First, let me start off by saying I LOVE this thread. I just spent the last two days reading every post, before posting for myself (had to make sure I didn't repeat anything, right?)
Here's one of my favourite drinks. I LOVE the stuff, and it's worth the half hour drive to get to the supermarket that sells them (Ah, Japanese supermarkets, so much fun stuff. And I SWEAR, every time I walk into any supermarket, I exclaim "I spotted the pineapple!")
When I saw this, I bought like six of 'em. I LOVE Ramune. It's the only soda I actually drink. Doesn't burn like normal soda. AND IT COMES IN PINEAPPLE!!!!

YAY! welcome to the thread (even though it seems like i'm the only one who posts here sometimes)

and hooray for Japanese soda! I've actually had that kind ...with the weird top? I have not had it in Pineapple though. I think it may be time for me to make a trip to Ko-Mart (yes that is what it is called)
while i'm making the trip though here is something else -

and we thought Shawn loved Pineapple -
As celebrity weddings go, it's one of the wackiest (and, er, sweetest) you're ever likely to see.
German pop star Ramma Damma, aka Ulli Hopper, decided to get married – to a pineapple.
Picking up his bride for about £8 – he wanted one who wasn't cheap – he drove her across the Scottish border to Gretna Green in a Jaguar covered in green AstroTurf.
There he and the pineapple – which he affectionately named Tippi – were wed before returning to his home in Munich.
'We drove through the night – it was a fun away wedding, not a runaway wedding,' he said.
'I loved her. I wanted to marry her. We stayed in Gretna Green Hall Hotel and we were married by a craftsman wearing a kilt.
'We enjoyed meals out. We would go to restaurants and she would enjoy a glass of water over dinner.
'Tippi loved to go to the movies – especially ones about earthquakes – and she would sit on my lap when she got scared.'
Now in case you were wondering why you've never heard of Hopper, this all happened 38 years ago.
But although Tippi has long since departed, the union has borne fruit.
Today, Hopper is known as the Green Rebel in Munich, where he runs the only 'plant sanctuary' in Germany, accommodating 300 indoor plants.
The 65-year-old is almost completely self-sufficient, even making his own stinging nettle spaghetti or brewing plum cider in a 230-litre bin.
'I will defend every plant,' he said. 'They are the wonders of our world – we just to need to listen to them.'WOW ...that's all i have to say.
