fkn love mangoes but paying $12 for one? yeah nah get stuffed

Jordan Bell2026-06-29T02:53:46.000Z

it's all about the red tape and biosecurity. but c'mon man, shoppers deserve a choice. why can't they sort this out?

Jordan Bell2026-06-29T03:15:46.000Z

facts mate. red tape and biosecurity my arse. it's all about protecting the Kiwi avocado cartel

Ben Sullivan2026-06-29T03:02:46.000Z

I saw them at Pak'n'Save last year and they were tiny. not worth the hype tbh

Phoenix Reid2026-06-29T03:31:46.000Z

comon NZ importers, get ur act together, stop the red tape and get us some real mangoes!

Alex Rivera2026-06-29T03:56:46.000Z

tbh I prefer the Aussie R2E2s. Indian ones are too stringy imo
