The other side of this coin is that the banana is the largest herb; the banana tree is the tallest plant that doesn’t produce wood
Of course mixing up culinary and botany meanings deliberately is dumb and leads to people saying things like “a tomato is a fruit” and “a strawberry isn’t a berry” those people can go produce their own wood if you know what I mean
congrats on being the millionth person in this thread including the original artist to not know that words can have one meaning in a scientific context and another different meaning in a culinary context

A strawberry isn’t a berry. It’s just small and has it in the name. It doesn’t even look like a berry.
Also a banana isn’t an herb. Just the banana tree is. The banana is a berry.

…bananas are not herbs, dude. You don’t dry a banana and mix it into other food. It’s a fruit. You pick it, and eat it.
You’ve never had dehydrated bananas?
I’ve put them in oatmeal before.
