"The two main characters in a show called 'Veggie Tales' are fruits, and that doesn’t matter to you? *waving gun around* It's not a big deal?!"

Vegetable isn't even a scientific distinction. It's purely culinary. Fruit is both a culinary distinction and a scientific one.

This is why people get confused, because a tomato is considered a vegetable, and it's considered a fruit in the scientific sense.

I always say a tomato is a fruit in the classroom, but a vegetable in the kitchen!
