> "But why?" Perfectly valid question. One thing that is true is that it is extremely easy to prepare for many people. When I was a child in the 90ies, we often ate Toast Hawaii at my grandparents at birthday parties. Just open a pack of toast, a can of pineapple, a pack of ham and a pack of cheese, place it on top of each other, put it in the oven, done. > "was that really a treat?" As a child, I never liked it, and even the generation of my parents did not really enjoy it and preferred a more sane toast topping. But the postwar generation swore on it. Keep in mind that the country was basically in ruins after WW2. That you were able to afford (or even get) canned pineapples in the 50ies again was kind of a sensation, so I guess they still ate it in the 90ies out of nostalgia.
