Do you think its worth the $50?
no
50 bucks? Do you know what you can get for 50 bucks?
You could buy an entire strawberry in Japan with that kind of money. ;)
Well well! Very interesting and im early have a good day!
you could grow the top into plant
50 bucks, with the holidays coming up it might be worth the buy
I wonder if they chop the tops off to prevent people from growing their own. I have a 2 foot tall Dole growing in my back yard.
Probably
I was just about to comment the same
Exactly what I was thinking, propagation from other plants is already so commonplace that I don’t think that’s why they are cutting the tops off
Yep, that was my first thought as well. I guess big business has to find a way to inject evil practices into fruit growing as much as they can. hah!
That is 100% correct. Many companies will remove the center or entire top of pinapples so you are not able to grow a plant from them. Though you are not going to grow full sized pinapples from the tops. Perhaps once the tree has gotten old enough it will produce larger fruit. But typically a tree grown from a top will only grow half sized pinapples.
Im glad you liked the pineapple! I ordered mine and really enjoyed it and immediately knew I had to send you one!
Hey thanks for doing this! So cool to see him try this new famous fruit!
Kudos to you Nathan. That was a very cool thing to do. Thanks
you are a good guy
Thanks for sending him this great video 👍
An awesome gift.
They chopped the top of it so you couldn’t grow a new plant from the crown. It’s way of protecting their brand. I have grown a new plant from the crown of a pineapple I got from the grocery store. It did grow more pineapples (yes, unlike most ppl say, the new plant is not just good for supplying one pineapple and does not need to be discarded after the first growing season.) And yes, the resulting pineapples were just like the parent pineapple from the grocery store. Same size, same gorgeous colouring and the taste of them was even better!
Its a GMO product, they probably cant legally let people propagate their own
haha, and the pinkglow website says they did it to be sustainable. "Should you open your Pinkglow™ package only to wonder if your pineapple has lost its crown, fret not. We remove and replant each crown before shipping, sustainably cultivating the next crop of this magnificent rarity. Plus, we didn’t want to overdress for the trip." copy-pasted from pinkglowpineapple.com. I believe the sustainable part is true, but del monte probably cared about protecting their creation more.
Because if it can be propagated with out special tinkering they can legally claim rights/royalties over it either
@@calicovision They don't want Chiquita to get their grubby little hands on it
its also easyer to to ship ,need less space and it reduce co2 emitions
Never thought I'd be watching a pineapple unboxing
That's 2020 for ya. Full of surprises.
I usually only watch lingerie unboxing/try-on hauls...
@@cthulutech4697And it just stops getting interesting 2022 and on.
You know why they removed the top ! So you can not plant the top to grow a trademark fruit.
Just commented saying the same thing. I the part that annoys me is they are making it seem like they are doing it for activism.
@@ericlivingston8027 pink capitalism just got a whole new meaning
que family matters theme
yeah i dont think it takes 15 years to make it
I thought the same thing
lol fruit drm
i love your house's antiqued gothic aesthetic
His apartment brought my inner Goth joy.
More like a Victorian/steampunk goth aesthetic rather than like standard goth aesthetic.

@@PrOGopogo k?
Reminds me of those furniture items in Habbo Hotel
lol this has Victorian vibes, like just rent the pink pineapple for a party so people know how rich you are XD
Del monte may cut the tops off so I can't regrow it, but they can't stop me from renting out pink pineapples to wealthy Victorians.
@@WeirdExplorer XD

Roflmao
YOUR cold, crab-like eyes that are reminicent of early youtube. The reason I've watched you since I was a kid. Honestly man, your travels helped me not be like my young peers in thinking travel was only some rich, glamourous thing.
In all honesty, travel can be brutal. You can be alone in a tent atop a mountain you wanted to see during the pouring rain. Travel is work. And to see (or harvest/buy in your case) that one thing you came for.... that takes an effort worth a thousand glamours.
I-
I nearly choked from laughing when you said “cold crab like eyes of youtube”. I can’t handle this level of snark on a Sunday.
Jesus christ you sound annoying
@@akra4424 sounds like you're one of those pairs of cold, crablike eyes
@@akra4424 You are annoying haha got u
It's so deliciously snarky though
@@nytrodioxide 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Legitimately thought it was ham lmao
It looks like spam-
If it tasted like bacon it would break instagram.
@S E: I never did go in for Canadian bacon (THAT'S A REGULAR OL' HAM STEAK, YOU WEIRDASS HOSERS, AND EVERYBODY KNOWS IT!!!), but my preferred pizza is black olives, pineapple, garlic, artichoke hearts, and just the barest smattering of Italian sausage on each slice, just to get some protein and that aniseed flavor. Delicious!
😎 underrated comment!!
@@WeirdExplorer Hahaha, That would be absolutely insane!
i can't believe i never put together that weird fruit explorer is goth... stan a legend
I had an inkling, but it was never confirmed before now.
He's also a professional contortionist. I still can't get over that fact.
@@glabhinnara I know right? He's way more talented (and tbh, way hotter) than half of the instagram "influencer celebrities" you can find. He's just like the package. Attractive, talented, intelligent and down-to-earth.
I seriously wish there were guys like him around more often.
Apostastrophe I know right??? but he’s not like many other influencers. Seems like he “only” cares about his fruits 😂😅 also, his 2020 video edits doesn’t really change much from where he started (“only” better video cameras). You know? Without all the “cool” edits or a video opening with animations or anything like that, which makes his videos unique in its own way, despite being on youtube for years. Haha.
Interestingly enough, pineapples are a bunch of berries fused together. Therefore pineapples are a berry.
@Iram Savir seriously?
😂😂😂
Really? The more you know
All I know is that pineapple grow weirdly
Woah Pink Pineapple is a real thing, I always thought it was just, ahem, a uh... studio
Lmao
Was looking for this comment
I was looking for this comment
They make good stuff though
The man of culture that I've been looking for
Now they just need to work on a blue version and all the instagrammers can use them for their gender reveal parties instead of lighting all of California on fire.
🔪😂
Or just kill the blue pink gender binary and just make up your own (yellow for girl pink for boy). Literally saves you a lot of time.
Dang, beat me to it! XD
Gender reveal pineapple: *is a normal yellow pineapple*
People at the gender reveal party: *confusion*
@Axel James the pineapple is cut. if it's a boy, the pineapple explodes. if it's a girl, the pineapple also explodes, but pink and with glitters.
When DelMonte introduce the "GOLD" pineapple in a corporate meeting, their competitors' dumpster-dived for the crowns thrown out after the meeting. DelMonte charged a premium (up to $15 in NYC). But in a couple of years EVERYONE was growing gold pineapples. They must have learned from that experience and chopped off the crowns, "neutering" their fruits.
If you really tried, you can tissue culture those tiny remaining leaves
Was this ages ago? I'm 45 and pineapples have been gold my whole life
“Yo did you hear?”
“Hear what”
“Del monte finally dropped their new fruit”
They cut off the top of it so you cant grow more yourself
Bastards!
They left just enough leaf to tissue culture though....
There's enough.
nonono... it's so it's "sustainable"!
They use it to regrow it themselves.
Letting aside the "instagramable" part, is really cool that they maneged to turn a pineapple pink
10 years of youtube and finally making it big. Congrats mate
"Cold crab like eyes" that actually made me laugh out loud lol

"You see more of a death aesthetic"
*Looks to my left where I have also have a medical replica skull on display all year...*
I can dig it.
It’s not a replica
Eyy same here
Maybe the'll come out with a skull shaped pineapple next
@@notaweeb7936 wait, he has a real skull
@@sharkbitesback2749 idk I was just joking
so i looked at the likes wondering "why are the likes so low?". until i realised i got here within a few minutes of the video being released.
Loved the instagram photo skit, had me geeking 😹😹
I was thinking at the start of the video "Ah, I'll just take the head and grow as many of my own pineapples from it as I want" only to find out that they thought of that.
A WHOLE HAM
"Cold crab like eyes of RUclips" I don't think I've ever heard a more appropriate description before.
Ahhh yes Pink Pineapple. Known for their amazing works such as-
Ahhh yes Pink Pineapple. What a nice looking fruit ahaha
I’ve actually had one of these pink pineapples. The absolute sweetest pineapple I have ever eaten. Had it cold out of a fridge and it was so good
I saw some pineapples labeled as "pink pineapples" at Eataly btw. Couldn't buy it since I was on my bike tho
Really? I'll have to check that out. Did you catch the price?
@@WeirdExplorer I didn’t unfortunately but maybe it was around $10?
They might be gone now this was a couple months back
@@nikhillrao3799 must be something else but now I want to try it!
I have a friend in nyc who saw one for 16$ labeled as pink pineapple in China Town
I love this channel and I am addicted to learning about these strange fruits and trying to find them. Where do you find a lot of these fruits without traveling? I’m in the Chicago area and I have a hard time finding anything more exotic than an orange half the time
Everything about this pineapple is pretentious to a comical level
Particularly the fact that it's transgenic.
Love your fruit-goth aesthetic :)
As a fellow millenial, you're aesthetic is "lit" as the young people say
thanks fam
Definitely the kind of aesthetic I would not be surprised to see in the home of a contortionist who travels the world eating weird fruit. Or maybe the guy who owns a novelty store that seasonally sells Halloween costumes.
Crazy thing, I was in Hawaii for a surgery and went to Del'Monte pineapple farm. I'm 100% positive I saw these in a field. I asked one of the employees why it was pink. They told me it was just a regular pineapple, but I think it was one of these.
I tried this pineapple a few months ago (a farmer smuggled it for us) and I can confirm that it's the best fruit I've had, literally pineapple without that acidity, so you can eat it constantly like grapes. 10/10
Deathaesthetic 💀🖤💀
This old Gen Xer appreciates your mortuarial aesthetic.
Jared is actually a gen-X, he is 1 year too old to be a millennial...
Lol I love your channel. The Instagram pics lol
Omg 😱 I’m 50 years old and my home decor is half macabre. I love the chair you’re sitting on, Awesomeness! Great minds think alike at any age.
"Pink pineapple", huh? I'm sorry, everyone. But how do I say this... they're an amazing animation studio. Lmao.
,🤣
Even the name is instagrammable
Pinkglow: new Mascara by Chanel
I always enjoyed your videos.. but seeing you absolutely rip the social media sheep a new one brought a single tear to my eye. 😊
As pineapple is my favorite fruit and pink is my favorite color I'm sorely tempted to buy one, lol. Would be cool as a one-time fancy thing for a party. Kudos to Nathan for sending you one so we all can learn about and enjoy this new type of pineapple!
Two things worth noting:
They're likely contractually-obligated to prevent the potential spread of a patented fruit strain, same as "sumo ornages" and their equivalent mandarins stateside; "sunkist, yosemite gold", and the other gold I don't remember off-hand".
Japan has essentially been doing this with fruit for centuries, I don't think it makes it less moral for some costa rican's to do it with the added-venire of pretentious and empty pseudo-culture.
Also shipping was probably a solid $30 of that price tag lol...
If they need to do it because of patent issues than be honest about it. Don't go around talking about protecting the environment when you are just protecting your profit or contract.
@@ericlivingston8027 is new iPhone without charger also seems honest to you? It's also a luxury product. Get real, you shouldn't expect honesty from someone, think with your head.
@@ericlivingston8027
Marketing is marketing, target audience will care more about "sustainability" than the realities of hybrid and gmo fruit strain legal agreements.
@@Xlijkee How many people do you know with a iphone now days? Everyone is switching to android because the fact is android the much better and cheaper. People are starting to realize that apple is just ripping people off. At this point all apple has is aesthetics and the fact that it is simple. At this point at least 88% of the market is android users and apple loses more and more people every day. I own a iphone but it is a iphone 6. I use that iphone and once that iphone dies or needs replacing I will honestly go with a android. Either way when that news came out about the charger apple's stock dropped something like 1/3 of it's stock price in one day. Will there be people who will keep buying from apple I would say yes but the majority will move on eventually unless they make something super great coming up.
But, realistically "some Costa Ricans" are not benefitting from the income from patenting of this fruit. Some Del Monte corporation trust fund brat, is.
I laughed pretty hard at the “cold crab like eyes of RUclips” thing.
your home decor is actually the best
Because the top would allow people to grow genetically modified pineapples. I am wholely against GMO's and think it is a very slippery slope.
why is it a slippery slope?
I was once like you, but I kept reading and learning, and now I am no longer against genetic engineering. I encourage you to expand your sources and keep an open mind. The world is getting more and more populated and climate change is real. We will need every tool in our toolbox to survive.
why are you against GMO's?
I don't think he is not for GMO because of the science. He's a gardener and there are some issues with patented seeds and independent growers of food. If most of the seed available becomes patented product it leads to bigger issues for those that like to garden freely and save and reuse their seeds or even sell them. The control over what's been natural for thousands of years is already a highly political issue.
@@let_uslunch8884 That is a good point, and I agree that we need to keep our eyes on the greedy corporations, but people forget that organic suppliers are also big corporations and they have been spreading a lot of mis-information about GMOs. Either way, we need to watch both kinds of corporations; conventional and organic. Wikipedia has a pretty even-handed summary of the issues: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_food_controversies#Economy

I wish they’d come up with a pineapple that doesn’t chem burn the sht of the inside of your mouth!
They already did in my country Malaysia.
All it takes is some heat to deactivate the enzymes.
try canned
@@fashiharz8584 what is it called ?
I wish you spent more time on how exactly this pineapple is made. Is it bred? Is it genetically modified? Is it treated with enzymes or other compounds to achieve the effect?
If you look at the box it says "This was made possible by bioengineering" so yeah
Its genetically modified, information which Del Monte does not readily provide on their website, presumably thanks to all the dumbfuck anti-GMO fear-mongering
in the EU I believe all GMO products must be labelled clearly when sold.
This decision was made through massive referendums and national debates back around 2000ish.
although the more I learned about biology the more I understood there is absolutely nothing to be concerned about when consuming GMOs. I'd happily survive on a diet made of pure crispr GMOs.
But the public fear has saved us from an ugly, messy, problematic aftermath of a agricultural gold rush like GMO rush with millions of companies rushing to develop profitable bio products, and then those genes getting introduced to the wild. Also the few big globo companies like Monsanto suing everyone who accidently ended up growing corn with trademarked Monsanto genes.
actually think gmos are good for our health an there are fear mongers3 your screwed AHAHAHAH nothin to be concerned about oh my the cia controls your whole head pathetic romans
"The cold, crablike eyes of youtube" Is probably my favorite quote of the year
Pink pineapple a beautiful fruit, and a quality studio
Indeed
A very death aesthetic. Yeah I noticed, it is nice. A lot of your stuff is unconventional and mildly morbid for whatever reason and I like it a lot.
"Im not a typical millennial" is exactly what a millennial would say.
Have you ever tried a Maui gold pineapple? You might find it interesting as it's more of a heritage cultivar before dole switched to whatever cultivar they're using now which I find is quite tart and not nearly as sweet. I would wonder if this pink one is a modified cultivar of the Maui gold.
When I saw that title on my subscription page, I had to take a double look, to see what channel it was for.
Let's just say that there is a company out there named Pink Pineapple that produces not-so-family-friendly content.
4:02 it’s so you can’t grow your own...

@Soraia ljubtschenko Motta I understand the market for this sort of thing. I'm merely expressing that I am not that market, and I don't care much for that market. These are the kind of people that buy slightly-above-average whiskey in a hand-carved wooden box with a pamphlet created with museum-quality printing that describes a day in the life of the guy who rolls the barrels into various climate-controlled warehouse rooms; people with the dreary kind of success that comes from making something almost useless that enough people buy to provide a luxury income, like an app programmer, and they need to buy things that give them a sense of importance.
Sorry about that tangent. I lived in Seattle for several years.
You gotta sell it somehow. I am gald there is one more unique fruit in the world.
I laughed at your cute Instagram jokes. Funny. I'm glad that was a good pineapple.
Sounds wonderful. I grow a variety called "Sugar Baby" in San Diego. It was a wonderful. They cut the top to propagate it!
They cut the top so that you can't replant it and make your own pink pineapple tree.
can't be letting Chiquita be getting their grimy little hands on it, now can we?
This is an actual hentai studio name
Haha
Man of culture
I love the idea of someone accidental finding my channel while looking for hentai.

Pink pineapple on yellow ham. Find yellow ham!
Your Insta poses 😂😂😂I am screaming!!!!
I grow bonsai trees and have tried growing pineapples from cut tops. That's probably what they were trying to avoid having happen by cutting them off, but it could still be done, although much more difficult.
When your masculinity is so fragile you can’t hold a pink fruit.
I would have totally been on board if you went into some detail on being against genetic modification for the sake of social media clout, but just being mad that the fruit was pink and how “you’re not like other millennials”.
Also, I’m very confident they cut the top off to prevent you from growing your own (and save on shipping costs).
huh, I was expecting Hentai. Guess im in the wrong place.
Wow I’m glad this channel is picking up lots of views. It’s a great channel for fruit and travel lovers.
The thumbnail had be hackling. The photo shoot! 😂 The best! Thank you for doing what you do. I always know with your channel. That I'm given as close to the truth. About all these wonderful fruits. 🤗
I’ve always found that for most tropical fruits the easiest way to check if they’re ripe is to simply smell the fruits themselves. the fruit with the strongest aroma will often be ripe and ready for consumption, This is especially true for mangos and pineapples which can be hit or miss most of the time. It does have to be said that I do get a few funny looks in Aldi to say the least haha lol ;).
hahaha you crack me up with your Instagram poses
I was making tepache the other day with 2 day old pineapple skins kept in the fridge. After 3 days, it turned pink like this, and grew mold. Free pink pineapple!
This guy is without a doubt getting into my top 3 youtubers list
love the idea of a novelty luxury pineapple. gonna get old fashioned and show it to all my zoom dinner party guests
This is from one of their websites about the crowns.
“What sustainability measures is Fresh Del Monte taking?
Fresh Del Monte Produce is currently planting the Pinkglow™ pineapple crowns in an effort to increase
the volume of Pinkglow™ pineapple crops and reduce waste.”
I doubt it’s as sincere as they say, though.
The pineapple picture poses got a chuckle out of me
I like him because his honest and good bloke so I give him a 10 for information on fruits keep up the good work dude😊

This made me very happy and I'll have a good day now.
Yes it is to keep you from growing and producing a new plant and fruit. All of the pineapples we buy, I always plant the crowns and in a few year I may get a small or medium fruit.
