test.dole.com

I found: http://test.dole.com/ and: https://www.dole.com/en/Articles/TEST

The article is testing in prod I guess, and the test subdomain is probably staging. Interestingly, google indexed it and when I searched for whether to refrigerate pineapple juice that came up.

I wonder if it is a staging / testing area for their site?

I've certainly done that before with a subdomain that I wanted on the actual internet.

That's what I'm thinking, I just haven't seen anyone use a subdomain like "test" so blatantly

It does seem a bit on the more obvious side... I usually use something that seems more obscure / less likely for anyone to stumble upon.
