it has seeds so its a fruit.

It is only classified as a vegetable by the government to protect the farmers or something along those lines because of taxes or something.

If this was a few years ago, I would have said Veggie, but I remember reading that it's actually a fruit or something.. (something makes it a fruit, not sure what)

Wait, cucumbers have seeds, are they fruit, too?

Yes, it grows on a vine as well... same as watermelon, grapes, and squash.

:confused: that's weird. I thought fruit was supposed to be stuff you can eat raw that tastes good. You can't eat squash raw and tomatoes don't taste like fruit, they taste like nastiness.
