A dingle is a small, red fruit, found mainly on the coast of South Africa.
History
First discovered by Christopher Columbus, as he made the first safari across Africa, the dingleberry is now considered one of the most poisonous fruits. Rivaled only by holly-berries and gossamer, the dingle accounts for more than 100 deaths world-wide each year, while growing in an area only the size of Long Island.
Currently farmed by Wangos and other Dirt Farmers, the dingle is sold on the world market as a dietary supplement.
Medicinal Usages
The Dingle is grown for medical and recreational use, although both are in decline since the advent of Advil. From a medical standpoint, dingles are used in many surgeries, including appendectomies and craniectomies.
As an alternative to leeches and FSMs, the dingle has steadily grown from a home-remedy to a multinational market.
Cautions
- Dingles are poisonous, and should not be licked, inhaled, or crammed up one's nose
- Dangles are often mistaken for Dingles, and this sort of mistake can be fatal.
- Dongles are usually not poisonous unless you get one stuck in your USB socket.
