So, Dawn and I were watching television last night, when a commercial came on that pointed out how I have some real blind spots in my Pop Culture knowledge. The commercial was for Fruit of the Loom and it was a music video parody starring their familiar mascots, The Fruit Guys. As I watched the Apple sing beside the Grape, I realized that I had no idea what the other two fruits were. I wasn't alone, when I asked Dawn, she had no idea either. I made a mental note and continued to watch "Air Jaws", which is just one of thousands of reasons why I love Shark Week. So today I decided to investigate and found out that "The Fruit Guys" actually have a website. The members are as follows: Apple, Purple Grape, Green Grape, and Leaf. So, this knowledge now leaves me with ton of other questions...
- Why are there two types of grapes?
- Why is Purple Grape not called by it's real name Red Grape?
- Why are citrus fruits not represented?
- A leaf, while it is part of a fruit plant, is not a fruit itself; so why is it there?
- What are the orange colored fruits in the Fruit of the Loom logo and why are they not represented?
- Is there such a thing as ethnic diversity in fruit?
Ok, so these are my questions. I'll continue my quest to find the answers to these "Fruitful Ponderings"... I'm gonna quit now before I make anymore "un-a-peel-ing" fruit puns......damn it.
