Grape Skittles don't taste like grapes either

They do actually! Artificial grape flavoring tastes like Concord grapes, which taste completely different from the Thompson (or “table”) grapes that are normally found in supermarkets.

The first time I had a concord grape I was amazed. ‘It tastes like purple!’

I’m trying really hard not to laugh out loud in the dark right now.

But this is because the two things sound the same, in one language.

It would be like ordering dogwood berries and they mail you a chunk of raw dog.
FairfaxGirl t1_jcz14gm wrote
“Sound the same in one language”? What is that supposed to mean? Botanically, ornamental cherry trees, sweet cherry trees, and sour cherry trees are all prunus trees. Of course the blossoms don’t taste the same as the fruit, that isn’t because the trees are some totally unrelated plants that just have names that rhyme or something.
glopmod OP t1_jcz2kgb wrote
People don't make the assumption that cherry blossom flavored food tastes like cherry because the trees are biologically similar.
​
They make the assumption because they assume a cherry blossom flavor tastes like cherries.
​
If everything cherry blossom flavored was called sakura no one would make that mistake.
​
I didn't say or suggest they were totally unrelated plants.

In my experience, dogwood and dogs are not remotely related.

I cannot believe people are so hung up on a funny comparison.

I would say get a hobby but I made and have been on this thread all day so

No, it's a bad simile.

Please find something more significant to pick an argument about, holy fuck

What if I wanted just the bark from a dogwood.😁😁

That's a bit dramatic lol, they are fairly closely related to the trees that produce edible cherries.
glopmod OP t1_jcyzcdp wrote
They aren't fairly close flavors at all?
One is a fruit.
The other is the flower from a fruitless tree.
FairfaxGirl t1_jcz19rn wrote
Or the flower of a fruit tree. Cherry producing cherry trees also have blossoms. That’s how fruit works.

Cherry blossom trees have fruit. Humans just don't eat it.

Neither do Grape Nuts!

I forgot about those things. They don't taste like nut either

They're supposed to taste like purple and they do. What is "grape"?
messmaker523 t1_jcynt4b wrote
Grape is the soft tissue around a dog butt
Tahh t1_jcyz1yw wrote
Which, as everyone knows, tastes like Skittles
messmaker523 t1_jczusnv wrote
Is that why dogs always lick their butts and smell other dog butts?
