Well that explains it. She obviously also plays his lover in another commercial, as well as his nemesis, and also the Folgers QA rep, so he was confused.
I believe that’s actually a Kiwano, also referred to as the Horned Melon, or the African Horned Cucumber. Durians are huge, and a different color. You see these a lot in Star Trek. Sometimes they’re spray painted a crazy colour.
Also, leola root is just spray painted ginger, I’m pretty sure
I hope they do an episode where he plays every character they meet. Maybe he can be a character like Mr. Smith from the Matrix that keeps taking over the bodies of everyone they encounter
This is the real reason Star Fleet is mostly human. Only very exceptional members of other species can stand working with humans. They even talk about this in Enterprise. Before T’Pol, the longest a Vulcan had managed to serve aboard a Star Fleet ship was two weeks. In Lower Decks, Captain Vendome built a crew of entirely Bolians. It’s now my headcanon that this is because they just wanted a break from those damn humans. I believe there’s also an all Vulcan ship in DS9, which was absolutely because they couldn’t stand those humans.
