Those following along in other countries should also know that, amongst younger people, an Avocado is a typical house warming gift to friends who have recently purchased a house. Which, when you stop and think about it makes even less sense that the original proposition.

They likely never had avocados before (which is how they could afford to buy a house).

Doesn't match up.
You realize that a lot of people don't live in hyper-expensive cities and purchasing a house even in your early 20s is not a huge deal? Here in North East of UK you only need about 10k for a deposit for a new house, it's hardly impossible to save that much if you have a job. London, sure - it's almost impossible. But not everyone lives in London.

I was replying to a (tongue in cheek?) comment about young people, avocados culture, and Australian home ownership. The assumption was this was specifically referring to Sydney and Melbourne.
What would the original proposition be?
Here (Germany) it is a loaf of bread and some salt I think; is it the same?
