Image Description: A cheerful illustrated poster for the Fruit Salad Olympics. Set against a bright blue sky with fluffy clouds, the image shows four anthropomorphic fruits — a smiling strawberry, a happy pineapple, a cheerful blueberry, and a lively banana — all leaping joyfully with their arms raised. Above them, large cream-colored text clearly reads “FRUIT SALAD OLYMPICS” in bold block letters. Below the title are the five Olympic-style rings in blue, black, red, yellow, and green. The entire scene is flat and cartoonish in style, using clean lines, vivid colors, and a playful tone
The Fruit Salad Olympics – Day Ten: Pips, Paddles and Peelouts
After a few days of drama, mystery, and jam-stained ceilings, today was all about classic fruit sports. Fast feet, sharp reflexes, and pure pulpy precision were on full display.
Event One: Pip Pong Doubles Held in the Citrus Dome, this high-speed doubles match had teams smacking pips across a jelly-coated table using waffle paddles. The pip? A perfectly polished cherry stone. The rules? Loosely followed.
Teams included:
* Berry Blast (Bluebell Blueberry & Ruby Raspberry)
* Team Medley (Gooseberry Gus & Olive)
* Citrus Surge (Lemon Lorna & Lime Lily)
* Team Tropical (Pineapple Pete & Mango Max)
Highlights:
* Ruby and Bluebell moved like a single berry organism, bouncing in sync.
* Gooseberry Gus attempted a trick serve, hit Olive in the eye. Still scored.
* Pineapple Pete lost a paddle mid-rally and continued using his leafy hair.
* Lemon Lorna shouted “ZEST ATTACK!” before every hit. No one knew why.
Gold: Berry Blast Silver: Team Tropical Bronze: Team Medley
Event Two: Kiwi Cartwheel Course A new agility event with strong gym-class energy. Fruits had to cartwheel across banana peels, hop over giant lychee balls, and backflip off a jelly cube to finish.
Finalists:
* Kiwi Kim
* Banana B.A. Peel
* Clementine Chloe
* Figaro the Fig
Figaro began with dramatic flair but ended up stuck upside-down in a jelly block. Banana B.A. Peel delivered surprisingly graceful flips with loud whoops. But Kiwi Kim stole the show with five non-stop cartwheels and a backward pip-flip onto the podium.
Gold: Kiwi Kim Silver: Banana B.A. Peel Bronze: Clementine Chloe
Elsewhere at the Games:
* Granny Smith was overheard asking, “Why are they flipping around like that? Just walk like a normal apple.”
* Coconut Courier preview: “Pips, Spins and Unexpected Grace: Kiwi Kim Bounces to Glory”
* No signs of the Rogue Raspberry today… but a small pip pong paddle was found with tiny letters etched into the handle: “See you soon.”
