Well, I have not (yet) tried sitting in a bath but, IMHO, the best place to
eat a mango is while sitting on the tree. And preferably the a tree in a
compound that you are not supposed to be in. Additional delight is provided
when  you can see the old woman, whose house is in the compound, peeking out
of her window trying to make sure no kids are trying to sneak into her
compound.

And the type of mango? Surely, it is got to be the 'sucking' mango found in
E.Africa. All you have to do is bite a little bit of the bottom tip off,
press the mango and all the juices squirt into your mouth. Then your go for
the next one..........

This 'sucking' mango is so sweet that not a drop will escape you or run down
your arm. And anyway, the best way is not to have mango juice on your hands
unless you want to be attacked by the red or black ants,  depending what
tree you are on.
