Ketchup
 
Tomatoes are a fruit and not a vegetable because they have seeds.
Therefore, shouldn’t Ketchup be called a Smoothie and not a Condiment?

In the United States, Ketchup is a vegetable, per the Supreme Court:

Nix v. Hedden, 149 U.S. 304 (1893) the Supreme Court opined that:

"under U.S. customs regulations, the tomato should be classified as a vegetable rather than a fruit. The Court’s unanimous opinion held that the Tariff Act of 1883 used the ordinary meaning of the words “fruit” and “vegetable,” instead of the technical botanical meaning."

In the dumpster fire known as the EU, the Brussels Mafia reclassified the carrot as a fruit so Portugal could export carrot jelly.

Ketchup should be classified as a lubricant for french fries.

No! A smoothie is something blended with yogurt. Fruit, vegetables, liver.
A condoment is something that you put on your weener for protection.

I love the way your mind works, but you definitely have too much time on your hands.

knowledge vs. intelligence
 
knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit
intelligence is not putting them in a fruit salad
