I’d say you missed a great opportunity for a Gaijin Smash. “Watermelons are veggies? Fuck that; they are totally fruits!! Anyone who says otherwise gets a powerbomb because I’m bigger, stronger, and totally barbaric. Gaijin Smash!”

I think that’s what it is. “Watermelons are really vegetables” is the sort of trivia kids are exposed to in elementary school. Sort of like “peanuts aren’t nuts.” As a matter of fact, when I asked my wife, she answered: “the answer you’re looking for is vegetable, right?”

Yes, that’s pretty much what I found out by running this by a typical Middle Age Man in our company. Everyone calls them fruit and eat them like fruit.
