Pineapples in Mercadona.

It started off as a tongue in cheek post on Tik Tok but it has now taken Spain by storm. It says to and head to your nearest Mercadona supermarket place an upturned pineapple in your trolley and wait for love! The upturned pineapple states that you are "interested in a date" If a like-minded person (pineapple and all) crashes into your trolley then you are off to a good start. I don't think anyone thought that it would have such a reaction. Social media in Spain is simply buzzing with reports about Mercadona dating.

There have been so many people in the supermarket at the required hour that Mercadona has been forced to introduce additional security. In fact, some people are now suggesting that Mercadona dating could overtake the more traditional apps like Tinder.

Over the weekend in one supermarket on the mainland even a stag party took place between the supermarket aisles. It is unclear whether anybody has actually found true love but it is certainly a talking point.

Mercadona is Spain's largest supermarket chain with branches across the country including many in Mallorca.
