Pineapples are famously prickly - and thus everyone doesn't find it an easy fruit to handle. Many people prefer to buy manually pre-cut pineapples to avoid extra hassle. But what if there were a machine that could do this for you in front of your eyes? A video by an Indian vlogger recently featured one such device at a supermarket in Germany. Vaishali Dutt was left highly impressed with the automated system that gave her a ready-to-eat pineapple in just a few seconds. "POV: Germany living in 2050. Casually cutting pineapples in a supermarket," reads the text on the reel.

The video shows how the machine works. The woman places the prickly fruit in a dedicated slot and shuts the small door in front of it. She places a transparent container in another slot to collect it later. She presses a specific button, and the machine then peels and cores the pineapple. It is deposited in the container a few moments later, and it looks perfectly ready to consume without any mess for the customer. The vlogger noted, "Who needs a knife when Germany has machines like this?"
