What do upside-down pineapples and flamingos mean? If you’re on the naïve side like me, you might believe that upside-down pineapples ripen better when inverted. Maybe a pineapple at your door is a sign of welcome.
Those are a few of the answers you’ll find when you Google the question. I saw someone answer the question on Quora with an entire explanation regarding pineapple upside-down cakes.
Of course, I would be the one that would graciously put the pineapple back the way it belonged or ask someone why their fruit was upside down. Unfortunately, the upside-down pineapple flamingo pairing has nothing to do with cake.
To avoid an awkward situation, we’ll explain what upside-down pineapples with flamingos mean. We’ll also talk about how the idea started and some other variations that relate to it.
What Does an Upside Down Pineapple Mean?
An upside-down pineapple is a secret sign that the people behind the symbol are into the swinging lifestyle. People who wear these symbols look for others who share this way of life.
Does a Flamingo Symbolize Swinging?
Although less common, the flamingo symbolizes someone looking to swing. Yet the pink flamingo is mostly a harmless RV patio feature that dates back to the Vintage Era (1945-1970).
What are Swingers?
Swingers are people who participate in group sex or who swap partners in a group setting.
What’s the History of the Upside-Down Pineapples?
The history of the upside-down pineapple without the flamingo is much less questionable than today’s interpretation. It’s commonly associated with hospitality and has been used as a sign in places where guests are welcomed. Some say the symbol originated from Hawaii and represents the local’s friendly hospitality.
Some say the upside-down pineapple originated in Europe as a symbol of welcome during the Renaissance period. However, at one time, it was only used by royalty.
It’s also said to be a sign of prosperity and good fortune.
