History of pineapples. People used to rent them to give the impression that they were wealthy.
"The pineapple made its way to England in the 17th century and by the 18th century, being seen with one was an instant indicator of wealth — a single pineapple could cost the equivalent of $8,000 today. In fact, the fruit was so desirable and rare that consumers often rented a pineapple for the night to show off to fellow party-goers."
In the 18th Century, Pineapples Were a Symbol of Wealth and Power
