As with so much in Chinese culture, it comes down to wordplay. In Cantonese, the pronunciation of gat1 (桔, “mandarin oranges”) is the same as gat1 (吉, "luck" or “auspiciousness”).
Gift a mandarin to wish your loved ones 大吉大利, 吉祥如意 (dà jí dà lì, jí xiáng rú yì; Abundant Fortune & Luck) this Lunar New Year!

My Story:
Not your average mandarin, Tucker is bursting with energy! Peeled to perfection, this little bundle of energy cannot rest until he turns your whole world upside down. From sunrise to sunset, Tucker perks up any bad day with laughter and non-stop galavanting.
How I was made:
