Imagine you have $400 to spend on a luxury dining experience. You might treat yourself to a tin of premium caviar, a bottle or two of very fine wine or a multi-course meal at a high-end restaurant.
Pineapple fun fact: Before selling them for consumption, pineapple merchants rented pineapples to people who couldn’t afford to purchase them. Those who rented would take the pineapple to parties, not to give as a gift to the host, but to carry around and show off their apparent ability to afford such an expensive fruit.
A pineapple could cost up to 8000$ in the 1700-1800.

I’d rather compost and eat pineapple, to be honest.
Compost the rich for growing the pineapple!
