Denied by some, perhaps; not by all!!! I repeat:
Here are a few, possible and innocent explanations for the pineapple:
1)jonbenet eats the pineapple before leaving for the Whites, a quick bite on her way out the door at least one Boulder expert said that this was possible
2)jonbenet takes a small piece with her when they leave for the Whites, like candy, tucked into a box, a bag, a baggie, a container, a pocket, whatever was handy. She eats it at the Whites or in the car before falling asleep on the way home
3)jonbenet having fallen asleep earlier than usual and having ate little at the Whites, wakes up at home, in bed and hungry and finds that stashed or left over piece somewhere in her room. yum, yum.
4)jonbenet, having fallen asleep earlier than usual and having ate little at the Whites, wakes up at home, in bed and hungry and maybe still thinking about Christmas, wanders downstairs and sees the pineapple in the bowl, left there from earlier in the day, and she has a piece, but still tired wanders off back to bed
All the above scenarios have the pineapple coming out of the bowl.
