I never understood the whole pineapple = Hawaii link. Yes yes, I have heard of Dole and it's pineapple fields, geesh I was born and raised in Hawaii. That being said, I do not know of one single person while growing up in Hawaii who put a pineapple on a burger and said that it tasted good. I'm sorry but for me, pineapple does not equal to Hawaii. Sigh. I laughed everytime I saw an ad for the Teriyaki burger from Carl's Jr. (shown above) or the huge Maui Zaui pizza from Round Table. I mean have you seen the commercial? It's so lame. I wonder if they show it in Hawaii. It's so insulting.
I'm not saying that adding a pineapple to a burger with teriyaki sauce or putting pineapple on pizza does not taste good (though I'm not saying it's delicious as well), all I'm saying is stop with the Hawaii association. I mean there are other things Hawaii is noted for ... the weather, the beaches, the people, the seafood, fresh fruit and produce, etc ... Marketing/advertising people, let's work on finding something else we can put on a burger or pizza ... how about poi?
