What happens when you bury a whole pineapple for an extended period of time?
I heard that if you bury a whole pineapple for two weeks underground that once you dig it up and it is juiced it still tasted like it is pineapple juice but it also contains alcohol and can have the same effect alcohol has on you. is this the truth?
Answers:
yep it starts to rot, and the juices in side start to ferment
Unless you keep it in plastic I doubt it would be drinkable.
It would be more likely full of dirt and starting to rot.
Alcohol production is caused by yeast eating sugar. Pineapple has sugar, but wild yeast can produce undesirable tasting alcohol, so doing this, even if it produced alcohol, might be distasteful.
I've read similar accounts of making very crude alcohol from bananas and papayas, in old wilderness survival manuals from the US military.
However I don't think you should try it unless your plane goes down over a desert island. It sounds like you will end up with a rotten pineapple that contains very low alcohol content. Which will probably make you really sick.
Back in the day I was a boy scout, & we made "bug juice" from Hawaiian punch mix and brewing yeast. Looking back I would guess it was about as intoxicating as beer. I am sure if you search online long enough you can find a recipe.
I am gonna make an assumption here & say that your probably aren't 21 yet (I am psychic). So I will describe a much better method for obtaining alcohol at a young age.
Go to a liquor store & find a nearby homeless person. Say "hey mr., I am trying to get some vodka, could you help me out?". The guy will say no. Then tell him he can buy himself a "forty" if he helps you out. Give the guy $20 and tell him you want a "handle" of generic vodka, & that he can get whatever he wants with the change.
You will never get a dime back from him, so hopefully he is honest enough to actually buy you a half gallon of vodka. This plan sucks cause you are at the mercy of the homeless, however when compared to eating a two week old rotten pineapple it is friggin genius.
the juice ferments and will get you drunk, but it will taste like ***. You would be better off buying a beer for a bum, letting him drink it, and trying to suck the alcohol out of HIM. Either way, you don't want your lips to go through that for the alcohol. It aint worth it, ya know?
