After Rick Ross proclaimed pears as the fruit of his choice, some people unequivocally made the green snack their fruit of the week. According to Modern Farmer, Ricky's decision to tap into the pear market inflated their presence on social media. Here's what USA Pears' spokeswoman Kathy Stephenson had to say regarding Ricky's contributions.

“On behalf of our 1,600 pear growers from the Northwest region, we are pleased that Rick has mentioned the health benefits of pears,” Stephenson writes in an email to Modern Farmer, adding that pears provide 24 percent of the recommended daily intake of fiber, which helps curb an appetite. “Overall, we could not be more pleased with our message being delivered to a new, young and hip demographic.”

They also credited Ross for helping their twitter account land hundreds of new followers. The power of the boss.
