blessing fruits (updated)

Blessing Fruits



At Chinese New Year, everything is a little more festive--including the fruits that have "blessing" values assigned to them.



I forget which blessings pineapples and oranges are supposed to bring.  Perhaps wealth--anyone know for sure?



UPDATE: In the comments, Lawrance, answers my question.  I put his reply here to make the answer more accessible to others.  Thanks for clearing up my vauge impression, Lawrance.




Pineapple means prosperous because of it sounds like "prosperity come"(旺來:旺--prosperity,來--come) in Taiwanese.



Orange means auspiciousness because of it sounds like 吉子 in
Mandarin.(吉:auspiciousness,子--children). Parents hope gods can bless
their children with auspiciousness.
