Having all kinds of food availiable almost instantly. You want to have a yoghurt with fruit in the middle of winter? No problem, just go to the store and buy one. You want to have some fancy food that a hundred years ago wouldn't be even known of? You can buy it relatively cheaply today.

In the 18th century people showed off pineapples because they were so rare and hard to come by.

This is an excellent point. Strawberries in December? Meat cuts anytime you want? It's all modern

Pineapple images even got worked into art/architecture of the era. You can see examples of it in modern homes in southeast Virginia, especially around colonial towns like Williamsburg and Jamestown.
