**California Avocado Growers Credit Mexican Imports for Boosting Sales: “We Were Just a Side Dish!”**
In a shocking twist that has left guacamole enthusiasts reeling, California avocado growers have officially credited Mexican imports for their recent sales surge. “We were just a side dish in the taco of life,” lamented local avocado farmer, Chuck “Guac-a-Mole” McAvoy. “But now, thanks to our friends south of the border, we’re the main course!”
The California Avocado Commission held an emergency press conference this week, where they unveiled their new marketing strategy: “If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em… and then blame them for your success.” Commission spokesperson, Rita “Avocad-Oh No!” Green, stated, “We realized that every time someone buys a Mexican avocado, they think, ‘Wow, I need to buy more California avocados to feel better about my life choices!’”
Local avocado farmer, Bob “The Guacamole Whisperer” Smith, added, “I used to think I was the king of avocados. Now I’m just the jester in a guacamole court ruled by our Mexican friends. I mean, have you tasted their avocados? They’re like the Beyoncé of fruit!”
In a bizarre twist, the California avocado growers have also started a new campaign called “Avocado Amigo,” where they encourage consumers to buy both California and Mexican avocados. “It’s like a fruit friendship,” said Green. “We’re all in this together, like a really weird fruit salad.”
As the avocado wars heat up, one thing is clear: whether you’re Team California or Team Mexico, we can all agree on one thing—avocados are the only fruit that can make you feel like a millionaire while simultaneously emptying your wallet. So grab your chips and get ready for the ultimate guacamole showdown!
