Mini mangos!

randomnessOne of the produce highlights of my visit to China was the mini mangos. They were easy to find in most grocery stores. They were yellow, between two and three inches long, and very sweet.
They were delicious, and I bought them at nearly every opportunity. I feel like they have a similar relation to larger American mangos that baby bananas have to the regular kind you encounter in supermarkets: sweeter and more flavorful, though smaller. But I cannot find them here in the States, which is not surprising but sad.
Has anyone else seen these? And if you know where to find them, please let me know.

I've also had different mangoes (from the "US" version) in India, Malaysia, Kenya, and Barbados. I've heard that they grow many different kinds of mangoes in India, but perhaps I was too dazed while in India to notice.
