Actually, Sheldon's right. A pineapple needs to be ripe when picked or it
just kind of sits and rots. It *does* and *will* turn more golden in color,
but the texture of the fruit starts to get mushy. Why? It's starting to
rot.

There's nothing better in the world, seriously, then being in a car behind a
truck of freshly picked pineapple. GOD! I miss that! The fragrance is way
better than any aphrodesiac!
