odd - the ones I "ripen" on the counter turn from light green to yellow then
to yellow with brown in the edges - and that looks just the same as the ones
I get from the fields and stands in Hawaii. (And my palate is excellent)

Apparently when an apple turns from green to yellow on my counter, that is
ripening, but when a pineapple turns from green to yellow on my counter,
that is not ripening - it is "othering"

Please cite the "authority" that states a pineapple does not ripen once
picked - (and please, not the Dole
marketing-of-canned-pineapple-you-can't-get-any-better-than-canned-BS
department pap put out for foppish haulis)
