The narrator talks about a viral video of people eating pineapple in an unusual way. He then shares that he discovered the pineapple variety "Mel" (Portuguese for "honey") which is sweeter than regular pineapples. This variety was developed in the 90s by the Agronomic Institute of Campinas but is no longer widely available due to its susceptibility to a disease.
The narrator searches for this variety and eventually finds someone on Twitter who sends him a pineapple. He receives the pineapple and finds that it has a smaller size and a different neck than regular pineapples. He peels the pineapple and finds that the buds are smaller and more uniform, with a sweeter taste.
The narrator explains that pineapples are not a single fruit but rather a composite of multiple flowers. He also mentions that the pineapple variety "Mel" is not widely available due to the disease, but the Agronomic Institute will start supplying seedlings to producers again, making it possible for people to cultivate and eat this variety in the future.
