Real world examples are always good however this is much better than most tutorials which use really really generic implementations which are much harder to understand than this hybrid example. this beats a foo bar example by far

its psychological you are more likely to remember and learn something faster if you can "relate" it to something you have already learned, since it is very likely you have encountered a fruit or a pet or an object in real life, vs the abstract concept, it is in theory, easier to grasp - particularly if it is difficult subject matter.
