I'm new to spotting the pineapple..even thought i've watched the show a lot, ive never noticed hehe. Does it have to be a real pineapple or even a picture or something? Maybe his swim trunks had pineapples on them?
The pineapple doesn't have to be a real pineapple... before it's been part of a lamppost or on a shirt, even a pineapple smoothie, I believe once they filmed a can of pineapple juice, but the scene was cut. Once it was a large tissue paper 3-D pineapple hanging off of a blow-up palm tree (though coconuts, not pineapples, are found on that type of looking tree).
They often have the real pineapple too, sometimes just sitting on a counter in the background... other times it is front and center, often being given as a gift (pineapples are a sign of hospitality).
However, despite that, I really don't believe there was a pineapple in "Six Feet Under The Sea" because TPTB are well aware of the pineapple runner and have taken advantage of it by making spotting it a contest on the USA website for this past season. Given that they announced that the contest is restarting, not with the first episode of the second half of the season, but with the second episode (this coming Friday), I take it to mean that "There was no pineapple" isn't a very exciting answer for the first week (though that has previously been the answer). I expect there to be one this week, so keep your eyes peeled.
