Tropical strawberry?

Things that are supposed to be “Tropical Flavored” should not have strawberry in it.
It’s just not tropical. I think they’re just being cheap. “We’ve got a ton of strawberry flavoring, what should we do with it?” “Pour it in, no one will care!”
Mango, banana, even oranges I could take as tropical.
But not strawberry.
I should point out I only posted this at Nate’s request. There are only 3 (maybe 4) people who would know why he and I think it’s funny.
But, that’s pretty good compared to most of the jokes I post here.
As I said to him the other day, “Things might go better if I could keep my mouth shut and not make stupid jokes. But, I just can’t." So there it is. He and I can laugh. Holly will frown. No one else will have a clue.

I agree, strawberry is overused as a flavor...Isn't it because it's such an easy flavor to create?
maybe it's because of the word - straw...maybe there's a visual the marketers are going for, for festive straw sunhats you wear in a tropical setting...And berry, well berry sounds tasty. Yeah it's a stretch. But covering for marketers is hard to do ya know.

Ha! That will teach you! No strawberry for you!
