What you can do with pineapples

While Australia’s early season for pineapples has seen fruit rotting in piles while the Golden Circle cannery is closed over the Christmas season, a different sort of pineapple crisis has been going on in Spain and Portugal.

There, police have seized 745 kg of cocaine hidden in wax-covered cylinders inserted into pineapples in a shipment from Latin America. Apparently the Iberian police have arrested nine people and broken a Colombian-led international smuggling ring.
