    Is “peach” just a euphemism for “buttocks” or is there a deeper meaning here?

    If we’re counting plants in general:

    • Dutch - Tulip Mania
    • Many places - Opium and similar plant based drugs.
    • America - Lettuce lead to the downfall of many people’s bowels this past year.

    I’ve read an urban fantasy book series where a genetically engineered tomato wiped out almost all humans… Does that count?

    In a roundabout way, the pineapple caused the downfall of the Hawaiian nation.

    One apple in the current season of US Traitors caused viewers to have to sit through so much camera time of that annoying dudebro with the crazy dental work.

    Is sugar a fruit? A lot of drama centered around sugar crops

      it’s more of an extract rather than something that the plant grows that can be classified as “fruit”. cane and beets are 10-20% sucrose. Even in the most concentrated parts, no one would call that sugar even if it is quite sweet, it needs to be purified further.

      Oh, he did plenty wrong. Being a “fruit” wasn’t really much of a factor, tho.
