Stopped in to see if they had any Belvita or Glade Expressions – no Belvita but lots of the Glade. Grabbed the first one – it was marked Mangosteen, so I took the gentile variety, cotton & Italian mandarin.
Seriously, I thought mangosteen was the formal name of the mango, but it’s a fruit none of us have eaten because its import as fresh fruit was banned up until 2007 due to concerns over the Asian fruit fly. I think they use the same logic for the ban on bringing banana plants to Chicago (long story).
They had about 15 cans left on the cardboard display, so if you’re in the area, stop by and clear them out.
Mangosteen doesn’t taste or look like mango. 🙂
