A bunch of OTHER things that resemble a rambutan (and no, it’s NOT the Coronavirus, NYT)

So, I posted a while ago on Plates’ Instagram stories asking you guys for suggestions on what else can be likened to the rambutan. And here’s what you guys said:

1. A pomeranian

2. A red Koosh ball

3. An Angry Bird

4. A red-seeded dandelion 

And a whole other bunch of flowers: 

5. Elmo

And another Christmas wish list classic from the ’90s:

Okay, I know I said there are no listicles in Plates, and that’s a promise true for the biannual print version. I promise there’s none of this clickbait-y stuff in any of the issues (be it Rice, Durian or Water). 

For context, in case you missed the last post, which was triggered by the extremely xenophobic and rude article by the New York Times about fruits in Thailand. (tl;dr NYT’s Southeast Asia bureau chief, compared the rambutan to the Coronavirus.) More of that rant here. 

Until next week. Stay safe.
