Green bell peppers.  The way I understand it is here in Indy-By-Gawd-Anna 
after WWver2.0 people tried to sell green pepper plants and they weren't 
having success, so they called them "Mango Pepper" plants and they've been 
"Mangoes" to a lot of folks here-abouts ever since.

Just so you know we're not all that different, a "toboggan" around here is 
a hat.  Everywhere else it's a sled.
