What Is the Best Fruit In the World?

If you said Plums, you'd be wrong. There's a guy in my office who says his favorite fruit is the plumb. ABSURD! That's like, quite possibly the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life.

plums suck. watermelon, peaches, strawberries, blueberries, even apples and oranges: all good arguments. plums: not.

a plum incident as a child scarred me for life.

a: red grapefruit. b: white peaches. c: all berries (except cherries, which get lumped in with berries, and they're not.)

and bananas suck ass

i bought oranges yesterday. the price wasn't listed. 3 oranges for a dollar each. that is CRAZY. and not even organic oranges.

since everyone is loving this fruit discussion, i had to add the latest in my life of fruit.

grapes: delicious. i could eat them all the time.
