Today is Mango Day. At first, I wasn't quite sure how to talk about mangos, but then I had a thought: how big do mangos get? According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the biggest mango on record weighed 9 pounds. Imagine having that much mango. And then I learned about the Big Mango, and I will reveal what I've learned to you.
In the town of Bowen, Australia, there is a 7 foot tall fiberglass mango, and one time it went missing. You might be wondering how a 7 foot mango goes missing, but it was planned for temporary removal as part of an ad campaign for the restaurant chain Nando's, who were promoting a mango sauce at their restaurants. The only thing is they pretended it was stolen and acted like it was actually missing, so a lot of people were concerned about this mango statue for five minutes. The mango is still out there as a landmark in Bowen if you are ever in the area and want to see a massive fruit.
[CONTRIBUTOR’S NOTE: And if you want to see a massive fruit without the Australia airfare, just call my boyfriend.]
