Pineapples and Citrus Fruits

[Shawnee123]

I suspect it's more lumping acidic fruits together. Most acidic fruits people know are citrus - oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruit...

But you are correct. And I knew it. But I'd have had to look up the word bromeliad.

Or pulpy fruits. How do pineapple bear NO resemblance to citrus? Pulp. Acid. Juicy. Fibrous. Core. Only thing different is the exterior and we know not to judge a fruit by its cover.

Because seriously, citrus is a word we all know. I wasn't taught they were bromeliad and citrus is such a nice citrusy word. I would think of pineapple as a citrus due to pulp and acid and an inedible exterior.

You don't hear about Bromeliad air fresheners with the power of Pineapple.

So I learned something completely new today.

Eggs? Dairy? No. They're just eggs.

So it's not a cultural thing. Has anyone else heard that macdonalds ad? Has anyone else heard of people thinking the were citrus fruit? Apart from Shawnee, who gets a pass 'cause she's special. maybe it's an ohiaiaiaian thing. isn't it weird how Hawaiian and Ohiaiaian sound similar and yet.....

Ohhaihaian. It's a little known fact that Ohio was originally an Hawaiian island. No one thinks that because we don't have the same pulp or the acidic value. Some people actually think we're 'midwesterners.' HA!
