if you were a type of fruit what would you be and why

[MR.PIXIE]

me, i would be a grapefruit.
because am a little bitter but also sweet:smallbiggrin:

[valadil]

A friend of mine got asked this question by no less than 5 interviewers the last time he was job hunting. Each one said "sorry, we already have enough NAME_OF_FRUITs here. You should leave."

[Starscream]

Each one said "sorry, we already have enough NAME_OF_FRUITs here. You should leave."

That's why you need to pick something exotic and weird. The interviewers will probably have never heard of it, so you can ascribe what ever traits you want.

Incidentally, I'm feel that I am perfect for writing this post because if I were a fruit I would be a Rambutan. As I'm sure you are well aware, Rambutans are known for their excellent post writing qualities.

[MR.PIXIE]

ill keep that in mind next time i jo gob hunting

[THAC0]

Pomegranate! I'm very complicated and difficult to get into, and you either like me or hate me.

[The Vorpal Tribble]

My simple response: A snozzberry.

"What's a snozzberry?"

"Whatever I want it to be."

Do I get the job? Heck yeah.

[taltamir]

is this for a job interview?
wow... I really have no idea how to answer such a question if asked in a job interview... I mean... I am not a fruit at all.

[potatocubed]

Coconut. Difficult to get into but usually worth the effort. Plus not actually a fruit.

[golentan]

I'd be a lemon: I'm tough on the outside and sour on the inside, but I go with anything and can really help complement the rest of any group of fruits. Plus I can stand on my own if I try to be sweet and light, but it takes a lot of work.

[Tavar]

Dragon Fruit. Come on, I'm a freaking dragon. What more could you want?

In all seriousness, I'd probably go with Coconut or lemon as well. Of course, I also might just laugh. I mean, really? I've never much seen the point of these kind of questions.

[arguskos]

Huh. Were I a fruit, what fruit would I be, you ask? Imma go with cherry. Tasty, good with ice cream (:smallwink:), goes with everything, but can occasionally be sour.

[Thatguyoverther]

I think i'd be an orange. Thick skin and full of pulp. Also I generally smell nice.

[Mystic Muse]

I think I'd wonder why the interviewer was asking this question.

that said I'm a superdoofuncle berry. (if this is an actual fruit I take that back)

[Eldan]

Passion Fruit! Because I'm so Passionate!

Okay, I can't say that with a straight face. :smalltongue:

Hmmm. I have no idea, actually.

[Trobby]

Well I would try not to be too overt about it. I don't feel like I should force my lifestyle on anyone. But I wouldn't try to hide who I am, especially from my family and-

...Oh.

Oh, THAT type of fruit? Um...apple. Simple yet versatile.

[Pika...]

White chocolate.


...What? As far as I am concerned chocolate is a fruit, vegetable, one of the five elements, and anything else I want it to be.

[KuReshtin]

I'd be a Kumquat, mainly cause it's got a funny name.

[Player_Zero]

Yomi Yomi no Mi.

Yo hohohoho.

[Neko Toast]

I want to say that I'm a pear. I'm a bit easy to bruise, and I have a few seeds to get around, but altogether I'm fairly enjoyable.

[Lioness]

I'm a seedless watermelon. I'm sweet on the inside, have a tough outer skin. But if you drop me from a great height, I will smash to pieces. And you don't have to spit out the bad evil seeds, because there aren't any.

[arguskos]

I'm amazed we've made it this far without any banana jokes. :smallamused:

[SDF]

Well being a banana just peels right.

I'd be a fruit bat. I help distribute seeds and pollinate other species to strengthen the environment I live in! :smallbiggrin:

[Pika...]

I'm amazed we've made it this far without any banana jokes. :smallamused:

You don't know how hard it was to resist. :smallbiggrin:

That, and think of a clean one...

[Player_Zero]

I'm amazed we've made it this far without any banana jokes. :smallamused:

Oh, right. I'd be a banana, because penis.

I think that sorts that one out.

[arguskos]

Oh, right. I'd be a banana, because penis.

I think that sorts that one out.
Bravo sirrah, your wit is truly without peer. That hurt to write.

[Thatguyoverther]

I'm amazed we've made it this far without any banana jokes. :smallamused:

What? You don't find banana jokes a-peeling?:smallwink:



Oh, god what have I done?!

[Mauve Shirt]

An orange, because I rhyme with nothing.


I'm amazed we've made it this far without any banana jokes. :smallamused:
I don't feel like finding the relevant Roland quote about discussing bananas publicly.

[Vella_Malachite]

Banana puns aside, I'd probably be...a pineapple. I act prickly on the outside, but the inside's soft-ish and sweet. Also, it has a hard, strong, durably woody centre to hold it together.

Darn it, now I'm hungry for pineapple! :smallannoyed:

[Trobby]

Yomi Yomi no Mi.

Yo hohohoho.

Which reminds me. I'd be a Devil Fruit. Probably one that gives you the power of um...the internet? o.o

YOU TOOK MINE.:annoyed::wink:

I'll go with pumpkin, then. The last one that anyone suspects of being a fruit.

[Inhuman Bot]

I'm amazed we've made it this far without any banana jokes. :smallamused:

Dude, we're not allowed to talk about Bannnas here. Good work. :smallannoyed:

EDIT: I read every post up to yours. :smallfrown:

[Misery Esquire]

Myself, I would be an onion, far more likely to make you cry than smile without being cooked, and even then, I must be served as a spice, except for those of odd tastes. ...You mean to say that an onion is not a fruit? Well.

I suppose a replacement would be the apple, a colourful skin, a hard core, and have the seeds of poison within. 'tis good to be me, certainly.

[Jack Squat]

I'd be a miracle fruit - because I'm just that awesome :smallcool:

[Anuan]

Probably a pear. Cause you have to catch me at exactly the right moment or I'm inedible unpleasant. Either tough and impossible to get through pleasantly, or bitter and gross.

[Trog]

I am the fruit of Laurelin for I shall light the lives of those who dwell in my own far green country until the day shall come when I shall be the last and will then light the world, last spawn of Culúrien.

[Lioness]

Pears are a strange sort of fruit. They're a love 'em or hate 'em sort of thing.

[Darius Midnite]

I would probably be a Macrozamia fruit. Beautiful, yet vile and poisonous. :smalltongue:

[MR.PIXIE]

hows about a "melons" joke:smallamused:

[Moff Chumley]

I want to say that I'm a pear. I'm a bit easy to bruise, and I have a few seeds to get around, but altogether I'm fairly enjoyable.

Oh really? *scribbles in notebook*
Do tell more.

Oh, you thought it was over, did you? MWAHAHAHAHA!

[Tyndmyr]

A friend of mine got asked this question by no less than 5 interviewers the last time he was job hunting. Each one said "sorry, we already have enough NAME_OF_FRUITs here. You should leave."

Seriously? I'd look at them blankly and say something random and amusing. Well, amusing to me, at least. Mentally, I'd be considering the next interview on the list.

Avoid companies that interview you based on non-job related random questions like this. At best, this sort of question should be something light hearted and not at all serious. Look for a place that'll be up-front about their requirements. It'll make your job much more pleasant.

[MR.PIXIE]

banana:smallbiggrin:

[Piggyebil]

I'd be a pineapple. A little sour but a rare treat nonetheless.

[KilltheToy]

I'd be a Clementine, because I consume them at a rate that must be seen to be believed. They're one of my anti-drugs.

[celticbushido]

Kiwi. Cause they're small furry and ugly, but delicious. The first time I ever saw a kiwi, I thought it would be awful, but I tried it, and loved it. One of the biggest lessons in life is to never judge a book by the cover, on in this case the fruit by the furry skin.

[Perenelle]

probably a Kiwi. kind of cute and innocent on the outside, but unique and interesting on the inside with a bit of a tangy-zing to it. :smalltongue:

[Orzel]

Orange. Their aren't words to describe my love for them. Plus my head is squisy like one.

[Krade]

Buddha Hand:smallcool:

[Lioness]

It's a Cthulhu fruit
