Using pineapples to find love?

As part of the TikTok craze, Spanish singles have been drawn to branches of the chain Mercadona where it is claimed they can find romance if they visit between 7pm and 8pm and put a pineapple upside down in their trolley.

A social media craze in Spain where people are encouraged to seek out prospective partners in supermarkets with the help of pineapples has led to some chaotic scenes.

In the city of Bilbao, northern Spain, police were reportedly called by workers after a flash mob of hopeful singles packed a Mercadona store and "overwhelmed" it. The crowd quickly dispersed when officers arrived, and no one was arrested in the incident.

People are then encouraged to go to the wine aisle to find others with the same fruit in the same position. If they like someone, they bump their trolley against theirs, indicating they are interested in chatting to them. If the feeling is mutual, they can bump back, or just start talking.

On its official TikTok account, the supermarket chain has addressed the craze, posting a pineapple with the caption: "The pineapple on the shelf of Mercadona waiting for you to get a date." The craze has gained so much traction that pineapples have apparently become scarce in some stores.

Ice flowers in Norway
