My wife came home today with a little pineapple plant from Home Depot (Fayetteville, GA). I've been growing the tops of store bought pineapples for a while (mainly cayennes), and the ones I have gotten to fruit are all probably 5-6' in width and take a couple of years to mature. This little guy is maybe 2' in width and has a small fruit the size of a mini-football growing on it. Anyone have a clue what type it is?

My first thoughts were it was a S.African baby, but since I've had zero luck growing these, I'm not sure how big they get when they fruit. As you know, Home Depot is awful when it comes to labelling plants correctly (I've seen several types of bananas sold there simply labelled "Musa" ;-). The usual under-description on the stake tag was "PINEAPPLE (Ananas comosus), which basically tells me nothing about what kind of pineapple it really is...

Anyway, you can see a photo of it in the link below. I put a bottle of my favorite beverage next to it for scale. If anyone can identify this beast it would be greatly appreciated!
