Spanish Grocers Are Using Produce To Find Romance

Singles in Spain are hopping on a new trend, and they’re shopping for more than groceries! Between 7 and 8 P.M., hopeful shoppers head to the Mercadona market and place a pineapple upside down in their cart. This serves as a signal to other singles in the store that they’re open to chat…and maybe more. But why are young people turning to the pineapple scheme instead of online dating? “I think maybe because people spend a lot of time just talking on the app, that might be the reason of people getting bored,” Barcelona resident Fan said. “But if we do it in the supermarket, you can talk face to face.” (Fortune)
