I think it's an objective truth that figs are just terrible. I mean, what other fruits do we eat that depend on a wasp infestation in order to simply exist? "None" is the only correct answer, and it should be further clarified to "None, including the abomination that is the fig." Cucumbers are a much better fruit than figs, and many people don't even give the humble cuke the credit of being a fruit to begin with. Now, even bringing up the noble cucumber is inviting someone else to make false assertions about the excellence of pickles, for which they should be first challenged, and then flagellated severely. But that certainly seems to exceed the scope of the topic at hand, so we can save that for a different chat. For now, suffice to say that figs are simply bad, and really, one has to wonder what ever possessed someone to eat one in the first place. There had to have been other choices for nourishment. Yet someone decided, despite having alternative options, to not only have the first fig, but to recommend it to others around them. I'm not convinced that the first person to eat the fig didn't lose a bet, and then set out to convince others to join him in his poor decision making so as to feel less like a fool.
