Wait, Ketchup is made from tomatos though, and they are berries. They aren't a vegtable at all. The only thing unique about katchup icecreme is that its the flavor of a condiment.

Wrong. Tomatoes are vegetables. Science says that tomatoes can be berries and fruits: botanically speaking, fruits are anything that is the seed or bears the seed of a plant. Now, of course this definition has a drawback. If this was true, it would also mean that cucumbers, bean pods, squash, melons, peppers, and even nuts, would also be fruits.

Culinary artists (and even the grocery store) have to say that they are vegetables (which aren't naturally sweet), and I'm more inclined to believe them because they're the ones that feed the scientists.

A tomato is a vegetable for three reasons:
1) The plant is a non-woody annual.
2) It is consumed with the main meal and not individually.
3) It was classified as a vegetable in 1893 by the US Supreme court.

Yes, the tomato is legally a vegetable.
