Why is Tomato "oddly-named"? How is it any different to Apple?Oh wait... maybe it's okay to name a company after a fruit, but not okay to name it after a vegetable.
Actually, contrary to popular belief, the tomato is in fact a fruit, due to it being a seeding and flowering plant. Society shuns it as a vegetable cos it doesn't fit in with its sweeter tasting breatheren.
