sapatia
Round, oblate, ovaloid, ellipsoidal, or conical fruit varying in size from 2 to 4 in (5-10 cm) in width. The immature fruit is hard and has a sandpaper like texture. Typically, the fruit does not ripen until it is picked or falls off the tree. When ripe, the fruit becomes soft and juicy. The flesh may be yellow, reddish brown, or dark brown with smooth or grainy textures. While some fruits may be seedless, they typically contain 3 - 10 hard black seeds in the center. The fruit is considered to be very delicious and is highly desired. The sap or gum from the tree is also a source of 'chicle' the original ingredient used to make chewing gum.

scrutchy
A fast paced game where two throwers stand some distance apart from each other and attempt to hit one or more opposing players in the space between them with a ball (usually a box ball). The throwers do not move while the dodgers are free to run within the space. If the dodgers get hit, they are out and trade places with the throwers. To avoid getting hit, the dodgers often have to perform a great deal of acrobatics. It is primarily a girls' game, however boys will frequently participate.
