Why is a mango called a mango?
A mango is called a mango because it was the name of the African explorer, Michael Mango. In 1827, at age 22, Michael was strolling along through the Malawi streets when a giant mango suddenly dropped on his head. The mango was yellow, slightly green and smelt as sweet as summer. Mr. Mango thought it would TASTE as sweet as summer too, so naturally, he took a big bite. Poor Michael had no clue that he had to peel the mango before eating it. He choked on the skin and lay on the streets, unable to breathe. When the paramedics got to Michael, it was too late. Michael Mango had died. No one was around when Michael had bitten into the mango and all they found was a strange fruit on the ground with one bite taken out of it. A starving 41-year old woman saw the mango on the ground and was so desperate that she too died from choking on the skin. Passersby understood that Michael Mango must've passed away because of the mango. To this day, that is why the mango is called a mango.
