    I was reading somewhere that there are 4 kinds of mango in Brasil.
    manga espada is green
    manga palmer it is red and it was brought from Florida
    manga Tommy Atkins it is multi color and the most exported to other countries
    manga rosa yellow and pink not very popular in other countries

    Tommy Atkins (mango)
    From Wikipedia

    "The 'Tommy Atkins' mango is a named mango cultivar. Although generally not considered to be the best in terms of sweetness and flavor,[1] it is valued for its very long shelf life and tolerance of handling and transportation with little or no bruising or degradation.[2]

    This means it is the main mango sold in regions where mangoes have to be imported, comprising about 80% of mangoes sold in the United Kingdom and United States[dubiousdiscuss], apart from growing regions in California,[3] Hawaii, Florida and Jamaica.

    @D.Tibbitt I found a safety harness for you rofl or at least that’s what it’d look like on a twig boy; I want some suspenders, but not pencil thin ones that’d honestly make me look like a douche...

    On the bright side if they would’ve left your truck on cement blocks at the TA in Laredo with almost nothing left at least it’s a lease purchase truck and you could ride off into the sunset knowing you stuck it to them more than they did to you by giving you crap freight to haul :D
