Fruit of the Month Foolery inspired by the USDA

Written By Keith Bradnam

According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), August is Get Acquainted with Kiwifruit Month. This amuses me for the implication that the USDA doesn't necessarily want you to eat any Kiwifruit...just become 'acquainted' with them.

This makes me wonder what other fruit-related months the USDA will endorse in future:

  • September: Become Vaguely Familiar with Mango Month
  • October: Stroke a Strawberry Month
  • November: Make Eye Contact with an Elderberry Month
