Trivia question of the day: Why does the Jell-o box say not to use
fresh pineapple?

I tried that once. It didn't set up. Apparently, there is an enzyme or
something in pineapple that keeps the gelatin from jelling.

Bromelain. Similar to papayin, it breaks down protein (geletin).
Pineapple juice is a good meat tenderizer.
