The supermarket network I usually shop at lets one chose 5 product categories (out of about 30 or so) that they will get cashback from. Recently, they've decided to split categories "Tea, Coffee, Cocoa" and "Fruits & vegetables" into two new categories each: "Tea", "Coffee & Cocoa", "Fruits", and "Vegetables", — with the stated reason "to improve your shopping experience". No idea how that would improve my shopping experience, but hey, they probably know better than I do, right?


Which category are tomatoes in?


The US Supreme Court has some thoughts they'd like to share with you...

Probably Vegetables like all other Fruits that are Vegetables...


People always bring up tomatoes. Where's the love for cucumbers, squash, eggplants and peppers?!


And don't even get me started on berries!

Fun fact, eggplants and tomatoes are berries, raspberries and blackberries are not.


Cucumbers: Also berries!

BAH!


and bananas!
