$400 pineapples

Luxury Fruit is apparently a thing in America

Let's say you could spend $400 one food or drink. Just one. Crazy right?

Maybe you pick caviar, or visit a steakhouse. You could drink high end wine, champagne or scotch. 

Or you could do what some people told CNN: blow it on a single pineapple.

It's called the Rubyglow, known for its red skin and sweet taste. It costs 3-hundred 95 bucks  at Melissa's Produce in California. It took Del Monte, 15 years to make it. They were a hit in Asia And they're apparently selling well the America as are other luxury fruits: including apples, grapes, and even strawberries. With a twist of course. 

All this in the shadow of a shaky economy. High end produce experts… yes they apparently exist.. say  there’s always a small market for this kind of food at  high-end restaurants and among foodies. Hmm.

As you might have guessed I'm not one of these people. Other generations split the atom, put a man on the moon and a computer in every pocket and this is what we do with our collective brain power?

So, what do you think? Would you spend that much on a pineapple? Let me know in the comments and support my work at jamesbrowntv dot substack dot com.
