Because

The first Pineapple Lumps were made by the Regina confectionery factory (now called Rainbow factory [1]) in Oamaru around [2] 1952-54. Charles Diver, the confectionery chef and floor production manager at Regina, who would later create other classic kiwi sweets, was given the task of using up waste product from other lollies of the time. One sweet in particular, an early version of the chocolate fish with a banana flavoured marshmallow middle, had the most left overs.

Pineapple Lumps are currently made by Pascall and typically come in 140g and 300g size packs. Pineapple Lumps were originally called Pineapple Chunks but the name was changed in the early 1960's for want of something a little more unique and original.

Pineapple Lumps are a flavored chocolate covered candy with a soft, chewy pineapple-flavoured middle that are unique to New Zealand. They are often identified as Kiwiana. The semi-brittle shell of chocolate conceals a delightfully chewy, soft pineapple flavoured centre.

How did the kiwi bird become a New Zealand icon?

The kiwi is New Zealand's national icon because it is a New Zealand native bird. It is a unique indigenous bird, easily identifiable, and for those reasons has been chosen as an icon. This flightless bird has some completely unique characteristics which are not shared with any other species, such as nostrils at the very end of its bill, and an extremely highly developed sense of smell which enables it to detect food underground to the length of its bill. The kiwi is not the only native bird which is endangered in New Zealand, but it has a very distinctive and easily recognised shape, which make it ideal as a New Zealand "icon". It is also in need of protection as, like many other species, it has become highly threatened by the effects of European settlement.
