I always love the "explaining dnd stats with a tomato" bit:

Strength is being able to throw a tomato really far.

Dexterity is being able to catch the tomato thrown really far.

Constitution is being fine after eating a bad tomato.

Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit.

Wisdom is knowing a tomato doesn't go in fruit salad.

Charisma is being able to sell a tomato based fruit salad.

Also, obligatory "salsa is tomato in a fruit salad".

Isn't a tomato the only fruit in salsa?

...no, salsa is mostly peppers...

Can't forget about peppers

I hadn't but wasn't thinking of them as fruit, also has a lot of onions which also isn't a fruit.

You know you can just put whatever you want in your salsa right, no cop is gonna stop you. I have a very nice mango salsa the other night, it was only one step removed from a fancy fruit salad.

And the obligatory response to the “tomato-based fruit salad” response: “found the bard!”

Alternatively you could stick with the theme established by the first two stats and say that constitution is throwing a tomato really far repeatedly.
