I'm not a big sweets lover, but the combo of strawberries and pineapple does sound luscious. I'm sure it would be good with real whipped cream which is definitely not a fast food!

POKE CAKE! I haven't had poke cake in a long time, I really like it though. One of the secretaries in my old department used to make something like this, except all strawberreis and with jello instead of pudding. Yum!
