Bravocado (bravo + avocado)
“Bravocado” (bravo + avocado) is the name of a brand of avocados (trademarked since 1954). “Bravocado” has also been the name of a sandwich (cheese, avocado, and sprouts on homemade grain bread, according to a 2008 cite) and a protein shake (vanilla protein, avocados, honey, soymilk, according to a 2013 cite). The Subway sandwich stores advertised “BRAVOCADO!” in 2012, promoting sandwiches such as the Turkey & Bacon with Avocado.
Similar food terms include “eggcellent” (egg + excellent), “fermentastic” (ferment + fantastic) and “lobsterrific” (lobster + terrific).

While I enjoyed my really good artichoke sandwich, I kept thinking about the Bravocado - brie and avocado sandwich, and how wonderful it would be.

Fact is Better: Bon Appletite
After drinking one too many martini’s, The Photographer and I decided to stumble back to his apartment up through the city. Along our route, we passed a Subway with a giant sign advertising that they currently had avocado available for their sandwiches. It said in big, bold, italicized letters “BRAVOCADO!” This ignited something in The Photographer and the following tirade ensued…
The Photographer: “I don’t like ‘Bravocado.’ I don’t get it.”
Me: “Because it’s avocado season at Subway. And they’re cheering themselves on for it. Bravo. Avocado… Bravocado.”
The Photographer: “No, I understand that. I just think it’s stupid. They aren’t the opera. They aren’t an orchestra. They aren’t a conductor. Why are we telling them bravo?! BRAVO FOR HAVING AVOCADOS?! That’s just stupid.”
