You probably don't realize this but "cago" in Spanish means "I shit" or "I shit myself", depending on context. If you accent the "o", "cagó" it means "he shit" or "she shit". So "avocago" could mean that someone named "Avo" took a shit.

Not the kind of thing you want to associate with fresh produce.

I would seriously consider pivoting to a different name.

I live in SF and have an avocado tree in my yard. Once they start ripening, we get hundreds every week, and resort to putting a box of them outside our place every day. (I know, you're thinking "you must not love avocados as much as me if you can't eat them all!" but it turns out that 100 avocados per week is beyond my abilities)

So your other option is to try and find that box. :)

I don't think the offense to Spanish speakers will be what stops the 2 billion dollar buyout from Google.

An avocado fan here. How do I return the avocados if they are bad when delivered? Is there a charge for returns? How much are the prices of the avocados? You should put that on the site.

Our avocados are handpicked by an expert avocado picker :) There is currently no price for returns as satisfaction is guaranteed! Pricing is dependent on the delivery location and the number ordered.
