[QUOTE]The mysterious overnight disappearance of the Big Mango in the town of Bowen, north Queensland, has been revealed to have been an elaborate marketing stunt.

Burger chain Nando's has claimed responsibility for the 'heist' of the 10-tonne giant fibreglass fruit, which went missing from the town's tourist information centre yesterday.

'Thank you Bowen. Your Big Mango is in safe hands (very, very big hands),' the fast food joint wrote on it's Facebook page today.[/QUOTE]

That was just gold.

To state the obvious, mango is coming to the Nandos menu. I wonder in what form.
