 * If you're playing Trivial Pursuit from 1981, more than half of those questions (and answers) no longer apply. Viriditas (talk) 21:32, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

United States production numbers
These numbers don't make any sense. There's no way anywhere in the US is producing more than a 50-100 million pineapples a year (which is what my conversion shows, and that could be off). My guess is that those numbers represent US companies producing pineapples outside of the US. The last functioning pineapple plantation in Hawaii is currently producing less than 4 million pineapples a year, which I think is an optimistic number. I suspect the actual number is half that.

 * Thinking about this further, how in the world do they get 168,322 tonnes in 2022 for US production? That isn't happening in the US.  Hawaii production alone is less than 10,000 tonnes.  So where is the 158,000 coming from?  Are my numbers off? The only way this makes any sense is if it applies only to US companies not to the region.  So yes, US companies are producing 158,000 tonnes outside the US, which defeats the entire purpose of the dataset. Viriditas (talk) 21:45, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
