"Did you know that tomato is a fruit 🤓?"

This is a fun fact that for reason annoys me (not really, but I lack a better word) when I see it in the wild, in the comment section under some TikToks. Because it is both correct and incorrect, and I feel like a lot of people that spread it don't understand why.

Yes, tomatoes are fruits biologically - but vegetables in culinary sense. Why? Probably because there is no such things as a vegetable in biology. Cucumbers are also fruits, same as paprikas.  Carrots and beetroots both are (who would have guessed it)  roots and celery is I guess a stalk (don't quote me on that). And every single vegetable is something else in biology, because the truth is - the veggie is a lie.

What I mean is that I just want to see the same energy used to comment that "tomato is a fruit" applied to other vegetables. When someone post a cooking recipe that has cilantro in it I want to see not only comments about how some people have a gene that makes it taste like soap, but also bunch of "did you know that cilantro is actually a leaf?" (again, don't quote me on that, I have no clue what part of cilantro is eaten). Why are only tomatoes allowed to feel special? We need to introduce equality to culinary world. 

Also I have no clue if any fruits are biologically not fruits. Nothing comes to my mind, but if there are I want to know about them.
