This was sold as a "fruit salad". Technically the truth, but not the best kind of truth.

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

  You sure they didn’t say fruit sadness?

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

    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.

      Or would you say you’re “grapeful” for it?

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

  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 ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    but watermelon is still cheaper per kilogram right?

  • dodgy_bagel@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I reckon watermelons are cheaper than ramen noodle around here.

  fuck it, go full mathematician. Serve an empty bowl on the grounds that it’s a vacuous fruit salad, every ingredient in it is a fruit

  source

  • kSPvhmTOlwvMd7Y7E@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    But then again, the same bowl is also a full bowl of “nonfruit” 😩

  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.

  source

  • fiat_lux@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    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

    source

    • TexasDrunk@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Honeydew is a garbage melon.

  Why did you buy it

  source

  • fiat_lux@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Because I wanted a fruit salad and did not anticipate this level of cheaping out by the people who made it. Do you open your burger at a fast food place and count the ingredients in front of the staff to make sure the cook didn't short you?

    source

    • Daxtron2@startrek.website ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      It’s clear plastic, you can see what you’re getting before you pick it up.

      As a restaurant manager, I rather you would. If we fucked up, I can fix it faster the sooner I found out.

    But why are you trying to blame op?

    They could have had it delivered so had no choice, or maybe were in a rush and just grabbed a thing off the shelf without paying too much attention, or a bunch of other possible reasons, or maybe they even chose it deliberately so they could complain, but none of those make it their fault that the product wasn't as advertised, and either way, if they hadn't grabbed it, someone else would have.

    • Daxtron2@startrek.website ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I’m not saying it’s a good thing for them to sell but generally you have a choice to not buy something like this.

  I wouldn’t mind a plate of seedless watermelon tho

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

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

    source

    • IMongoose@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      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.

      Randall seems to dislike citrus fruits (see grapefruit).

    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.

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

  It happened twice.

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

  I don’t think that’s even technically “fruit salad”…

  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 ⁨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
