Haha - I always get confused as to why people call Kiwifruit just 'Kiwi's' in other countries."WHAT!? But it's an ENDANGERED SPECIES!!"
Either that or you're a cannibal - 'Kiwi' is a colloquial term for New Zealanders after all . .
Did you know they used to be called Chinese Gooseberries, aru?

Cute 
I know, I found that really weird when I moved to the US. Even weirder was that some of my friends thought calling NZers Kiwis was an insult! Don't know where that one came from

You call them Kiwifruit there? strange, I always thought they were just called kiwis everywhere... and I had no idea that a kiwi is also a New Zealander. Just goes to show how little I know about New Zealand...

Well... there are no kiwis in America at all unless you visit a Zoo... and most people here don't call New Zealanders kiwis.

It's too bad I'm American and therefore will block this out and continue to follow the correct American way of saying kiwi when referring to green fruit.

Three kinds of Kiwi's - Three times delicious . . I mean one . . ONE times delicious
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Of course there is only one kind of delicious. See, what ya do is have a Kiwi bird, eat a kiwi fruit, and then have a Kiwi person eat the Kiwi bird! And then you eat the Kiwi person and it's like three kiwis in one delicious package! ^-^
I mean...I guess that is how you would do it...I wouldn't know, of course...>.> <.<
