There's absolutely no denying that avocados are a rage and people can't get over it.

From smoothies and toasts, avocado hummus and dips, foodies have gone all out and experimented with the fruit.

However, now there is a strange reason why avocados are trending.

That's because vegans are placing rings inside avocados and using it to propose. Quite creative, isn't it?

No one is sure of who invented the 'avocado proposal', but almost everyone on Instagram seems to be a fan of it.

Others have taken the avocado test and this is the proof!
