The top five places I'd like to see the 'Psych' pineapple

Over winter break, my mom finally convinced me to watch one of her favorite shows, Psych. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, and some of it was actually funny.

One thing about the show that I'm glad my mom told me about, because I would never have known about it otherwise, as the show doesn't tell you, is that there is a pineapple in every episode.

Wait a minute. What?

In each episode, there is a sneakily hidden pineapple. For example, on the most recent episode, a cheese cutter had a pineapple handle. Some of them are more obvious, like ordering a pineapple smoothie or holding a physical pineapple, but many of them are quite tricky. Luckily, I found a fan site called Pysch Pineapple that provides a screenshot of the pineapple from every episode of all six seasons, so if you're unobservant like me, you can still be in the know.

Here are some places I would like to see the Pysch pineapple hidden in future episodes.

  1. Pineapple fascinator. This would be perfect if there is a wedding in Psych's final season, as the "Neil Simon's Lover's Retreat" episode hinted with the fact that Shawn has purchased an engagement ring. A simple pineapple headband with cream-colored veil would suit Juliet quite nicely. Side note: If I ever meet James Roday, I will be custom crafting a pineapple fascinator for the occasion.
  2. Pineapple vest. My mom has always wanted to see a beach-themed episode where Shawn wears a three-piece suit with a pineapple-printed vest. Make it happen, producers.
  3. Pineapple nail art. Ideal for the episode in which Shawn proposes to Juliet, providing a close-up hand shot for a ring finger pineapple nail decal.
  4. Pineapple tacky Christmas sweater. Obvious but effective.
  5. 99 Pineapples. Schnapps has not added pineapple to the 99 Schnapps line yet, but perhaps they would consider doing a limited-edition 99 Pineapples if it were featured prominently in the show. Psych often has very blatant product placement -- Jamba Juice and New Balance, to name a couple -- so this shouldn't be an issue.
