not "some"... just about everybody.... except a few contrarians

you guys are like the smug smart azz dweeb who thinks he's being cool, knowing factoids that are not socially relevant...other scientifically categorized "fruits" like tomatoes that are commonly used as vegetables are cucumbers, squash, peppers, avocados...all of which are found near other vegetables in the produce area.....do you ever see any of them in a fruit salad?

it's like calling a non-Kleenex tissue by it's correct term: facial tissue, instead of kleenex...who does that, and why?


the SCOTUS decided that tomatoes are VEGETABLES more than a century ago...

True, though having bits of tomato in a fruit salad would probably be preferable to having bits of zucchini (which are also botanically a fruit) in it ...

ludicrous, if true ... could they also "decide" that the moon is made of green cheese ???

or habeneros or jalapenos or even bell pepper...all botanically fruits but not commonly recognized, or used, as fruits...



Nix v. Hedden, 149 U.S. 304 (1893), was a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States that, under U.S. customs regulations, the tomato should be classified as a vegetable rather than a fruit.
