====Pineapple Lumps are a pineapple flavoured chocolate confectionery with a soft chewy pineapple marshmallow inside. The first Pineapple lumps were called Pineapple Chunks and were made by Charles Richard Diver in 1952-1954. Charles was a worker at Reinga Confectionary factory (which is now called the Rainbow factory) and was Floor Production Manager. He was told to make other lollies out of the leftovers of other lollies. One of the lollies that had the most left overs were chocolate banana flavoured marshmallow fish. He took the left overs and made Pineapple Chunks. In the early 1960s they changed the Pineapple chunks into pineapple Lumps because it was more unique.
