For that AskReddit link, my first thought was PINEAPPLES DON’T GROW ON TREES. I went to Hawaii and stared at a pineapple growing out of the ground, along with the four other people I was traveling with. We all thought we were looking at a lie — so much so that my husband (then my boyfriend) ACTUALLY WENT TO LOOK IT UP ON WIKIPEDIA FROM HIS PHONE WHILE WE WERE STANDING IN FRONT OF IT. I thought maybe we were just particularly stupid, but when I got home and told people, no one believed me.
Hawaiians must laugh at mainlanders all the time.
FACT: PINEAPPLES DON’T GROW ON TREES MEME WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE TIMES ON MEME.
FACT 2: ALL MY FAULT. Though that taught me about how you could grow pineapples at home.
