2016 Doodle Fruit Games - Day 17
This Doodle’s Key Themes
Today, the sun sets on the 2016 Doodle Fruit Games. And just in time! Our competitors are plum-tuckered from slicing, dicing, rolling, and peeling.
But what a highlight reel! Lemons dropped, Apples bobbed, Strawberries fielded, and the crowd left satisfied. “I’ve been attending the Fruit Games for two decades and I’ve never seen one this jam-packed!” attested Peach, a cobbler from Sauceton. “You could pretty much pick any fruit from the bunch for MVF.”
Ah, parting is such sweet sorrow! But don’t let your melon-choly get the best of you. Take a look back at some of the most appealing moments of this year’s Fruit Games.
