Mystery of the Mango-Honeydew Nectarine – SOLVED!

Remember a few weeks ago, when I ate a delicious but perplexing fruit called the mango-honeydew nectarine?

I, along with many Googlers who came across my post, had a few big questions about this fruit:

Finally, after extensive researching, I think I’ve at long last, traced down its origins and solved the mystery.  And everything points to one culprit: marketing.

I didn’t see these until I got home, but the stickers on the fruit.
