A: Japan produces something very similar to an avocado: A green, delicious fruit-like being that goes great with turkey and can be used to make a tasty chip dip. They call him AV Cado!
Unlike a traditional avocado, which grows until ripe, then is picked and eaten, AV Cado! enters the world fully formed, through a series of prayers, thunderstorms and scientific experiments gone wrong.
Eating an avocado is a treat for the senses. Eating AV Cado! would kill you. His skin is tougher that leather, his fruit contains a lethal sedative, his pit designed to explode on contact with human saliva.
By day, AV Cado! and his pal, Turkey, compete as a racing team in the Super Fast Go-Go-Win league. At night, they try to keep Japan safe from the evil Professor Murder Professor.
On weekends, they perform with their rock band, Santa Ham Sandwich.
But no matter what they do, they're always having fun.
Unless AV Cado has been drinking. He tends to wound Turkey with his lacerating wit. Also, with his collection of samurai swords.
