Why have Asda got tinned tomatos in the vegetable aisle?

Americans are stupid.


All of them?

Fruits hang on things, vegetables are in or on the ground. And if you
care to look up a proper website in the UK, not some backwards way
first country, you'll find there is also a technical botanical reason
a tomato is a fruit, to do with containing seeds. Same goes for beans.


Cucumbers and marrows contain seeds.
Asda is American owned. You asked why and I told you.

Where do you expect to find strawberries?


I'm pretty sure I heard that one store was going to start putting stuff
alongside complementary (is that the word?) stuff. So strawberries would
be immediately next to the cream.


The only thing you can be sure of is it won't be in the same place the next time. Half the time even the staff can't remember where it's been put. I wonder how much staff time-money they spend moving things up and down the store?
