"the crown was cut off to help grow the next batch"

No. They do that so no one else can grow their proprietary pineapple.

"It doesn't taste as good and it's pink for Instagram. It's annoying me." 2:02 🤣🤣Oh god James I missed you so so much. Never change.

I'm so glad that James is back to keep the boys in check, over the years they've been reluctant to call out pretentiousness.

[groofay]

The naked disdain on James's face the instant Instagram is mentioned is just priceless.

[Anna_TravelsByRail]

Can we all agree that as soon as the word Instagram is used in the marketing description of something, it’s pretentious by default? 😅

"It's not pretentious. It's a pineapple" just a few hundred years ago this would have been the poshest thing ever all on it's own.
Rich people would be renting pineapples to display them at parties. Aristocrats would invest alot of money to cultivate pineapple on their estates. Kings and Noblemen would gift pineapples to each other...

I love how Kush and Ben left and couldn't leave the normals alone that long so brought back James

[cakeorrdeath]

corrections in vids like this actually give me more confidence the channel is doing its due diligence.

Alberto and Tonini 😂😂 that had me rolling on the ground

[kateh]

I love watching James get annoyed over pretentious ingredients, I’ve missed this 😋

[Sanguinis]

I've missed James so much, glad to see him back on the channel more regularly. A powerful personality that leaves a room emptier when he leaves than before he entered.

[carnifaxx]

I didn't realize how much I like James, until he became a precious guest. I would just gladly watch him doing nothing in particular or listen to him reading a phone book, to be honest :D

They cut the top off the pineapple so they protect their IP with the composition of the pineapple - now you can't plant it and grow them yourself for free (if you happened to be in a place that is hospitable for growing pineapples, of course). They can spin it however they want.

[cliostronk]

Every pretentious ingredient needs a James to bring them back to earth

[keirmccleave]

I love watching James and Mike together because James looks like he would be Mike's evolved form if he were a Pokemon.

[fuirgofromtwitch]

the pineapple had the whole stem removed becaused it is the intellectual property of del monte.(the website says what you guys said but the legal documents go deeper) So you can't grow a new plant from it. If you find a seed and it germinates you are lucky, but you can't sell the fruit that it grows.

[indianjudgie]

Jamie needs some love for always being so jolly and happy. Making everyone’s day better

[heatherholzhaus]

Mike's commentary on the wine at the end was a delight.

I'm so happy James is here for multiple videos

[Rolandais]

They also take off the top, because Del Monte have a patent on the pineapple, and by taking off the top, it stops *you* the person who bought it, from growing your own, instead of paying the insane price if you ever want a second one.
