Anyone have any idea what it is? Has happened to you? I will be returning it to the store. Seems like this sort of thing happens more & more lately. The last mangos & papayas I purchased didn't smell/taste right either... Re: "Chemical" smelling pineapple

Date: June 17, 2010 09:46PM Supposed to be organic...and, it does have the yellow-gold color that ripe pineapples are supposed to have. This is the first pineapple that I can recall being like this.
The store already knows me as "the guy who returns the "pink inside" coconuts", so I really hate to return another piece of produce...they will start to wonder about me...being too picky... Re: "Chemical" smelling pineapple

Did you tell the stockboy, or whoever, when you returned the pink coconut, "A young coconut that's pink on the inside is rotting"? You know more than they do, you know : ) Re: "Chemical" smelling pineapple

Date: June 18, 2010 08:54AM It being golden yellow on the outside actually has nothing to do with a pineapple being ripe, more often than not that golden yellow color on the outside is caused by it being gassed, pineapples can be completely green on the outside, yet completely ripe on the inside, or under ripe, and smell and feel ripe, but actually be under ripe inside because they where gassed to make them look more ripe...
