Seriously, someone in the purchasing department needs to be sacked.

That looks like the best deal asda have had since they had those 3 foot garden gnomes in!

they looked like easter eggs at first glance, they’d be quite exciting if they were chocolate, with the leafy bits, or actual gold.

it’s that really a golden plastic pineapple? I mean, does it serve any function?

Well, what else are you going to put next to the ‘golden plastic parrot perched on a log’ on the sideboard?

hmm, I suppose so

the basis for a mtb event if ever i saw one ‘the golden pineapple hunt’ the winner is the one who returns with the most pinapples stuffed down his/her shorts or up their jersey

Worst thing is, someone was looking at them as a potential purchase as I took a picture!

We had a mahoosive plastic pineapple (but in “realistic” colours) when I was a kid – for keeping ice cubes. It was horrific. 😆 The seventies were fun.

I actually have quite a soft spot for those and keep a look out every time I pass a charity shop

Ah, you too then chambord? With the glass bowl inside?

Is it not an Angry Birds thing?

There is only one thing worse than buying a golden pineapple, and that’s…yup you guessed…taking a picture of a golden pineapple 😛

taking a picture of a golden pineapple

You make it sound like I didn’t look like a lunatic. I can assure you I did.

I’m sure they will be used for, ahem, ‘pleasure’…

They’d have looked good………………………….

In the 70’s?

Where do I sign up? 😀 Good luck explaining that one to British Cycling, it took us a while to get the idea of a Chainless across to them.

OT, but still on the broad subject of fruit. Do people still have wax fruit in their fruit bowls instead of that inconvenient edible fruit or has that gone out of fashion now? Did anyone ever take a bite of a wax apple before they realised?

With the glass bowl inside?

I’ve only ever seen them with a melamine bowl.

My Grandma used to have marzipan fruit.

Awful.

lol @ Jamie 😀

And you didn’t ask them what they were planning on doing with it? 🙄

apparently those big asda gnomes for 25 quid or something sold in their quintillions and were a great sales push,I mean serious money! **** knows who bought them though. People are daft.
