Papaya - the fruit to be associated with

About once a month, I'd find the word 'papaya' used outside the normal produce arena: NYC hot dog stands, Nicole Kidman's latest outfit, soaps, Christmas ornaments, etc.


The last month I'm seeing 'papayas' everywhere.

Do you watch the CBS show "Amazing Race"? If you do, you probably saw the show that critics are calling a one-hour
commercial for Snapple bottled teas. The show highlighted their new Mango-Papaya tea, available in both regular and diet versions.

If you watch ABC's "Modern Family," you may have noticed the wall collages In Haley's room that mix photos with Papaya prints. Papaya is an Oregon-based company that creates bold graphic art with handmade style.

'PapayaMobile' has become the Android's leading social gaming network, offering a full suite of social gaming features.

In retail clothing stores, there's Papaya an upscale store with a contemporary environment focusing on 16 to 25 year-olds.

Exciting to see papayas recognized beyond the produce section in the grocery store.
