Pineapples are better than watermelons, that much is clear to anybody with half a brain, but what of coconuts? Melons? Papaya? Those star shaped ones you see in expensive drinks sometimes?

Enter your submissions here (with reasoning) and I will consider your proposal.

Current ranking
>pineapple (for its amusing shape and powerful leaves)
>watermelon (bit too liquidy inside, but nice colours)

Pineapple is nicer than watermelon but you can't eat any where near as much, so melon wins that one because I'm a greedy cunt.

Papaya is fucking horrible on its own but nice in yoghurt and Bounty bars exist so the winner is coconut.

Mango.

Mango is nicer than pineapple, and less fibrous so you can eat more.

Disagree, pineapple is best

Good point on coconut re: bounty bars, but don't think that should count. I like their armoured exterior and delicious liquid centre though, so that will count in their favour. Never had a papaya but I will take your word for it that they are shit.

Doesn't watermelon absorb nasty stuff from the atmosphere so in certain countries it can end up poisoning you?

If so then I vote AGAINST watermelon

Excuse me can we stop posting in this thread until we have determined the overall best object please. Once that it discovered the best tropical fruit will be immaterial.

Anyway the best tropical fruit is the banana, they are funny, tasty, portable and have a sassy attitude.

Though watermelons remain better as overall objects.

Watermelon already in the bottom 2, though your preference has been noted in case of a tie breaker situation.

Not interested in objects, only their innate properties as fruit.

Bananas a good suggestion. I like them more than coconuts, and they are a funny shape so that's worth mentioning. They've jumped in at #3

The answer is dragonfruit. Looks like a cool alien pod egg and tastes like soft gorgeous sorbet.

Dex Sawash

Coconut is mostly inedible without a lot of processing and augmentation.
Watermelon not exclusive to tropics


Ferris

Ok I'm out shopping rn but will rate all of these suggestions when I get home.

The Durian fruit supposedly smells like rotting festering shit so might be worth exploring where you want to rate that

If you're going to include a fucking COCONUT in your list of top tropical fruit then you might as well include cashew fucking nuts.

It's absolutely fucking disgusting, smells like somebody farting through a shit.

And absolutely fucking everywhere in Thailand, they even have durian ice cream. The dirty bastards.

passion fruit

Never had one, are they nice? They have a good name which might be enough to crack the top 5
