D’oh!
Australian scientists have created a pineapple that tastes like a coconut. It took them ten years to develop, but the fruit dubbed as the “piña colada pineapple” wasn’t exactly what they were trying to create.
Scientists, from a government agency in Queensland, were initially trying to develop a new variety of a sweeter, juicier pineapple but instead, created a coconut flavored one and now call it the AusFestival.
I just noticed that both words in the title are combinations of two types of vegetation. Sort of like Palmolive™.
Oddly, I used to add a shot of rum to a can of pineapple Crush and could swear I could taste coconut in it too.
My head hurts just thinking about pina coladas. The two times I was convinced to drink them, I hurt myself. It just doesn’t taste like there’s any liquor in there, and that’s an invitation to pain.
Or at least it used to be when I was WAY younger.
Long Island Ice Tea was my poison in that department.
In regards to the article, wow.. these are the once proud scientists that made this country habitable?
I guess this is what happens when you try to grow scientists from convict ‘seeds’.
Much better to grow them from slave owner seeds?
