1. Well, our state fruit had to have a companion. |
|
Instead of the strawberry, though, I think it would be more fitting if our state fruit were the lemon. It describes the type of representation we largely have in Oklahoma.
Defective.

11. Watermelon is a fruit |

I was sure the state vegetable would be corn. As in "the corn is as high as an elephants eye." As ascribed to Oklahoma by a couple of guys. From New York.

A watermelon is NOT a vegetable. People in a state with a big ag base should know that. Fire the dolts ;)

16. Technically, watermelon is a vegetable. |
|
All fruits are vegetables, many vegetables are not fruits.
If it comes from a plant, i.e. vegetation, techincally it's vegetable.
Just so we're all on the same page.

28. I suppose but common usage thinks they're fruit. And then there are tomatos |

24. Ha! We have a state fossil and a state grass and a state soil |
|
but we don't seem to have a state vegetable out here in California (sniff!) I'll ask my assemblyperson to get to work on it - maybe it will distract him from his other half-baked ideas. For a complete list see http://www.library.ca.gov/history/cahinsig.cfm#Heading18
