What's the most overrated fruit?

Pear is the worst by far..Its not even a matter of opinion...Its a fact.

Some of these other mentions....have you not had Pear? NVM DON'T TRY IT!

Apples are horrible

Fuck Bananas and fuck honeydew melon.

Strawberry. Like one in 10 is actually sweet, and you get those little seeds stuck in your teeth. Screw that.
Also its the lamest fruit flavoring besides bannana.
 
strawberries, it's roll the dice when it comes to getting a good carton, and they go bad fast

people think honeydew is overrated? when is the last time someone talked about honeydew? they are WAY underrated
 
Pears. I mean, they're not awful tasting or anything. It just exists, but somehow people think it's in the same league as apples and oranges. It's not. Enjoy a pear if you want, but don't act like it's some ethereal fruit from the heavens.
 
Blueberries, their pretty damn boring flavour wise.

Only the American blueberries, European are pretty good. Unfortunately the American blueberries are easier to cultivate and become bigger, so even in Europe this is now the berries most places are selling as blueberries.

In my country American blueberries aren't even called blueberries this has resulted in court cases etc. From companies that called them blueberries, unfortunately in the end cooperations won so they can sell their shit berries and out compete anyone who is selling the legit European blueberries.

What we have over here are actually called 'bilberries' in English. And yes, they are amazing, though stain everything if you're not careful.
 
Grapefruit is horrendous! And glad to see Dragonfruit mentioned...for such a dramatic name and appearance, it's pretty tasteless...I hear it's got lots of vitamins though, and sure it could be blended with other things for a smoothie, but it's pretty expensive for what it is.

Shame to see so many banana mentions, but I kinda get it. For me, growing up in NYC, i'd love it with other foods like sliced on top of my cereal or oatmeal, but never a big deal to eat it on its own...however, spending the last few years off and on in Puerto Rico, and having some bananas grown there (Lares!)....WOW...like night and day. Naturally sweet, and the actual "banana" flavor is amped up.

Strawberries are frustrating because the gulf between sweet and blegh is huge...and looks(color, size) can definitely be deceiving.
 
I like every fruit Ive had, so I dont think any are overrated.

The only one that is definitively "meh" is starfruit. Its just sort of bland tasting.
 
Blueberries are garbage. Bilberries are amazing.

Unfortunately, imported blueberries have started replacing native bilberries over here.

Blueberries suck as well. I like mulberries

Apples, Bananas, Strawberries and Blueberries remain the worst
 
Everybody in this thread is the worst and have been put on my ignore list.

Fruits are the gifts of the gods. They are da bess types of food and I'm glad that we live in a modern society where we can eat all different kinds year round.
 
Also, feel sorry for our American cousins, guys. 99% of Americans have never tasted a blackcurrant:

Why 99.9% of Americans have never tasted blackcurrant but Europeans love it

About the Black Currant, America's Forbidden Fruit

That's also why Skittles are inferior in the US as their purple Skittle is grape rather than the superior blackcurrant.

No joke, sir.
I've never met a person in real life who loves bananas.

Strange. They're great. I eat at least three a day. Usually more.

They are also by far the most popular fruit in the UK.
 
I love all fruits. They're all great.

Except Blueberries. Fuck Blueberries. Also fuck Avocados

Take a mango, cut it into squares of about an inch big. Take a Pomegranate, cut it in half and and tap all the red thingies out of it. Add blueberries and then take half a lime and squeeze it over the top and mix everything together = heaven.


Also, people hate bananas? lol what?

My parents always get strawberries from a local farmer and those are always sweet as hell and great quality. Strawberries are amazing.

Bananas on the other hand, those suck.
 
A lot of fruit get turned into bullshit because they're so focused on creating giant beasts with no flavor. Lots of apples are mealy mush, but having smaller than your fist apples that will never win any beauty contests are divine.
 
Papaya, the worst fruit ever created (except if you want a cheap laxative), and tamarillo (tomate de árbol), taking this one on a daily basis for a year is the worst thing ever.
 
Apples, annoying to eat, average taste and the noise of other people eating them like beavers pisses me off

Mango is the worst tasting fruit
 
It's very strange.

I can only assume they're eating shitty bananas?

It's like people don't know when to eat them.
They either are underripe or past their prime, that's the only reasonable explanation.
Same with mangos, lol. Who the hell hates perfectly ripe mangos? :-/
 
I pity you poor folks living in countries where pears are mushy and bananas are inedible and apples are as sweet as candies and oranges have no juice.


Having said that, I hate raspberries.

Blackberries OTOH, are godly.

And most apples are just ok (Fuji and pink lady are good)
 
Oh wait never mind bananas are bland but Durians are just horrible. It is the only fruit i would call disgusting and the smell oh god the smell.
 
I'd agree with watermelon simply because there are far juicier melon varieties available that don't get the same praises.

That's not to say watermelon is bad, but honeydew is nicer.
