Those are both great.
If you want to get rid of something, get rid of the Kiwi fruit. Too many seeds and it looks like a testicle.

Promote Lung Health
If you or someone you love is a smoker, or if you are frequently exposed to secondhand smoke, then making vitamin A-rich foods, such as papaya, part of your healthy way of eating may save your life, suggests research conducted at Kansas State University.
While studying the relationship between vitamin A, lung inflammation, and emphysema, Richard Baybutt, associate professor of nutrition at Kansas State, made a surprising discovery: a common carcinogen in cigarette smoke, benzo(a)pyrene, induces vitamin A deficiency.
Baybutt's earlier research had shown that laboratory animals fed a vitamin A-deficient diet developed emphysema. His latest animal studies indicate that not only does the benzo(a)pyrene in cigarette smoke cause vitamin A deficiency, but that a diet rich in vitamin A can help counter this effect, thus greatly reducing emphysema.
Baybutt believes vitamin A's protective effects may help explain why some smokers do not develop emphysema. "There are a lot of people who live to be 90 years old and are smokers," he said. "Why? Probably because of their dietÂ…The implications are that those who start smoking at an early age are more likely to become vitamin A deficient and develop complications associated with cancer and emphysema. And if they have a poor diet, forget it." If you or someone you love smokes, or if your work necessitates exposure to second hand smoke, protect yourself by making sure that at least one of the World's Healthiest Foods that are rich in vitamin A, such as papaya, is a daily part of your healthy way of eating.
Interesting. I've never had papaya. What's it taste like? Sad part is I've worked a couple years in produce and never bothered to try it.
not my graph
also, watermelons are nice.
the seeds put it in the difficult section. If you think it's tasteless, it's because you never tasted watermelon from the mediterrean.

Limes useless? Yeah right, you can even cook with its juice! I mean, if you have fish or meat, slice it really thin, sprinkle over lime juice and let it sit for a while, the fish/meat will be cooked. The lime juice has special enzymes that start the cooking process naturally, without adding heat or anything. When you order fish carpaccio, it's usually cooked with lime juice. Therefore, I posit that lime is the most useful fruit ever. And it's deliciously tasteful as well.

I've got the same with Coconut.Ferrio said:
Who the hell wants to smell like coconut? If you want to smell like something, make it a fresh, nice, light smell. Not a scruffy, warm, danky stink. Yet girls use it all the time: shampoo, deodorant, parfume, body milk.
As a matter of fact, I don't understand how people like to smell like something you can recognise. Sometimes it's OK (in case of flowers), but in general I prefer parfums of which you can't immediately tell what they're made of/meant to smell like.
Grapefruit is good in the morning to get that sleep-breath out of your mouth. I actually just drink grapefruit juice, since it takes way to much time to prepare a real one.
And papayas are the worst. I went on a vacation to Cancun once, had a bunch of fruit for breakfast (all-inclusive
), and I nearly threw up when I was about to eat the papaya. It smells like vomit. Horrible, I threw it out.

That's only because Chinese parents force it on their kids which makes them hate it.

The durian: smelliest, rank fruit I have ever seen. Why the hell do people eat it?
This is the only correct answer and I'm sure even this has a use....maybe....that shit stinks.
