A while ago I learned the original Chinese name for a kiwifruit (which is originally from China, and was rebranded as a New Zealand thing thanks to Cold War tensions) is a "monkey peach" This is a 1000x better name and makes me far more interested in eating them

Anyway I'm a little mad because New Zealand did successfully steal the brand of this fruit, even though the majority of kiwifruit are still grown in China Even my mom thought kiwifruit were from New Zealand when I told her about this

She totally had one of those "I was today years old" moments where the wheels turned in her head and she was like "Wait, mahoutao and kiwifruit are the same thing?" (She hadn't heard them called by the former name since childhood)
