For some reason, this seems to be the time of year which the media sets aside for stories on large fruits. Or largish, anyway. Because I may be spoilt by my time in the tropics, but this “Avozilla” doesn’t look like such a big avocado to me. I was hoping I’d be able to be more precise about this, but I couldn’t find systematic characterization data on the world’s avocado collections, not even in GRIN. And no, I’m not impressed that Avozilla has its own Twitter account either:
“@DailyMailUK: AVOZILLA, world's largest avocado goes on sale at Tesco http://t.co/8wCZl4WiNA pic.twitter.com/gLEV98M0It” Yes, I'm here!

And likewise, 14-15 grams is not bad for an olive, but there’s bigger, and not all of them are from Italy.
