2016 Doodle Fruit Games - Day 8
This Doodle’s Key Themes
Today marks the 8th 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 8 of the action….
We're off to the races! Strawberry starts out at the back of the bunch, but we've seen Strawberry get out of jams before. Grape peels out to take the early lead and Orange squeezes to a close second. Meanwhile, Strawberry is trying to preserve momentum. But oh, look at this fruity feat: Watermelon barrels ahead and pulps Orange! Will Grape be next? Suddenly Strawberry dips from left to right, picking the sweet spots, easy as pie. And it's Strawberry for the victory — the pip of the pack!
Keep coming back for all the action from the 2016 Doodle Fruit Games!
