With that ultra-thick skin, spiny leaves and body, and generally awkward shape, pineapples, no matter how delicious you think they are, are usually not worth the hassle of buying fresh and whole in the supermarket. Especially when there are plenty of pre-cut or canned varieties. The only problem is no type of pre-packaged pineapple tastes as good as one that is completely fresh.
Even if you try to cut a fresh pineapple, it often leads to disaster. Trying to get that skin off and the juicy fruit out can end up making your pineapple look more like it exploded or crash-landed than that you actually cut the fruit. Juice gets everywhere, half the meat is wasted, and what you did manage to cut comes out in uneven chunks. Not appealing, and not as tasty.
