Oh my GOD what a fantastic idea for a poll. But it's like choosing between father, son and holy ghost!

The reason I bought my first pluot was it had a sticker featuring a brontosaurus in front of the planet Saturn.

This is worse than "who would u fuk!" I can't vote. It would be wrong.

Pistachio's the one that's really throwing me, because I could eat a whole bag of 'em in one sitting. Makin' like Leslie Nielsen trying to get out of the car, ya know? But a pistachio isn't a nectarine, no sir.

I'd have to check with a botanist, but I think a brontosaurus in front of the planet Saturn is probably technically considered a drupe as well. On account of drupes are awesome, and so is that.

I voted for raspberries, but I felt bad about it. Awww, peaches! So delicious with...raspberries!

But I actually have been consuming HUGE quantities of cherries.

I bought a giant bag of cherries because houseguests were coming—it cost 32 dollars—the cashier asked me if I was sure, and in a fit of grandiosity I said NO PROBLEM. Then I forgot about them and they TURNED INTO COMPOST.

How big does a bag of cherries have to be to cost $32 dollars? Were you going to fill a tub with them?

omg beth that is so sad! cherries are the only fruit that ever surprise me with their price once at the checkout. which is why i only buy them when they are btwn 1.99 and 2.99/lb. anything more than that is how you get a $32 bag of cherries

i still do not know what this thread is about

Peaches totally shut out?!??

Wow.

It's the summer of the nectarine. I just made dessert with peaches tonight though.

This is drupe season, for sure. To not eat drupes is to be a big poop.

To the person who invented white peaches - WTF? Did you consciously set out to develop a peach-like object with absolutely no peach flavor? Yes, a good peach is sweet, but it is also PEACHY ffs.

two years pass...

These red plums feel like they're radiating some kind of inner light. Oh lord, why do they come but once a year?
