Okayy... I get you. Have you tried half frozen grapes with sugar drizzled on them? They taste insanely better than the normal deal.

I'm in my hometown so we don't have dragonfruit here. When I go back to my work-city, I'll try the dragonfruit thing!

Thanks for the recco.

Let me know when you're here next time! We will go eat fruits together!

"Mr Walmart" hehehe. That's nice.

For a moment I really did personify that giant soul-less corporation. Good wordplay. :)

I do agree, it is a very subjective article. That's why I call it "research" in double quotes. The whole thing is more of an opinion piece than actual research.

Green mangoes can be good too. I don't know how those in China, Malaysia and Thailand taste, and I hope to, some day. But I can certainly tell you Sindhura tastes good even when it's green.

Also yes, too sweet is weird. That's what happened to some of the varities we tried too. I think some of those pasha pasand and such varieties fell off because they were tooo sweet. I agree with you there.

I have tried dragonfruit. Maybe the ones here aren't as good because they seem very tasteless.. Like jelly.. but tasteless? I'll still try the chilled version this weekend and report back to you, okay?

I've never tried durian too. Don't think I even want to. Have read some really nasty things about the smell.

Ohhh. .I didn't even know Kent or Carabao were Mango varieties.

Thank you for telling me about them.

When I do the next version, I will secure these varieties too and then eat them. And get back to you :P

Also yes, it was written in 2024. I wrote it right after a very bad breakup where I dated someone for ~6 months and then they walked away from the relationship while we were speaking about marriage.

I ended up finding comfort (a little too much perhaps) in hanging out with friends and eating mangoes.

That's the Mango Affogato reference at the start. I was Mango, she was the Affogato.

Thank you thank you. I'm so surprised that this article is suddenly blowing up when I posted it 24 hours ago haha.

I'm glad you enjoyed reading it. Next time I'll also write translations of the more niche things written in Hindi which have cultural references to my Indian growing up.

Okay, I have no idea what sour sop is.. let me google what this is and hopefully I end up finding something I love even more than Mangoes.

Okay, now I just have to wait till I get my hands on this. Thanks for this though! I didn't even know this existed. And now I do.

Hopefully I can get my hands on it during the second league. :)

Fair enough. From where you stand this is absolutely correct.

Where I'm from, there's so many mangoes to choose from. And yes, everyone starts with the vendor's recommendation. But at some point you really start to wonder what else is out there.

So that's how I ended up here.

Had the fortune of building a purchase journey for a quick collection feature so I wrote about it.

I understand this is an old "research" but I was not on any social media for the past few years, so I'm sharing it now.

Yeah. I just didn't expect this from something like IEEE.
