Cruise passenger left 'fuming' after discovering why people were flirting with him
A couple have revealed the shocking reason they received so much attention from strangers while they were on a cruise.
In a video shared on his TikTok channel, @prericky, content creator Ricky Bobby explained that he and his partner had recently been on a holiday.
One day during their time on the ship, people kept interacting with him, even physically touching him at some points.
The video features footage of him wearing the shirt, while multiple people approach.
Text superimposed on the screen explains what's going on, from his partner's perspective.
It says: 'Me: Wondering why random plp kept talking to him on our cruise...
'They would walk by sometimes staring at us.
'Even sometimes flirt with us.
'They would whisper things under their breath...'
According to the video, 'all of a sudden,' the couple heard someone say: 'Look at his shirt.'
According to popular culture, clothing featuring pineapples (particularly upside down pineapples) indicate that the wearer is a swinger.
A swinger can be defined as someone who engages in group sex or the swapping of sexual partners.
Swinging is usually confused with polyamory or having an open relationships, but they all fall under the umbrella term of non-monogamy.
Unlike polyamory where people can have more than one committed romantic relationship at a time, swingers only tend to have one at a time.
The association between pineapples and swingers is thought to date back to the 90s and early 2000s.
The TikTok video ended with Ricky being 'p*****' and his partner laughing as 'she knew' the link between pineapples and swinging.
Many of the video's viewers found the situation extremely amusing, with one writing: 'Jus looked up what upside down pineapple means. Howling.'
A number of people responded to the video in the comments section, sharing their thoughts on the situation
Another wrote: 'lol me and my ex didn't know and had matching pineapple shirts on a cruise - we were like people are so nice and keep talking to us.'
Meanwhile another added: 'I mean, I get the upside down pineapple nonsense, but none of the pineapples on his shirt were even upside down.'
A further commentator spoke about making the same mistake as the TikTokker.
They wrote: 'I made the same mistake, I got called out by the comedian on the cruise ship during his show. The rest of the cruise I was called Mr. pineapple shirt. I had no idea...most def threw it in the trash.'
However, another was baffled that people were unaware of the meaning, with one writing: 'How do you take the pineapple shirt on a cruise and not know.'

Princess Andre leaves dad Peter in tears after heartbreaking realisation
Princess Andre has shared her plans for milestone 18th birthday, and what she's got lined up next in her career amidst speculation about a huge TV show She might be only days away from turning 18, but don't expect to see Princess Andre stumbling out of a night club any time soon. The stunning teen, who's celebrating her milestone birthday by posing in a new photo shoot with the Sunday Mirror's Notebook magazine, says she prefers quiet evenings with friends and family to wild parties. 'I'm not really a big drinker or a big party-goer, but it'll be nice to be able to go to pubs and stuff with my friends,' she says. And in what will come as music to the ears of her protective dad, singer Peter Andre, she adds, 'I'm not the sort of person who'd embarrass myself. I'll never put myself in a position that would make me look bad.' That's not to say social media star Princess won't be celebrating her big day in style. Pete and his doctor wife Emily are planning on throwing her a surprise party – and she recently splashed out on a top-of-the-range Audi, after passing her driving test last month. Talking about taking her new motor for a spin with Mysterious Girl legend Pete, she admits the pop star is struggling to come to terms with the idea of his little girl growing up. 'He's so proud and so supportive, but I think it's hard to see your kid get older,' she reveals. 'He was the first person I took for a drive in the new car. We were listening to music and suddenly I heard him sobbing. 'I was like, 'Are you OK?' And he admitted it was weird for him to see me grow up.' Mature beyond her years, Princess is just as level-headed when it comes to discussing her recent split with her boyfriend. 'I'm feeling good. I've always kept my personal life personal, so I don't talk too much about it, but now is the time to focus on me,' says the aspiring singer. 'I want to get my career to exactly where I want it.' Princess has an impressive 1.5 million followers on Instagram and TikTok and is firmly establishing as a name in the showbiz world. Born to two of the UK's biggest reality TV and pop culture icons in Peter and Katie Price, a career in the spotlight was probably always on the cards. Princess has spent her entire life in the public eye - from childhood appearances on Katie & Peter: The Next Chapter to her more recent modelling and brand deals. She already worked with lucrative brands such as Superdrug and PrettyLittleThing, she's also launched her own jewellery line The Sun reports she's even getting her own ITV show for her 18th birthday. The youngster will give fans a behind-the-scenes look at her home life and early modelling career. She hopes fly-on-the-wall series will help launch her catwalk career, it's claimed. *Find the full interview in Sunday Mirror's Notebook magazine. *Princess has a meet and greet at Superdrug, Lakeside Shopping Centre, Thurrock, at 1pm tomorrow.

Kroger's Juneteenth cakes spark backlash: ‘This is a mockery!'
A Kroger in Atlanta, Georgia is going viral for its Juneteenth cake offerings. A TikTok video posted on June 17 shows haphazardly decorated desserts sitting in the bakery section of the supermarket. 'This is some bulls---,' TikToker @ says at the start of the video. 'Who the hell made this ugly-ass s---?' The video, which now has over 10 million views, shows shelves stocked with birthday cakes and other treats, then lands on a table selling Juneteenth cookie cakes. 'Y'all decorate everything else around here cute, everything else around here cute,' the TikToker says. 'But for Juneteenth, you wanna just throw something on a freaking cookie cake and expect someone to buy it.' Several desserts are shown, some with printed designs, others featuring phrases like 'FREE,' 'June 19 Free,' 'Congratulations' and 'Free @ Last' written off-center in icing. The phrase 'free at last' is known for being a prominent part of Martin Luther King's 'I Have A Dream' speech, borrowed from the title of a Negro-Spiritual song. And now the phrase, which represents a hard-fought struggle, is being featured on a supermarket cake, casually scribbled in internet shorthand. 'I'm a be in here bright, early in the morning to talk to somebody about this, because this is unacceptable,' concludes the TikToker, who did not respond to request for comment. 'Kroger count your days,' they added in the post's caption. 'Why even bother if you're going to lack creativity … This is a mockery!' In the comments section of the video, many agreed. 'Free @ last is just insane 😭😭😭😭,' commented one TikTok user. 'It's giving 'here damn' 💀,' wrote another. 'Gurl! Not the last one saying Congratulations,' added someone else. 'Like Congratulations You're free! 🤦🏽♀️🤭.' 'I would absolutely take that cake that says FREE,' wrote one Reddit user, and another replied, 'Yea I mean it's says FREE I thought it was free.' For its part, Kroger says the desserts featured in the video were 'inconsistent' with its 'provided guidance.' 'The products have been removed, and we've addressed this directly with the store teams and the customer who took the initial video,' it added. The removal of the controversial cookie cakes was confirmed by @ in a follow-up TikTok video. 'I still feel some type of way that they didn't replace them with better Juneteenth cakes,' she says. However, there were some folks on the internet who felt 'mixed' on the issue. An alleged Kroger employee on Reddit wrote, 'I understand that people here are overworked and underpaid like crazy. However, admittedly these cake are not the best looking and def could've been made better.' In response, other Reddit users said, 'It looks like they don't have an experienced cake decorator,' and pointed out that 'it was probably someone with minimal training and not much time, doing their best.' Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced enslaved people were free. This was two and a half years after Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation on Jan. 1, 1863. In June 1883, the Galveston Daily News reported on the 18th annual Emancipation Day — what would today be considered Juneteenth — celebrations across Texas. In 2022, Walmart drew backlash for releasing its own Juneteenth-themed ice cream, which critics said attempted to capitalize on a Black holiday rather than highlight already existing Black-owned ice cream brands. The chain later apologized to customers, writing, 'Juneteenth holiday marks a commemoration and celebration of freedom and independence. However, we received feedback that a few items caused concern for some of our customers and we sincerely apologize.'
