Benny Blanco's Pink Pineapple: Peak Stupidity or Just Another Instagram Scam?
Okay, lemme get this straight. We're all losing our minds over *pink* pineapples now? Seriously? Benny Blanco can endorse it all he wants. I’m not buying it.
Pink Pineapples: Who Asked for This, Exactly?
Genetically Modified...So What?
So, some scientists fiddled with the DNA to keep the lycopene from turning into beta-carotene. Big deal. They're acting like this is some kind of amazing breakthrough. It's not. It's just another way to charge gullible people $50 for a pineapple. Fifty bucks! What are we, made of money?
And the health benefits? "Rich in Vitamin C"? Newsflash: so are oranges, and they don't cost as much as your freakin' car payment. High in antioxidants? Fine, eat some blueberries. Aids digestion? Probiotics, people, probiotics. Low in calories? Since when did anyone eat pineapple for *weight loss*?
It takes two years to grow one of these things? You're kidding me. I can barely keep a succulent alive for two *months*. What kind of resources are we wasting on this pink monstrosity?
Pink Pineapples: Instagram Bait for Suckers
The Instagram Effect: Brainwashing in Action
"Its pastel color and photogenic charm make it a favorite among influencers." There it is. The real reason. It's all about the 'gram. It's not about the taste, the health, or even the novelty. It's about the likes. It's about the clicks. It’s about people showing off how much disposable income they have.
The Pink Pineapple: Nature’s Sweetest Trend Taking Over the Internet — and Benny Blanco Approves
I bet half the people posting about these things haven't even tasted them. They just want the aesthetic. They want to show off their "unique" and "cultured" lifestyles. Give me a break.
And the fact that they ship it without the crown to prevent replanting? That’s some next level corporate greed right there. They don’t even want you to try and grow your own damn pink pineapple. They want you hooked on their $50 fruit forever.
Offcourse, the exclusivity is part of the appeal. Gotta keep the peasants away from the pink pineapple party, right?
Pink Pineapples: Peak Stupidity or the Apocalypse?
Is This the End of Civilization?
Am I being too harsh? Maybe. Then again, maybe this whole pink pineapple thing is a symptom of a much larger problem. We're so obsessed with novelty, with appearance, with fleeting trends, that we've completely lost touch with what's real. What's authentic. What actually matters.
I mean, think about it. We're tweaking the very DNA of fruit just to make it...pink? What's next? Blue bananas? Purple avocados? Are we just gonna keep messing with nature until we've turned the whole world into some kind of artificial Instagram filter?
Just Another Way to Fleece the Masses
I'm calling it. This is peak stupidity. It's a marketing gimmick disguised as a "trend." It’s a way for corporations to exploit our obsession with social media and our willingness to pay exorbitant prices for things we don't need. And honestly...I’m kinda sick of it.
