This isn't a fruit salad it's a fruit monopoly

[–] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

It's a metaphor for the rich minority living on the backs of the working class.

[–] robolemmy@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago

You sure they didn’t say fruit sadness?

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Could be worse, at least there's no grapefruit.

[–] fiat_lux@kbin.social 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You know, I've never seen grapefruit in a fruit salad where I live. This had never occurred to me before, but I am grateful for it.

[–] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Or would you say you're "grapeful" for it?

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I agree 💯, haven't seen grapefruit either. I don't think it would go well in a salad. I do like grapefruit otherwise.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think ruby red grapefruit could work. But also, a lot of people, me included, can't have grapefruit because it has a negative reaction with a lot of medications, so maybe it's best they don't.

Which sucks, because I love grapefruit. And grapefruit juice.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Huh interesting, had no idea. I sometimes take fexofenadine. I didn't know grapefruit could reduce its effectiveness. I'm glad I don't take any drug that interacts the opposite way with the grapefruit.

[–] umulu@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is that a single piece of orange?

Cause, from where I am, orange is cheaper than watermelon. So... Wouldn't it make more sense to have more orange?

This is confusing...

[–] vox@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

but watermelon is still cheaper per cubic meter right?
it's not as dense as orange

[–] dodgy_bagel@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I reckon watermelons are cheaper than ramen noodle around here.

(I live in mellon land. No trees; just mellon. I think I've seen a fruit tree once in my life.)

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow all watermelon? Could be worse. I always get shafted with a bowl of 90% honeydew melon pieces with one or two bits of something else. I’ve actually lied and said I’m allergic to melon so I can get something else.

[–] fiat_lux@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I assumed they would fill it with the cheapest possible fruit, which at the time I knew happened to be watermelon. If it were honeydew, I wouldn't have bought it at all, I think. I share your dislike of honeydew

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Honeydew is a garbage fruit.

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

you people are spoiled; melon is melon

[–] assassinatedbyCIA@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Watermelon with orange garnish

[–] TheCrispyDud@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looks like a fruit salad I'd make in Project Zomboid.

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Just needs dog food for protein

[–] Gallardo994@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wouldn't mind a plate of seedless watermelon tho

[–] Rootiest@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Plus it probably still has that mixed fruit juice in it for extra flavor

[–] EvilLootbox@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

This has been always my experience when the restaurant offers as a side a ______ or a "seasonal fruit salad"

It happened twice.

[–] insufferableninja@lemdro.id 8 points 1 year ago

i mean it is called fruit salad not fruits salad

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Who decided to put oranges in the untasty territory? And how are they difficult???

[–] IMongoose@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oranges have been some of the most inconsistent fruit for me tbh. A good orange is great, but it's just as likely to be tasteless or sour. I do live far from orange farms though, so that's probably the issue.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

True.

I got some sources that ship straight from Calabria, Italy.
Buying it by the crate.

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Randall seems to dislike citrus fruits (see grapefruit).

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

bad take from Randall >:(
At least their other takes are good.

[–] itsralC@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I don't agree with anything

[–] barsoap@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Grapefruits are actually tasty and easy, you just have to do it right: Cut in half so that you slice all the segments, pour sugar over the cuts, then use a tea spoon, the more acute the tip is the better. They're still tart but it's the right kind of tartness.

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I don't agree with the position of banana

[–] TheInsane42@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Argh. But be glad they didn't add tomato. Also technically correct, but you wouldn't want it.

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I don't think that's even technically "fruit salad"...

[–] WashedOver@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Kind of looks like Mr Inject Bleach among a bunch of Ruskies. I wonder if they think he smells too?

[–] toy_boat_toy_boat@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What makes a salad?

here, i have some lettuce. and - here - i have some carrots. let's mix 'em!

salad?

and why is lettuse such a nessecary ingredient? i mean oh my it's a leaf

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Salad means "salted" - in this context because you could prepare vegetables by cooking them, or eating them raw with salt and oil, as the Roman's would do, thus creating the "salad" we know today
