Pineapples for Love!

[RoseRed]

A Spanish craze encouraging single people to seek partners in supermarkets by using a fruit-based code has caused some chaotic scenes and even led to the police being called to restore order.

In recent days, many single Spaniards have been drawn to branches of supermarket chain Mercadona between 7pm-8pm by claims they can find romance at that time, particularly if they put a pineapple upside down in their shopping trolley.

I thought the upside down pineapple meant something else for the NON-single folk

Evidently, it does...

It is not the first time an upside-down pineapple has been used as a code. More traditionally, it has been used to allow people interested in swapping sexual partners, known as swinging, to find each other.

I think it was Kwillia who first asked about it. Honestly, I've never seen this happening, but it has been pointed out that I'm not the most observant person in the world.

Imagine what a Prune might signify.

No idea but I know with six you get eggroll.

I'd say ask Kwillia, but she's off the sauce now... On to other adventures.
