I’m just going to put it out there, I don’t like fruit. I know that’s crazy, and believe you me, I have heard it all before. There is just something about its texture. Yes I know, all fruit has different texture, but they all make me feel really grossed out to chew. Apples look pretty juicy but when you bite into it, it’s this dry, no tasting crunch. Grapes have this weird squirt when you bite into it, and blueberry’s, the skin doesn’t break very well so you are chewing on skin for longer than you would think judging by the size of the tiny thing. My worst fear? Bananas. They are disgusting, and people chew them and mush it through their teething thinking it’s appetizing and it makes me want to hurl. Seriously, I didn’t write that with a smile on my face.
One thing I have to admit though, is although I do not eat the actual fruit…I love fruit flavored things. I can eat strawberry jam, raspberry juice, and blueberry gum. Name anything that has to do with an artificial fruit flavor, and I probably like it, but that’s not the point. I’m not eating the actual fruit, it is fake fruit! So i am still allowed to say that I don’t eat fruit. As soon as I have a chunk of fruit of something, it ruins it. Chunks of raspberry in my strawberry jam? I have to dig out. Chunks of raspberry in my raspberry yogurt? I have to spit out. I know this may sound strange to you, but I can’t bite down, or chew any actual piece of fruit.
Now I know what you are all thinking, and this is exactly what I am not ok with.
“Not even a juicy Pear?”
“Not even a delicious Kiwi?”
“Not even a ripe Strawberry?”
NO…I don’t like fruit! Are those all fruits? Yes! So no, I don’t like them! After anyone I tell that i don’t like fruit, their exact reply is “Not even a…”
NOOOO, I don’t like fruit!!!!
