While cherries are closer in size and appearance to berries, they are in fact classified as a fruit. A berry is a small, fleshy fruit produced by a single ovary. They do not contain a stone or a pit, but dozens of seeds can be found embedded into the skin.
In addition, to be a berry, a fruit must have two or more seeds. … Rather, cherries, like other fleshy fruit with thin skin and a central stone that contains a seed, are called drupes. Moreover, to be a berry, fruits must develop from one flower that has one ovary.

I’d prefer the fruit covered with sugar and rum, a few months by now.

At least he was smart enough to not add tomatoes. They are berries too, believe it or not.

Fruit suit. Wear your sundae vest.
Of course Brewter would come up with a vest pun. In a battle of wits, he’s unarmed.
