> Something special just for Christmas!!!

I, too, am going somewhere special for Christmas.  Europe, but's that all I'll say. 

What are "Maui Gold" pineapples?  I like pineapple - should I order some?

Marketing scam. But people like them.

The prices make no sense; one pineapple is $40, but for $7 more you can have two, and for $100 you can have four  

I will order two and see what the fuss is about.

You might want to be sure that you're ordering from the MAUI GOLD site, not a knockoff that fools the not too smart.

I used to go to Europe for Christmas.
The weather was dreary, I would sleep until noon all jet-lagged then it got dark @ 4pm anyway cuz the pesky solstice.
New Years Eve in Paris was fun, nice dinner & fireworks and the sparkly Eiffel Tower. But Paris has now cancelled NYE festivities cuz Muslims.
Strasbourg was nice, the street Christmas markets were still in full swing, but the markets are cautious cuz Muslims.

Most pineapples come from Lanai or south america.

Yes, there is a lot of scammy marketing just like everything else in the USA     It's how we roll.   How you respond to it, and if you can recognize it and understand it is up to you.

Then don't buy any.

I bought two for my wife a couple years ago just because. I am sure I saw a ad. Receipt was posted above. Wouldn’t buy them again. Good. But not worth the price.

That's fine.   I'm getting it for a gathering of family and friends to celebrate Christmas, with a taste they all know and love.   I don't think any of the factors apply to you.
