What about fruit, you may be asking?
The answer is, I don't know!
Well, okay, *I* know what *I'll* be writing about. But my fellow Alliteratus? Well, it's up to them what they'll be writing about, about fruit. Maybe they'll tell you about a time they couldn't find fruit. Or a time fruit saved their life. Or their favorite fruit. Or what fruit means to them. Or what the scientific definition of a fruit is, and whether tomatoes and cucumbers should REALLY count.
Really, the possibilities are endless.
But what I want to talk to you about, about fruit, (wow that's even more awkward the second time), is the pineapple.
Bear with me, my friends.
It's just... okay. Look. Some things, I totally understand. I mean, just look at apples and peaches. They are shiny/ fuzzy, appealing/ attractive/ smell good. Or berries-- berries are smushy and stain your fingers all sorts of exciting colors. I can totally see early man walking up to a blackberry bush and testing that shizz out.
But a pineapple???
First of all, have you ever seen a pineapple plant? No? Well, conveniently, I happen to carry a picture of one around with me at all times here on the internet:
Yeah. There you go.
What sort of maniac walked up to this spiky plant, took a look at the VERY spiky thing sitting on top, and said, "Hey, that looks tasty!"
(Strange fact... if you plant a whole pineapple [or even just cut off the top and plant it], it will grow! The top of the pineapple= the strange spiky plant seen here. It's pineapples all the way down).
Okay, so I'm glad they did it. If I had to pick a favorite fruit, pineapple's definitely up there. But still. It's weird.
Not to mention the effort you have to go through just to eat the darn things.
Don't even get me started on coconuts.
What's your favorite fruit?

LOL! It's pineapples all the way down!
Yeah, the first time I tried to cut one up, I said, "This fruit definitely doesn't want me to eat it."
You know what? I think I might have to do a fruit-oriented post at Author's Echo. There is some weird junk out here.
Blueberries. They are definitely my favorite fruit. Not nearly as weird as pineapples. The pineapples do look better on hats.
*though
Haha! "Don't even get me started on coconuts."
I guess when you're hungry and out in the wilderness, you'll try to eat anything that might possibly have nutrients. Hence people eating bugs ... ew!!
