What would you even do with 25 Mangoes?

Who writes mangoes instead of simply mangos?

I never knew some people write it differently
- mangoes where he pleases
- I accept "mangoes" because of the English rule that nouns that end in a consonant followed by a vowel should be padded with another vowel ("e") before the "-s". Another example I can think of off the top of my head is "heroes", not "heros".
  
  However, I also accept "mangos" because it feels right. Wiktionary says "mango" is Portuguese, and I don't know Portuguese, but at least in Spanish you don't pluralize with "-es", just "-s".
  
  Mango doesn't exist in Portuguese. It's written manga, a feminine gendered word, Portuguese being a gendered language.
  
  Plural mangas. Doesn't really help, but there's your linguistic TIL.
Slice em up, dry em over a fan, dried mango slices are the beeeest snaaaack
- Is there a good way to do this without mangoes? Or a fan?
  
  You can imagine having the mangoes very vividly, it will activate the same part of your brain that would be activated as if you had the mangoes
Eat them because mangoes are delicious.
- Or make mangonadas
  
  When life gives you mangos, don’t make mangonade. Make life take the mangos back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn mangos, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager!
