every fruit has and -e- in it
except banana
except banana
Also, every fruit has multiple seeds except a cherry.
u can distinguish to their shapes also if u can imagine .... they may have circular, rectangular, cubical etc....
apples can be peeled
I assumed, as many probably did, that it would be banana FOR the way it was SPELLED. What really threw me off was the Hint. I guess I let my mind wander to far astray imagining how I eat each fruit: apples, bananas, and pears I tend to eat alone. Grapes and cherries I tend to eat with one of my many beautiful and seductive girlfriends. =)~
Cherry is the only word without the letter "a" in it. Wouldn't it fit the answer as well?
cherry is also the only one with just one vowel...
Apple is also the only one that starts with a vowel, it needs to be specified that it has nothing to do with spelling.
A bit on the easy side as the hint gave it away. For those of you who found diferent solutions, it's true that there is more than one. But, due to the hint only the given one is the right one. Keep them coming!
i thot it was bc a banana isn't grown from seeds, but from a part of the plant!
I peel all of them before eating!
this one has many answers with many reasons,the most common one I would say is banana but it has many reasons. Anyone who reads this comment please think about that.
I said banana but because there are seeds in all the other fruits. Banana was the obvious choice and there are many reasons. I liked it though
I thought banana because the others could have seeds in them. You would have to be carful how you eat them!
very clever.
I thought grape because it's the only one grown on a vine. Everything else is grown on a tree.
rrb21: They ALL have seeds in them. Honestly,don't you eat???

Sorry for repeat. I have a mutant computer.
While they do all have seeds in them, you only EAT the banana seeds. That's another reason banana could be the right answer, even with the clue. You have to avoid the seeds when eating all the other fruits.
I had a frustration with a very similar question on an IQ test I took a few years ago, since there were many possible, equally valid answers.
Good teaser, though.

While they all have seeds, only the cherry has a pitt....a variance of a seed....
There are far too many answers to this question....I don't like it.

THAT WAS GREAT!! i had to look at the hint before i got it, at first i thought it was the cherry, cuz it has a pitt, but, then the hint said 'think of the way you eat it' and i got it right!!
ill eat YOUR BANANA
1-You eat banana seeds without thinking, but not the seeds/pits in the other fruits.
2-Grapes grow one vines, not trees.
Those were my first 2 thoughts, sad that I didn't think of the peel!

Loved it, a bit too easy though, BUT still loved it
The HINT gave it all away
not true my grandma peels apples b4 eating luved it neways
Well, I think i would've got it if I read the hint because i was leaning more towards all of them grow on trees except the grapes. LOL!!! But Great Teaser anyway!!!
U need 2 add a little bit more info. Still, it wuz pretty good.
I thought it was Grape. Those grow on vines, but the others grow on TREES!
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ wanna know how 2 do dis hearts code email me at [email protected] wit a zero ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Pear is the only one starting with a letter in the second half of the English alphabet
My supersmart fiancee also pointed out to me that the banana is the only one that is a Herb!
I thought it was grape also because of vine and tree. great minds think alike!
Makes me hungry! Good teaser.
I said grape because all grow on trees except for grapes. Could have multiple answers.
I'm with the vine vs tree crowd.
Also I eat apple cores and grape seeds, and I knew someone once who ate bananas whole.
Finally, anyone who peels an apple before eating doesn't understand food and nutrition.

i peel grapes and apples
i thought it was cherry
i thought it was cherry
i was thinking that it was because the bananas are long, and all the other fruits are circles....hey, i still got it right!
WHAT! Who peels bananas?
I agree with some of the above statements, grapes were a poor example because they dont grow on a tree but a vine. the peeling thing is optional for pears and apples. better luck next time.
or cuz of seeds
grape is the only one that does not grow on a tree
i figured it was a banana. think of how (most) people eat them!
I'm pretty sure it's the vine thing. You peel apples to put in pies. Canned pears are peeled.
Banana is the only one that doesn't have seeds on the inside. This is actually the definition of a fruit and is why tomatoes are really fruits ( because they have seeds on the inside).
I thought it was a pear (before looking at the hint) because the rest are all flavors of lip gloss/candy/popsicles/whatever else, but I've never heard of something pear-flavored. But I got it with the hint. Too many answers.
Oh, and bananas do have seeds. They're just really small in the kind we eat, not useful for reproduction. Wild bananas have much larger ones.
