I HAVE A HUGE FEAR OF TOMATOES. I AM 19 YEARS OLD AND IN HIGH SCHOOL I WAS IN A COOKING CLASS AND EVERYONE MADE FUN OF ME FOR IT. MY TEACHER KNEW MY FOBIA AND MADE ME SMASH TOMATOES IN MY HANDS. I WORE GLOVES BUT WAS ALMOST IN TEARS DOING IT. IM SO GLAD IM NO THE ONLY OTHER PERSON OUT THERE WITH THIS VERRY TRUE PHOBIA AND I HOPE THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THIS IS A REAL THING AND WE TOMATO HATERS SHOULD NOT BE MADE FUN OF BECAUSE OF IT. GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND MAY WE ONE DAY OUTLAW TOMATOES!!!

I'm not sure if I belong on this site because while whole tomatoes (or their bastard relatives, stewed tomatoes) creep me out horribly, I actually enjoy salsa and marinara. Anyway, given my disgust of whole tomatoes, get this: I was riding my bike home last night and I ran over on of those suckers in the road. I must have it it just right (or just wrong) because the damn thing exploded and its slimy, disgusting seeds shot up my bare leg and into my toes (I was wearing sandals). How disgusting is that? I need counseling, I think.

I like tomatoes. I eat them raw, fried, as pasta sauce, and many other ways. I don't think I've gone a day in my life without eating a tomato. I love the taste, I love the texture, I even love the look of tomatoes. I love that bright, beautiful red colour. They're the colour of love, and the colour of life. They're also the colour of Satan. I don't see how so many people could so despise the earth's most glorious and versatile fruit.

Hail Satan.

Tomatoes taste like an aadvark's vomit. My sister gave me what she told me was a grape...it was a cherry tomato. My taste buds are still recovering.

A tomato killed my chinchilla.

Tomatoes are the reason for global warming. It's science.

owowowowo there ickyy!!! once a student of mine put a tomato in my chair and i sat down on it and ever since then ive had a phobia of tomatoes which is unfortunate for me because i am a tomato farmer.. another reason i hate tomatoes is that at the farm we use human suwage to fertilize the tomatoes

I was forced to eat them by a vindictive Nun at school. I puked on her shoes and got slapped silly.

Oh my girlfriends favourite food is Italian! you ever try ordering italian food without tomatoes...not much left to choose

I have a fear of tomatos. When i was younger my babysitter use to force me to eat tomatos. If i didnt eat them i had to sit in time out for hours. I hate tomatos now. I cant touch them or eat them. Just the sight of them makes me ill. I have to have my little brother pick them off anything if they are mistakenly on there. Its very weird but i cant help it. I am italian so tomatos are a big part of our meals. But i try my hardest to avoid them.

Everyone thinks i am crazy when i say i am scared of tomatoes. Most people at my school like them and my whole family likes them too!

I honesty think that tomatoes are the most disgusting things in the world.

My father forced us to eat one when i was 6ish and i brought it strait back up... yes i rathered the flogging than the tomatoe. Now i can't eat anything that's had one on it or i can't cut the yucky things and i wont cut one or touch the seeds and that foul juice... and yet... i like tomatoe sauce and i'm actually enjoying tomatoe soup now.... but put me near a whole one or one with seeds in it and im gone. I'm so very happy i thought i'd look this up and found you's.... you'r not alone. DOWN with TOMATOES

I see that Greggs the bakers are now hiding the tomato slices under the tuna on their baguettes.
Just bought one and had to throw the whole thing away after finding the tomato jizz had soaked into the bread. Not a happy bunny.

I work on a tomato hydroponic farm and tomatos are fruit. Fruit is a part of a plant. Tomatoes are part of the Nightshade (Solanace)Family so its understandable that they were once thought to be posioness. All Solanace fruit are berries. Yes tomatoes are berries like eggplant, capsicum and peppers.
