I've either had an incredible run of luck which is now catching up to me, or the pineapples right now are punk. Four in a row, four different stores (2 Costco's, 1 HEB, 1 Super Target), I've managed to pick and buy four rotten pineapples! At an average of $3.50 a pop, that's four gallons of gasoline I could have bought instead. And trying to return them? I'd burn the refund money in gas and tolls. For now I'll stick with blueberries and raspberries in my smoothies instead.
