When I lived in Hawaii we ate a lot of fresh pineapple and coconut.  The 
colour of pineapple is different on the inside, the texture, and the taste 
too.  They used to say that one could get a job picking pineapple if you 
could still stand up and walk after putting on 70lbs of protective clothing. 
  Pineapple plants are VERY unfriendly.  Going by pineapple fields at 
harvest time would make you sick from the smell of ripe, over-ripe and 
rotting pineapple.  The pineapple in the States is not nearly as good and I 
also have that whole mouth deal with imported pineapple.
