Watch: In this country, people are ditching dating apps & finding love with pineapples¡ªhere's all about the hilarious dating trend
Spain's youth are getting creative with romance, ditching dating apps for a unique supermarket trend involving pineapples and other groceries. Curious? Check out how this quirky method is changing the dating game!
A viral Instagram video reveals that Spain's youth are ditching dating apps in favour of, well, pineapples, lettuces, and lentils. Yes, you heard that right¡ªthese young romantics are getting creative with their dating lives, and their methods are as specific as they are quirky. Confused? Let's dive into this peculiar trend and see what all the fuss is about!
Check out this video about how pineapples are changing the dating game in Spain:
Content creator Ana G. has shared about a wild new trend in Spain that's swapping Tinder and Bumble for something much more...fruitful.
Instead of swiping right, single Spaniards are heading to a specific supermarket chain called Mercadona between 7 and 8 PM. And no, this isn't a bizarre grocery store sale¡ªit's the latest dating craze!
So, how does one find love in the supermarket? It's all about the pineapple.

According to Ana, singles seeking their soulmate grab a pineapple and flip it upside down in their shopping cart. They then head to the wine aisle, and if they spot someone with an upside-down pineapple in their cart too, it's time for a cart collision! They quite literally crash into the cart of the chosen love.
But wait, there's more! If you're looking for a long-term relationship, people go for lentils¡ªbecause, as Ana puts it, "lentils last forever in your pantry." For a one-night stand, though, lettuce is your go-to since it's bound to wilt quickly.
We always knew real-life romance could be more charming than online dating, but this? It's definitely not what we had in mind when we said we wanted old-school romance back!
How did people react?
In the comments, hilarity ensued.
One wrote, "There's some very confused person who's just trying to buy some lettuce and a pineapple and a bottle of wine and doesn't know why they keep getting crashed into."
Another confirmed the pineapple trend: "I was just in Spain and this is for real. Way to go, Mercadona- impressive marketing strategy!"
A third pointed out, "Mercadona exists in Portugal too, so people started doing it there as well."
Another simply said, "This is so much more healthy than dating apps."
Well, if finding love means shopping for pineapples, lentils, and lettuces, it's definitely a healthy approach to romance!
