Cruise passenger left 'fuming' after discovering why people were flirting with him
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.'

Coyote Ugly sequel gets major update as Piper Perabo drives fans wild with hints 25 years after filming original movie
A sequel for Coyote Ugly is potentially in the works as an original cast member shared a major update, to the excitement of many longtime fans. Piper Perabo, who is known for portraying the protagonist Violet Sanford in the 2000 film, hinted at the possibility of a follow-up installment while attending San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend. The 48-year-old actress, who starred in Coyote Ugly when she was in her early 20s, hinted at a project being in the works and said there have been behind-the-scenes talks. 'There has been some discussion about that,' she told The Hollywood Reporter on Sunday. 'Some things are being discussed.' She continued mysteriously: 'I can't really say, but people that were doing it are talking about some stuff.' Her update comes less than a year after Perabo reunited with the ensemble cast to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Coyote Ugly with Tyra Banks, Maria Bello, Izabella Miko, Bridget Moynahan and Melanie Lynskey. When she was asked if talks about a second film was once again 'back on,' she responded, 'Among the necessary — and some people that were like, "Well, we don't necessarily need," they're like, "Oh, well I wanna be in it."' She added: 'So there's a lot of cooks in the kitchen right now, but things are moving around.' When asked if there was already a written script for Coyote Ugly 2, she only replied: 'I can't say anything about that.' Perabo added, 'But I will say that people that were integral to making it are in communication about how to do something more.' The actress previously starred in the the original movie, which was released in 2000. In the dramedy, she played aspiring songwriter Violet Sanford, who gets a job at the Coyote Ugly saloon to earn money as she pursues her music career. It's there that she meets Kevin O'Donnell (portrayed by Adam Garcia), and he helps her overcome her stage fright. However, her father (John Goodman) learns of her new job and disapproves of the environment at Coyote Ugly, and she ends up getting fired. He later gets involved in a car crash, and the scary experience gives him a new outlook, leading him to encourage his daughter to pursue her songwriting dreams. Despite having a relatively low budget and receiving mediocre reviews, Coyote Ugly was hit after grossing $113 million worldwide. In February, the cast reunited for a special screening and Q&A to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the movie's release. During the event, Banks said that the reunion was 'magical, wild, hilarious and deeply touching — just like the movie itself.' In her pre-screening remarks at the event, according to People, Bello praised Banks for her role in organizing the benefit. During the panel discussion, Miko recalled the intense rehearsals for the movie's elaborate dance numbers. 'It feels like it was months, but I don't know if it was months, but it was a long time,' she recalled. 'There was just not only the choreography, but also just dealing with fire and water elements. That was great.' Miko went on to say that she was 'so grateful' not to be among those who had to dance on the bar, which she called 'a nightmare.' Prior to the reunion, Bello teased that she hadn't 'seen some of those girls in 25 years' and was excited to see what would happen. Back in 2018, she teased that she was eager to reprise her role as the no-nonsense bartender. 'I'm dying to do Coyote Ugly 2,' the actress told People. 'I want to produce it — I just need to get the rights from Mr. Jerry Bruckheimer or work with him.'
