It's just interesting that there's a distinction between botanical and culinary classification. Once you realise that there are two different systems that don't necessarily need to completely agree then it's not a big deal.

...also, what exactly is wrong with taking a bite out of a tomato like an apple? They're delicious.

My driving instructor ate tomatoes like apples, got a whole wooden crate of them in the morning and a shaker of salt, I probably could've mowed down a few pedestrians as long as that man had his tomatoes.

This is the kind of guy who eats tomatoes as fruits

Do you want to be like that guy?

A burger meal is mostly vegetable and fruits, vegetable bread a thin slice of meat. served with vegetable potatoes (fries), vegetable hot sauce, tomatoes, and a vegetable drink filled with the vegetable corn syrup.

vegetables are good for you, they say.

Tomatoes and fruits are a great litmus test (no pun intended) to see if a person can recognize the domain of their knowledge. Some people glomp onto a fact that is correct in some scenarios and use it as an "umm actually" where it isn't appropriate or even correct (like the definition of racism)

unironically tho eating tomatoes straight up is pretty fire

As someone who thinks tomatoes are vegetables, I would eat more tomatoes like apples if they didn't give me canker sores every time.
