Well, WOW on pineapples and all of the other amazing facts you find! I shall have more respect for those little devils when I see them.
Yes, they were a sign of wealth back then. Now they are delicious to eat. 🙂
To rent one? Incredible idea. But I remember I read once about the relation between this fruit and the
pineal gland. There are many ideas related, that should be checked.
But anyway, I love pineapple. Thank you for the reminder!
Happy WW, dear Sandee! Hugs and love!❤️😘
I love pineapple too. I’d eat it not display it. Happy day and rest of the week, my friend. Love and hugs. 🙂
I imagine it was quite “the thing” to have a pineapple (and expensive too!) on the table. They are rather “other planet-like” in appearance aren’t they. They’re also delicious!!
Hugs, Pam and Teddy
I love a good pineapple. I’d eat it, not show it off. Happy day and rest of the week. Love and hugs to you and lots of scritches to handsome Teddy. 🙂
Linda imagem e gostei das curiosidades interessantes! beijos, tudo de bom,chica
Glad you enjoyed this, Chica. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
Wow – who knew! You sure do find the best stuffs, Miss Sandee!
I try real hard to find interesting things for WW. Have a woof woof day and rest of the week, Duke. My best to your mom. 🙂
I had no idea. How interesting that they would rent a pineapple.
Just to show off their wealth. I guess folks do that in their own way today. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
What interests information. Makes one wonder how they ever discovered the fruit. Hard to grow in their climate and travel distance not fresh friendly.
Thank you for hosting!
All the best.
I don’t know how they knew about pineapples, but they did and the rich wanted one to show off. Happy day and rest of the week, Debra. 🙂
I don’t think a rent a pineapple would go over as a business these days. Now everything is pretty much available with all the shipping methods.
No it wouldn’t happen today, but the mode of transportation made this a thing. Scritches to the pups. 🙂
Wow! What a cool fact find. And to rent one – who knew! Happy Wednesday!
I didn’t know. What a waste of money though. I’d rather eat the pineapple. Happy Wednesday, Eugenia. 🙂
That’s crazy. Renting a fruit. Nice status but I’d want to eat it. 🤣😎🙃
I would eat it too. Happy day and rest of the week, my friend. 🙂
They make an impressive centerpiece, don’t they? But I don’t think I would have rented one if I had able to afford it.
I know I wouldn’t rent one. I love a good pineapple though. I’ll eat the whole thing. 🙂
That’s pretty wild, I didn’t know that!
What people would do to show off. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
That’s fascinating! Pineapples as status symbols. 😃 Thanks for sharing that interesting bit of history, Sandee, and for hosting WW. 🌹
It is most interesting. Happy day and rest of the week, Debbie. Thanks for playing along. 🙂
I had never heard that, very interesting. Thanks for hosting. Have a nice day. XO
I didn’t know either and yes it’s interesting. Happy day and rest of the week. Scritches to the kitties and a big hug to you. 🙂
We never knew that!
So far only one commenter knew about this. Happy Wednesday. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
Another great piece of knowledge today!!
What people will do to show off. Happy day and rest of the week. Scritches to the pups. 🙂
Another thing that I learned today!
I had no idea about this either. Happy day and rest of the week. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
Pineapples and tulips too, at one point, did mean wealth.
With tulips fortunes were gained and later lost.
Amazing really.
I didn’t know about the tulips. Very interesting. Happy Wednesday. 🙂
Pineapples must have been a very exotic treat back then to command such a high price.
They were. Getting them from the tropics to the cold took so long the pineapples went bad. 🙂
Knew that but good to hear again ~ Hugs ^_^
Hugs and love from me and Ziggy ~ ^_^
You’re one of a very few that knew this. Happy day and rest of the week. Love and hugs to you and Ziggy. 🙂
I love you my Precious Wife. Your Loving Husband.
I love you my most wonderful husband. 🙂
I wonder if they actually ate them (their loss if not) or just used them as centerpieces….(I love, love, love the tasty juicyness of pinapples!)
Just used them for centerpieces for as long as they could. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week, Amy. 🙂
Good googly gook I had no IDEA about Pineapples
You find the most amazing WW info
Hugs x 4

Wednesday’s are for learning things we don’t even need to know. It’s fun though. Love and hugs, my friend. 🙂
Wow, I had no idea they were ‘rented.’ What a fascinating tidbit…no wonder Dole saw a great opportunity to make money on the Hawaiian Islands. Happy mid-week, dear Sandee.
I had no idea either. Looks like those that were renting them did very well. Love and hugs to you and lots of scritches to handsome Wilson. 🙂
Interesting info. I can’t imagine renting a pineapple.
Happy Wednesday!
I can’t imagine it either. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week, Yvonne. 🙂
I wonder how many times a pineapple could be rented. Was it a profitable investment? I did not know this info about pineapples. Thanks for the lesson!
Looks like the folks that rent them were doing very well. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
Good morning, Sandee. Thank you for this #WW party. Enjoy your week.
Amazing, pineapples to rent ….
My shares: #44+45
We now have three Linkies: SSPS, TFT & #WW. Hope you link up.
I can’t imagine paying that much to rent a pineapple so I can flaunt my wealth. Happy WW and rest of the week. 🙂
I never knew this! How fascnating!
iI did read once that the pineapple once signified “welcome” and was incorporated into designs as such.
I didn’t know this either. Happy WW and rest of the week, Pat. 🙂
If I ever get a chance to time-travel to that era, I’ll take a bunch of pineapples along and open a rental business.
I wonder what things we spent a lot of money on today that will seem amazing to people three hundred years from now.
You’re a smart one. You could make a fortune in no time. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
Think of all of the times you’ve notice pineapples in fireplace surrounds, and maybe you thought they were really pinecones.
But nope, pineapples!
Hmm…I want some pineapple now…
You’re right about that. They were indeed a sign of wealth. Happy day and rest of the week. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
Dear Sandee, I absolutely love this image!!! Perfect for this theme, it speaks so well! Thank you so much for sharing, and thanks as well for adding my blog link to your post today. I really appreciate you.
I hope you are having a wonder filled week!
You’re most welcome. I love your uplifting posts. You can link up anytime you want. 🙂
Wow amazing fact, Thanks a lot for sharing.
You’re most welcome. It is an amazing fact. Happy Wednesday. 🙂
That’s an amazing fact, Sandee…”u you can’t touch this” 😹 Glad those days are over, we love pineapples🍍Double Pawkisses for a wonderful day and week ahead to you, Zane and your sweet kitties too. Enjoy! 🐾😽💞
We do, too. It’s a delicious treat. Double Pawkisses to you both and a big hug to Granny. 🙂
Wow, this is such great information. It is amazing how value changes over time. Now, a pineapple is not as expensive, thank goodness.
Thank you for the always wonderful trivia, Sandee
Happy Wordless Wednesday. Peace to you, dear friend.
You’re right about that. I love pineapple. I’m glad you liked this.
Love and hugs, my wonderful friend. 🙂
I like them too. Delicious! Thank you, dear friend. Much love to you!
I knew they were important, but not how important. In the Antebellum South, if you were visiting friends and staying at their home, being given a pineapple meant they’d loved having you but it was time for you to go home!
Scritches to Lil’ Bit and Squeaker from me, and you and Mr. Zane have a blessed week.
I hadn’t heard that one either. There are so many interesting things to learn. Have a great day and rest of the week, my friend. Love and hugs. 🙂
People used to have parties just so people could have a photograph with the pineapple. Some of our iron fence posts from late 1800s and early 1900s have pineapples on the top of the spikes. I will try to remember to take a photo for you. And in Cabaret, the musical not the film, there was a song about how the pineapple the grocer gives her is more precious to her than diamonds or pearls…ha!
I’ve seen pineapples on things before and now we know why. A symbol of wealth. Happy day, my friend. 🙂
What an amazing fact, Sandee! Imagine renting a pineapple just to show off. 🙂
Happy Wednesday to you, Zane, Squeaker and Lil’ Bit!
I can’t imagine doing that. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
Hard to believe pineapples were once more prized than jewels! Renting one just to impress guests sounds wild compared to today when we can enjoy them fresh and juicy anytime. Thanks for the fun history tidbit, Sandee
It is hard to believe. They are in every store anymore and at a reasonable price. Happy day. 🙂
Happy Wordless Wednesday… thank you for sharing and for hosting.
Greetings by Heidrun
Happy day and rest of the week, my friend. 🙂

You’re most welcome, my friend. Have a great weekend. 🙂
Can you imagine renting a piece of fruit? lol That bit of history always fascinates me. I can’t help thinking of that British sitcom “Keeping Up Appearances”. Hugs, my dear.
No I can’t and I could find other ways to spend my money. Happy day and rest of the week. Love and hugs. 🙂
And now we take them for granted! Interesting, Sandee.
We sure do, Keith. They aren’t very expensive either. 🙂
Pineapple, eh?
So, they were swi…never mind.
You made me laugh out loud. Happy day and week. 🙂
OMG!!! No way!!! They cost more than gold… wow, mew’d have to be seriously wealthy then to buy one. If it were us back then, we would have made our own out of papier-mache, painted them real lifelike, sold them as lucky wealth magnets, made a fortune, and bought a country estate!!! MOL MOL Happy Sunday, Sandee, and thank mew as always for adding our links; mew are truly epic! 😻🐾😻🐾😻
You crack me up. I laughed out loud. You’re most welcome for the add. Love and hugs to you and scritches to the kitties. 🙂
