You sure they didn’t say fruit sadness?
This was sold as a "fruit salad". Technically the truth, but not the best kind of truth.

Could be worse, at least there’s no grapefruit.
fiat_lux@kbin.social 11 months ago
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 months ago
Or would you say you’re “grapeful” for it?
Mothra@mander.xyz 11 months ago
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 11 months ago
but watermelon is still cheaper per kilogram right?
dodgy_bagel@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months 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
kSPvhmTOlwvMd7Y7E@lemmy.world 11 months ago
But then again, the same bowl is also a full bowl of “nonfruit” 😩
scarabic@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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 11 months 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
Daxtron2@startrek.website 11 months ago
Why did you buy it
fiat_lux@kbin.social 11 months 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?
Daxtron2@startrek.website 11 months ago
It’s clear plastic, you can see what you’re getting before you pick it up.
Decoy321@lemmy.world 11 months ago
As a restaurant manager, I rather you would. If we fucked up, I can fix it faster the sooner I found out.
DessertStorms@kbin.social 11 months ago
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 11 months 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.

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

i mean it is called fruit salad not fruits salad
Gallardo994@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
I wouldn’t mind a plate of seedless watermelon tho
Rootiest@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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???
IMongoose@lemmy.world 11 months 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.
hakunawazo@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Randall seems to dislike citrus fruits (see grapefruit).
barsoap@lemm.ee 11 months 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.
itsralC@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I don’t agree with anything

I don’t agree with the position of banana

This has been always my experience when the restaurant offers as a side a ______ or a “seasonal fruit salad”
It happened twice.
TheInsane42@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Argh. But be glad they didn’t add tomato. Also technically correct, but you wouldn’t want it.
MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I don’t think that’s even technically “fruit salad”…
WashedOver@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Kind of looks like Mr Inject Bleach among a bunch of Ruskies. I wonder if they think he smells too?

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 11 months 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
dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world 11 months ago
This isn’t a fruit salad it’s a fruit monopoly

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