First to tell me what exactly that thing is as my avatar, will win 5 Red Jaboticaba Seeds!!! free shipping!! only within USA!!

People outside of USA will have to settle for a different prize of lesser or equal value, depending on where you live, and where I can ship to!  So don't be afraid, this quiz is for the world to partake in!!!

I will award the winner promptly!

I figure I'd do this to be charitable, and do something fun at the same time!

GOOD LUCK!  Maybe the most fiendish fruit fanatic win!

It's a chupacabra!   :P ;D Honestly, it looks like a mix between a dog and a bat.

But, when I gave it a closer look, it looks like a horse making a funny face.

fruitlovers quote above...


Ha ha, lucky duck!  Truly Tropical and doing it right! Growing and stocking respectable species and products!!!

U know I'd ship to u my islander friend! u r USA for sure, just to far for me to give you a pat on the back, so I have to poke your cyber ribs instead...

I suppose I learned just who is who, and who looks at what, by posting this quiz huh?  not a total loss for me!

Now I know if I post a pic of a bat on yahoo, seven people on here have seen it!! even though they don't ever comment!! haha!

I think I need to take this post down! I'm sorry...I think it was off topic, and I didn't even realize we have an off topic section!!!

SORRY moderators !! don't beat me!

Dear Oscar, I resent >:( being called a cheater.
You may have cheated but I did not.

It only took 2 or 3 minutos to find the answer using Google picture search.
I first tried "giant bat",  followed by "giant fruit bat". No luck. So, I looked at the avatar again, and searched for "tube nose bat". Bingo!

Adam,

The proper thing is to play the game again, until someone in the USA wins.
To make it on topic, how about a quiz to guess the name of some obscure fruit...

My initial post said all members across the world are welcome to participate...so you win, and I will reward you accordingly!!!

Please email me off list, and I can take care of you Sergio!!!

U win, stop denying it!!!  LOL.


Fruit bat, is what it was, so it's pertinent somewhat...Next time if I do this...It will be in the "off topic" no matter what....

But I do intend to do this more often!

I like to give stuff away, and encourage you to think about, and learn about things you may not care about now.

Hi Sergio, i just guessed that you saw the post and photo on the yahoo newsgroup, which was of the same bat? I know you are in that group and that post was not that long ago. Anyway, it was supposed to be a JOKE! No offense intended. I don't think it was really cheating even in my case...remembering what Adam posted somewhere else a few weeks ago.
