more than 11 million views worldwide and shows that you can eat a pineapple by simply breaking off the segments and eating the pineapple piece by piece. 

Specifically, you cut the top off the pineapple and then pinch the skin and drag it towards the centre - tearing off the flesh and eliminating the need for chopping. 

Said one social media user: 'It's crazy we been doing **** the wrong way for like 50 years and then out of nowhere Twitter making us feel like idiots'. Yes!

Providing a scientific answer for how this is possible, another social media user writes: 'You can do this because pineapples are actually berries. As the fruit grows, the individual berries coalesce together.

'Each "eye'" is a single individual berry. They may seem fused together, but if you start from the top, you can pluck each eye, one by one.’ Who knew?!

Not surprisingly, the Internet went nuts over the pineapple revelation. 

'Should I just drop out of college now or? Why am I learning more on this app.’ Said another: ‘I feel like I know nothing. I feel like I’ve been living a lie all this time.’

Added a third: ‘Possibly the biggest revelation of the last 500 years.’

That’s a little extreme! One thing’s for sure, we’re going to be buying a pineapple today just so we can test this out - along with 208092032 other people!
