I ate this citrus fruit called a Ugli once.
Fitting name, as it was an orangish-yellowish-greenish color and rather lumpy.
And the juice we got out of it looked like really dirty water. (It was a citrus fruit)
BUT IT WAS REALLY TASTY. :9 The perfect mixture of sweet and tart in a citrus juice. :D

Nipple fruit is, by far, the worst I've heard to date. :o

Tangelos bother me...it sounds like someone mashed a tangerine with a cello...and that's just not appetizing. I think someone could've been a little more creative with that one...

I have nothing against either Europian Passionfruit or Australian Passionfruit. However Australian Passionfruit does look very weird.

Take a balloon that looks exactly like a mango, let it float around a week or two until it is 3/4 deflated and you have an idea of what it looks like.

WTF?
It always makes me think of vomit, or something along the lines.

I agree, however, about nipple fruit.
x.x
As soon as I read the title of this thread that's the first fruit to come to my mind :S Then I see you posted it XD ... SO Artichoke would have to be the second fruit that I say

I have alway's wondered why people call dragon fruit, dragon fruit?

When I was little I used to think that the people who get the dragon fruit would have to kill a dragon to get the fruit in order to sell it.

I had a wild Imagination.

There's something strange about banana's.

litchi fruit and blood oranges.

Litchi just tastes really really bitter. And blood oranges are red inside, and they taste so good *drool*

Passion fruit is also a very weird name.

Kumquat!!!! The tiny little citrus fruit where you can eat the rind and its wonderful! There was this other exotic fruit thing that was supposed to be like a yam, but I can't remember the name.

Kumquat, that is an odd name, isn't it? They're wonderful!

Oh, stop being such a kumquat

I don't think so, I don't remember what letter it started with, but its one of those that when you see the name, you know.

xD Mom! Johny is calling me a kumquat again. Make him stop! xD

-starts to cry- I just found out recently that I'm allergic to kiwis! Its a small allergic reaction, but it is still one none the less...first my throat and ears get all itchy. Then, my eyes start to itch as well. The first time my eyes started to itch, it was the night of a theatrical performance I was in, and I thought I had spontaneously gotten pink eye. It's not fair. I tried another thing of kiwi to test out my theory, when I was cooking something with kiwis for Spanish class, and the same thing happened. I couldn't eat what I had cooked, and it smelled so good!

They were originally named Chinesse Gooseberries. The National Tourism Board for New Zealand changed their name to boost torism.
