Random question. (Brace yourself.)
Do pineapples float in water? Like, a whole pineapple? They would sink, wouldn’t they?
I was discussing the matter of SpongeBob Squarepants’ residence with a co-worker. It happens to be a pineapple at the bottom of the sea.
Obviously he couldn’t live in a coconut, because coconuts float. As do apples. And very small rocks.
But what about pineapples? Pineapple rings don’t float in pineapple juice. But presumably, pineapple juice would have different buoyancy properties than water. Wouldn’t it?
I’m afraid I may be inclined to obtain a pineapple this weekend and chuck it in my bathtub. At which time I will be forced to admit to myself that I am LEGALLY INSANE.
If you happen to know the answer to this question, please help a girl out and let me know so I can put this baby to bed and move on to other perplexing life matters....
Such as who keeps squeezing my poor bananas? When I leave them sitting out on my desk at night. Vexing, I tell you! I suspect the non-cleaning cleaning people. Underhanded banana squeezers!

I found this is in an article about pineapple farming in Hawaii: Part of the processing involves submerging the bins in a tank of lightly chlorinated water. The pineapples that float go to the fresh line; those that sink are sent to the cannery. So I guess SB's pineapple is one that should've gone to the butcher!
