What's the sin of blueberries? Now, you might think "It's obviously gluttony because they're food" but that's your first mistake. See, I think the sin of blueberries is pride. Now, you might be asking me, "Lerasi, what would blueberries pride themselves on" and to that I say, 'that they are real berries.' You see, strawberries, one of, if not the most popular fruit with the word "berry" in its name, is actually not a berry. Berries come from flowers with a single ovary, but strawberries come from flowers that contain more than one ovary. Thus, they are aggregate fruits and not berries. Blueberries, then, the second best berry to the majority of the population, are actually the best real berry. Ergo, their sin is pride, they are prideful in their confirmed berry status. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
