Internet users fight over dragon fruit’s taste
“Dragon Fruit Taste” is the new topic of conversation and debate among internet users, with many wondering why it tastes like nothing. It all started when user Aishafierce4 shared a clip on X of an individual eating a dragon fruit. The person in the video said, “Wow. I love the taste of nothing. I love the taste of absolutely nothing. My favorite flavor, nothing.”
Aishafierce4 cheekily shared the clip on their timeline. They captioned it, “Swifties ever since that album came out,” throwing shade at the mixed reception Taylor Swift’s twelfth studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” has been getting.
The post caught the attention of Stefan Bertin. They commented, “Off topic, but it really is crazy that a fruit so colorful really does taste of nothing. Like, you’re doing all of that, and for what.” This shifted the focus of the conversation to dragon fruit.
The post sparked a wave of conversation, discussion, and heated debates among internet users. While some argued that the dragon fruit tastes bland and tasteless, others reasoned that it boasts several health benefits.
One user commented, “I thought it would taste like a gorgeous mixed berry explosion. I was beyond disappointed.”
Another echoed their sentiments and wrote, “It’s the biggest culinary disappointment of my life. What is the purpose of so much beauty? Why is it even cultivated? Who is eating that nothing fruit?”
A user also drew parallels between dragon fruit and pretty people. “This fruit is the equivalent of pretty people. Looks amazing, tastes like nothing,” accompanied by a beautiful drawing of a dragon fruit.
However, defenders of the tropical fruit jumped to its rescue, revealing that dragon fruit tastes sweet and tasty in Asian countries. One user commented, “Either Americans are getting bland dragon fruits, or your tongues have been numbed by too much added sugar in everything to be able to taste the sweetness of that fruit.”
Several have confirmed that the tropical fruit tastes sweet and delicious in their countries, and are rather confused by the claims made by users who find the fruit bland. One user shared, “Im confused because philippino dragon fruits taste good.” Another user echoed their sentiments and penned, “Are fruits just automatically be tasteless in the west cuz dragonfruits taste fine in south east asia though.”
