History Fact

In 18th century England, pineapples were a status symbol.

Those rich enough to own a pineapple would carry them around to signify their personal wealth and high-class status.

Near enough everything from clothing to houseware was decorated with the exotic fruit.

And for those who weren’t rich enough to buy their own pineapples and become a part of this fad, they could rent a pineapple out to tout around in public and look the part for the day!
