Comment on Behold, the $400 red pineapple
Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 6 months agoIn godfather 2, one of the crime syndicates trying to set up a stake in the Cuban casinos is a giant fruit company. Knowing that the movie takes inspiration from real organized crime dealings in Cuba at the time, I looked into the fruit companies and their history, and it is one of the most atrocious human rights clusterfucks I’ve ever heard of.

Right? It’s shocking. I only learned about it recently when I started buying pineapples regularly and found out there are only a few companies in the world that produce them. And most if not all of them are incredibly shady and responsible for some truly terrible shit.
