I’m almost 28 years old, and I learned of a fruit today _I have never even heard about_. Plus, I laughed hard about crash-landing fruit bats.

I’m easily amused, what can I say.

Wow what a response for “just a fruit”! I hail from the East Coast (Rhode Island to be exact), so this citrus wonder is new to me. Though **Zenster** , I have tried both blood oranges and clementines. Mmm!

And **Coldy** it’s ok–at least you live in a foreign country. That forgives you. Hie thee to a grocery store and see if you can find tangelos though!
