World of Ease

Posts Tagged ‘pineapples’

The state of Hawaii is famous for a lot of things, and many of its claims to fame are based on an idea of the place that was created in the 1950s. It’s much more eclectic than the island paradise that it’s presented as, although it is certainly this, too. There is always more than meets the eye in Hawaii, and it’s one of the truly spectacular places to discover in the world. One of its great symbols, the pineapple , is an invention from the earlier part of the 20th century.

Not that they don’t grow here, they certainly do, but Del Monte stopped the production here because of cheaper conditions elsewhere. It wasn’t really native to the place if one goes back four generations. Still, there’s nothing lovelier than being greeted with the images of pineapples , and that’s the kind of welcome that five star Hawaii hotels can always provide. It is a symbol of hospitality, and it’s become a very famous icon in just a short amount of time. It’s had a place in world culture for a long time, but as a symbol of the state, it’s been very brief. But the climate is right, and not just in terms of a sense of welcome, the physical climate is also perfect, and they grow here very well. The place also has a way of nurturing people as well.
