It's pronounced "tomato", not "tomato"

Boil 'em, mash 'em, put 'em in a simple syrup with preservatives and spices and then call 'em a vegetable.

Yeah the inventor of tomatoes even said it’s “tomato” a few years back iirc.

If anyone knows how it should be pronounced it would be Mr. Ato himself

No, you're thinking of the other Mr. Ato, inventer of the potato

[–] bottleofchips@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

Its nice that the meme outlived the series.

[–] lemmy_get_my_coat@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Did I miss something? Wikipedia says season 5 and 6 have been announced.

[–] FreeBeard@slrpnk.net -2 points 2 weeks ago

I mean more like "died in our collective consciousness". The series got way worse after the first season so nobody talks about it anymore.
