I tried simply "melon" for the fruit. I didn't realize that the two listed varieties are different enough to not allow the common name for either of them.

A honeydew is actually more like a cantaloupe.

Intelligence is knowing an avocado is (botanically) a fruit. Wisdom is not putting avocado in a fruit salad...or in this quiz.

In all seriousness, the USDA lists Avocados as vegetables and they are nutritionally closer to vegetables. Also, if including this, why not include tomatoes?

Haha nice comment, if it weren't "borrowed" from a well-known saying about tomatoes. In the case of avocados, not so much. In fact, in Brazil they'll often take big scoops of avocado, sprinkle the stuff with lime to keep it from browning, then add sugar and serve it in a bowl with other stuff that basically makes it a milkshake of sorts. Down in South America they've basically come up with every possible way you can serve avocados. Here's a fascinating article I read on the subject:

Believe it or not, avocado and strawberries go really well together, like in a salad, or in a tasty salsa!

Yes they are (and so are avocadoes), but people come up with the most convoluted and nonsensical reasons to deny it just because they aren't sweet. Logic fail.

Yes. But botanically, many of our "vegetables" and all grains are fruit, as well. There's no point in going by the botanical definition because it gets us nowhere. The culinary definition works just fine.

The drug interaction issue really is part of the reason for the downward trend in grapefruit sales! The others are, well, hurricanes, and also the decreased demand in Japan. (The Japanese have traditionally loved them some Florida grapefruit, but are losing interest because we’re not able to keep them reliably supplied.)

Kind of shocked by the list. I had assumed apples or oranges would be number one and while I know bananas are popular it's amazing a fruit that is 99% imported would be our number one fruit.

I'd say bananas' incredibly low prices are probably part of the reason it's so popular.

If tangerines are under oranges then apricots might be under peaches. But I think the real answer is just that they're not as popular.

Perhaps accept "sweet melon" for Honey Dew? It's different from cantaloupe, and that's what they're called in most supermarkets I've seen.

Are those not shockingly low numbers across the board? Only 73% of people have bought a banana in the last year? Less than that for apples and nearly half the population didn't buy an orange? I'm clearly out of touch as I would have guessed more people would have purchased at least 15 of 20 than the number of people who didn't even buy a banana.

Tomatoes are fruits. Not sure where the quiz source gets its classification from, but tomatoes are most certainly NOT vegetables.
