I think we should push this idea and make it a bigger trend!
Upside-down pineapple is a symbol for partner-swapping in some circles, so this post is kinda funny! But why upside down? I always figured it’s just easier to handle that way. Any experts in swinging history who can clarify?
So, pineapples have long been a symbol of hospitality. It apparently goes back centuries, maybe even Roman times. At some point in the ‘60s or ‘70s, the upside-down pineapple became a symbol for turning traditional norms upside down—basically signaling that you’re into partner swapping. It stuck around and now it’s a thing.
But honestly, it could just be an urban legend that took off.
The Romans didn’t have pineapples.
Okay, I was just speculating, clearly didn’t do my homework here. No need to take me too seriously—I’m just tossing out random theories.
Anyway, it’s not like we’re talking about scholarly stuff, this is about pineapples and swinging. Let’s not get too caught up in semantics.
This reminds me of a scene from a movie. But yeah, pineapples have been symbols of wealth and royalty too, so they’ve been used by various groups.
Haha, that’s exactly the scene I thought of! You’re the best, thanks for the link.
This guy’s definitely a swinger.
There’s a part of Texas where people show blue pottery to signal they’re swingers. Keep an eye out for the ‘blue pot’ crowd.
These comments are wild! But I love the idea, OP. We need more people growing crops and less time spent on Twitter and TikTok. Imagine how much better the world would be!
But was it though?! Life back in the day was rough! America before electricity wasn’t exactly easy. /s mostly
I don’t think OP meant we should go back to the days of serfdom! 
True! Though phones these days can feel pretty toxic.
Ahh, the upside-down pineapple strikes again! 
Why not both?
The funny part is, only people who actually grow stuff know how long it takes to get a pineapple like that. Would be a great Tinder photo just for that reason!
That’s a solid point.
Hold crops and fish.
That’s the aquaponics life!
