Pineapple

A bowl of pineapple was found on the Ramseys' dining room table. None of the Ramseys admitted putting it there. The pineapple in the bowl was determined to be "consistent down to the rind" with pineapple in Jonbenet's digestive system which was known to be the last thing she ate.

The pineapple has been viewed as a significant piece of evidence because it contradicts the Ramseys' story about carrying Jonbenet asleep from the car and putting her straight to bed on the night of her death. To have consumed pineapple from that bowl after her dinner, JonBenet must have been awake at some point after she got home.

Some have suggested an intruder fed pineapple to JonBenet.
