Am I missing the joke? Tomatoes are fruits.

Well, that depends on definition. But the joke is why on earth would you want to write types on your shopping list? Like this:

  • tomatos (vegetable)
  • apples (fruit)

Etc.

Well, I can't think of an English example from the top of my head, but in German the words for Pear and (light) bulb are the same. So there are some exotic use cases.
