Coconut-flavored pineapple

Some scientists alter genes and breed 
glow in the dark puppies, others breed
 pineapples that also taste like coconut,
 like Australian horticulturalists at 
Queensland’s department of agriculture.
The fruit of their 10 years labor of love was 
quickly dubbed the “piña colada pineapple” 
by the press, since it tastes like the two main
 ingredients of the famous beverage. What’s 
remarkable is that the scientists reached this
 unique flavor by mistake.
Queensland, Australia produces more than 80,000
 tons of pineapples a year, still the country imports 
a lot more because of competing imports that are 
cheaper and tastier. Commissioned by the 
government to breed a new generation 
of pineapples that are sweeter and easier to grow,
 the horticulturalists ended up with a unique blend
 that far exceeded their expectations.
