Didn't she just get an award for having the best teeth from Philips? Maybe the grapefruit give her clean teeth.

Now the state of Florida is getting into this foolishness. Is she going to have a summet with the Breakfast Ambassador? Grapefriut is a breakfast food afterall, along with beer.

"Grapefruit Ambassador". Much better than naming someone "Grapefuitiest".

Nothing like a nice pair of grapefruits in the morning.

I doubt she is even slightly aware how absolutely ludicrous that sounds

Mark - it would be The Best Grapefruitist!
But has anyone ever seen or heard of her doing anything to promote grapefruits?

The management companies will do anything for money and farm out the talents to any 'worthy cause'. Maybe the toilet bowl industry should have an award for best bogest!

She's won it for the 3rd year in a row. One wonders what the criteria could be for being a grapefruit ambassador

Giving these people diplomatic immunity is just asking for trouble.

Is there a consul too? As ambassador, she should defend grapefruits' rights and ask Japanese to stop eating them.

Another media organisation sucked in by a publicity stunt, Why on earth do these things get coverage?

Instead of paying 100-150 yen for one grapefruit, I buy a liter of grapefruit juice, which contains the juice of at least 10 grapefruits, for about 150 yen. You're all welcome.

"Instead of paying 100-150 yen for one grapefruit, I buy a liter of grapefruit juice, which contains the juice of at least 10 grapefruits, for about 150 yen".
Provided that it has been labelled correctly Sarge ... bet ya didn't think of that!
Sarge, "Best Grapefruit drinkerist" of 2008!!

All this ambassador / --ist stuff is getting very very painful!
Is it only me, or are there many more of these this year than last?

Sarge...just make sure it doesn't say 10% actual grapefruit juice content, otherwise you're back to paying 150 yen for effectively 1 grapefruit...
