We get pineapples when they are on sale for 99 cents at Aldi's. We use an estate sale 10-cent find,

to process the pineapple, then I scrape out the skin with my teeth, gnaw on the core, and then feed all the scraps to our worm bin. Dad grew a pineapple one year, but I thought it was difficult to do. Comments here inspire me to try this next time.
If you're into pineapple, you need to get a pineapple corer if you don't already have one. I'd heard rumors of this device for a year or two but never saw one. When we moved to Tonga where pineapples are in abundance, I knew I had to look into this further. I picked one up in an outlet mall during a business trip to Orlando.
Here's an example of one.

My coworker, (who is a Fijiian married to a Tongan and was traveling with me on this trip, and had never heard of an outlet mall before....her mind was a bit blown by this one), looked at it when I was buying it and laughed. She said, "What is that silly thing. It will never work."
I couldn't wait to get back to Tonga so I could try it out. She was wrong. It works awesomely and I wish I'd have brought back a whole case of them to give as gifts to my Tongan neighbors and coworkers.
tldr: I'm 44 and just recently discovered pineapple corers. Pure awesomeness
I use a pineapple slicer like this which is great for getting the meaty part of the pineapple out with no mess; then I squeeze the rest of the pineapple to get about half a cup of pineapple juice from it - after all is said and done I make sure to strain the whole juice for a super smooth drink. (usually I split one pineapple into two 32oz juice blend servings)
These work surprisingly well.
