The Avocado Challenge, hosted through a collaboration between Avocados From Mexico and popular health-tracking app MyFitnessPal, ran in September 2019, October 2019, and January 2020. The campaigns urged those willing to participate to eat 30 or more avocados in 60 days for a chance to win various prizes. Given the popularity of the fruit—"in 2018, avocados were the second-most popular item that MyFitnessPal users put into their food-tracking logs," the Avocado Challenge was met with enthusiasm. It was reported that more than 562,000 MyFitnessPal users engaged in the campaigns, "logging in about 196,000 avocados, per the announcement."
