a national prank in UK

This is an advert you'd see in most major newspaper in UK around April, 2009. (I know this is a bit not up-to-date, but you'll know the reason...)

Waitrose, one of the biggest supermarket chain in UK, introduced a new fruit, pinana. You can tell from the name and the picture that it's a hybrid between pineapples and bananas. I was so interested in this. We've got loads of hybrid fruits in Taiwan, and they normally taste a lot better than the originals. Aberdeen, the city I'm living in, however, doesn't have Waitrose. The nearest Waitrose is in Edinburgh, which takes 2 and half hours to go by train. So I gave up.

This morning I was booking the train ticket to Edinburgh for my Schengen visa application. I realised that this is the chance I could finally try the legendary fruit. I googled this pinana thing again to make sure Waitrose has still got them. And I found it's just an April Fool prank. TWO MONTHS, I've no idea I've got pranked for the past two months....

Hope you enjoy my stupidity.

I don't know the reason, but I feel the fruit is kind of..... masculine... :shock:
Send one back to Taiwan...
I want to give it a try.

Well, I'd like to ship some of that amazing thing back to Taiwan for you guys, but it's just a practical joke, such fruit doesn't exist... What a shame.
