Nice try conspiracy guy.

The tops fell victim to schmucks in the store who think you can figure out how ripe a fruit is by plucking the center leaves from the top.
I've seen one guy ruin 10 tops in less than a minute by snatching leaf after leaf until he found a sufficiently ahem.. ripe... fruit .
Nice try with your theory, but wrong....at least from the pineapples I had.
Nobody pulled the center leaves from any, they were all cut flat across down inside the crown. You can see in the my second picture that the center leaves were all cut flat and straight across. Brand new small undamaged growth in the center, two taller ones have damaged tips, the ones at 9 o'clock and 5 o'clock were cut flat, the ones just outside of those two.....cut flat across. Sorry I dont have a "before" picture, but I know a flat bottom hole when I see one.
