2016 Doodle Fruit Games - Day 15
This Doodle’s Key Themes
Today marks the 15th day of the 2016 Doodle Fruit Games! We’re journeying to an otherwise unassuming fruit stand in Rio where produce from all over the market competes for the title of freshest fruit. To play along, get the latest Google app on Android or iOS, and tap the Doodle. Learn more at g.co/fruit and let the games begin!
And now, a report from the field covering Day 15 of the action...
The crowd falls silent as Durian takes the horse. “You either love ‘em or you can’t stand ‘em,” says one audience member. Popularity aside, this complex fruit brings some stiff competition, moving through the first half of the routine with savory swing. Tight turns and a steady tempo—this is definitely not Durian’s first rodeo. But is this king of fruits all it’s chalked up to be? Wait for it...woah! What a handle on that husk. Going, going, and Durian sticks the dismount without a thorn out of place. Ladies and gentlemen, this fruit just gave “in season” a whole new meaning. Ah, the sweet, strange smell of victory.
Keep coming back for all the action from the 2016 Doodle Fruit Games!
