Gold thing

Last night, my wife and I were watching TV. The station we were watching repeatedly aired an ad for Fruit of the Loom. I don't remember noticing how confusing their mascots are prior to this point. Clearly they have an apple, purple grapes, green grapes and....? What kind of fruit is that gold thing? They must get this question all the time, but to my knowledge this is the first time I have gotten around to asking.

Any ideas? My wife thought it may possibly be a golden raisin. I think that's a morbid suggestion. How awkward would it be for a raisin to be palling around with two bunches of healthy grapes. That is unless he is their wrinkly, sun-bleached, grandfather and Fruit of the Loom is striving for better generational understanding.

Tim and I have had this same conversation. He thinks it's a pineapple. If so, they did a pretty bad job with costume design. I think it's a leaf... like maybe off the top of the apple. Or perhaps a rotten pear.

I took up the job of searching the internet for the answer and the yellow guy is, in fact, a leaf.

I really have no idea, but tell Andrea that I don't think that it would be an orange raisin. Is there such a thing?

I thought it was a pineapple, but now that it is declared as a leaf i was clearly in the wrong, but since when is a leaf a fruit?!

I always thought it was a ham.

Since ham is made on Christmas, and Paul said it's a ham, I must conclude that it is a leaf dipped in ham water. Tami
