Reminds me of that kid who kept getting "potato sweats" and was like "Man, I love potatoes, but I just hate getting them potato sweats" and all their friends were like "Uhh, no, that's not a thing"
Lol I had this with bananas. Was talking to a friend, went something like "Hey, you know how bananas make your mouth all tingly?" "...What? No they don't"
This is why we're keeping reddit after the revolution. People need a forum to vent about how obnoxious it is that pears make your cheeks puffy so people can tell them "It's not supposed to do that you have an allergy.
Yeah it's pretty good for that, and the guy who posted about weird things happening around his place and a commenter correctly diagnosing the issue as a carbon monoxide leak.
If you were to sit and eat like a pound or more of raw, fresh pineapple it absolutely would give you chemical burns unless you took precautions like washing your mouth out with water frequently. The bromelain in it breaks down the protective lining in your mouth and the acidity of the juice starts dissolving the now-unprotected flesh, but you really have to just be completely soaked in it for a while for that to happen.
Smaller quantities and pineapple that's cooked, mixed into other foods, or that's even just been sitting in the fridge for a few days doesn't have the same effect.
I am the white person who doesn't like spicy food :shrug-outta-hecks:
If food hurts your mouth you're not supposed to eat it
Counterpoint: Pineapple
You're supposed to take the spiky parts off before you eat it.
You can leave them on if you're not eating it and are a little pain piggy
:volcel-judge: Do NOT put the fruit in your ass.
The fruit's going to end up in your ass either way though.
pineapple suppository
I meant pooping.
I know
Pineapple juice has an enzyme called bromelin that breaks down meat, the inside of your mouth is also made out of meat
Wait seriously? I thought it was just really acidic. That's wild.
Yeah, it's a really effective meat tenderizer for that reason
The food that eats you back
me with chapped lips and an acidic hole forming through my tongue: one more sweet yellow circle please
I once ate an entire pineapple as a meal
Core and all
God my mouth hurt that day
I have also had that highdea and learned the price
Pineapple: The fruit that digests you!
I always thought that pineapple was supposed to make me all itchy and sweaty and red but it turns out I’m actually just allergic to pineapple

Would Reddit actually be ok, sans capitalism? It might be possible

Pineapple doesn't hurt me when I eat it
You're doing it wrong
If y'all are getting hurt when you eat it then it sure doesn't sound like I'm the one doing anything wrong
Wrong.
:le-pol-face:
Pineapple contains enzymes that break down muscle tissue. That's part of why it's so great for marinating meat.

Yeah I just eat normal human amounts of it at a time
The pain feels good though.
