      That is the colloquial definition. The scientific definition of a berry differs a bit.

        Yeah, well scientists just like making things more complicated so they can feel important

        If it’s a small fruit you can pop in your mouth without a stone, it’s a berry

          Nah, science just deals with clear functional definitions over gut feeling

        They said often sweet, not…

        I can’t think of something disgusting to properly describe how much I hate cherry tomatoes.
