Alright, here's what I think is a good question for you guys. I was really surprised with the true answer.

I'd answer but it's not a trick question for me.

I have seen them growing in Hawaii and have seen plenty of pictures of how they grow. What kind of surprises me is that how they grow would be considered a trick question. I mean, doesn't everyone know that Sponge Bob Square Pants lives in a Pineapple under the sea? They must come from the ocean.
Proof: Captain: Are you ready kids Kids: Aye Aye Captain. Captain: I can't hear you. Kids: Aye Aye Captain! Captain: OHHHHHHH Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Kids: SpongeBob SquarePants! Captain: Absorbant and yellow and porous is he! Kids: SpongeBob SquarePants! Captain: If nautical nonsense be something you wish! Kids: SpongeBob SquarePants! Captain: Then drop on the deck and flop like a fish! Kids: SpongeBob SquarePants! Captain: Ready? Captain and Kids: SpongeBob SquarePants, SpongeBob SquarePants, SpongeBob SquarePants! Captain: SpongeBob SquarePaaaaannttss!!! Captain: HA HA HA HA !!!! Spongebob: (Whistle)

lol. It's not like I know that song by heart too.
Seriously, me and my wife (hehe it's still strange to say that) both thought that pineapples grow from trees. I thought that it grew from the green part down or something. Then we both saw a pineapple farm and were educated. On the trip, we did see a small tree with a large pineapple-sized and shaped fruit hanging from the center. |

I saw them growing in Nigeria a few years back, I didn't believe it was a Pineapple at first.

Don't they have these (and other tropical fruits) in that one ride at Disney world? I think that's where I knew the answer from...

I guessed the short plant right... but I never would have guessed they grew "upside down"

Only reason I knew was when I was young I remember one of the recycling tips we were told was to replant the tops and a new pineapple would grow... never tried that one though
