What the average person thinks is most delicious fruit?

Notice that strawberry is number one and mango is ranked number 14 and mangosteen is ranked number 40. Ofcourse most of the people participating probably have never eaten the latter 2 of these fruits, is my guess.

Interesting but clearly not representative for people who have tasted more fruits than what you can cheaply and easily pick up in the supermarkets? Horned melon is no. 31 - says it all...  ;D

without doubt the most moronic poll I have ever seen. lychees in last place, 18 places behind horned melon. Just goes to show how incredibly stupid your average"man on the street" is

Lemon at 18th & Lime at 26th?  Both of which are WAY ahead of Cherimoya, Mangosteen & Rambutans ... relatively unknown fruits to the mass.  I don't complain, more fruits for me  ;D

No. 1 for me is Cherimoya from my garden. Unbeatable!

The average person in the US eats DelMonte canned fruit and an occasional apple or banana. Most people would not even know what to say. Now ask them which is their favorite hamburger and then you have something to talk about !
