Top five filler fruits in fruit salads:
1. Honeydew melon: Honeydew has no flavor unless slime is a flavor and I only think people put it in fruit salad because it's a different color than the other fruits.
2. Cantaloupe: This is the orange version of Honeydew.
3. Pears: Pears are like apples except worse in every possible way.
4. Apples: Chopped up apples in a fruit salad are such an afterthought. Plus, they're harder than the other fruits and they get brown and nasty looking.
5. Grapes: Totally annoying unless you cut them in half. On the other hand, if you cut them in half you're spending way too much time making a fricking fruit salad.
The ideal fruit salad is watermelon, pineapple, any and every kind of berry, and maybe some orange or peach if you're in a crazy mood.
Point of debate: bananas?

I actually prefer red apples to green ones.

I thought this blog was going to be an insightful look into one of the greatest soon-to-be bands ever created.
A fruit salad post? Really? See this is why your bar is the Gay Bar. Plus you are way off base here.
1. Honeydew- you got me there. Not really any taste.
2. Cantaloupe - This is where you lose me. Cantaloupe has a taste. I'm not sure what you have been eating but my guess is it isn't Cantaloupe.
3. Pear- What has a pear ever done to you? Those bad boys are tasty.
4. Apple - So apples are bad because they are hard? Do you have the weakest teeth on the planet? Still got those baby teeth? And how long do you let your salad sit out? I mean it takes a little bit of time for the apples to turn brown.
5. Grapes - I need a better understanding of why grapes are so annoying so I can then shoot down your opinion.
And then you praise Watermelon? Why don't you just drink a glass of water and skip the watermelon. Plus you bash fruit that doesn't taste, and then praise watermelon?
I love Pineapple!
Bananas are great but don't work in a fruit salad, they are too fragile.
Even soon-to-be rock bands have to eat. And believe it or not, this is actually an ongoing debate between Leslie and me.
The question is which fruits are "filler," as in when you're making the fruit salad you get the main-event fruit (berries, pineapple, watermelon) and then you need to put in some other stuff to stretch it out. Honeydew and cantaloupe are those two melons that are cheap (and bland and slimy) that you can toss into your fruit salad to make it bigger. Whenever you're tossing apples and grapes into a fruit salad, it seems like you actually ran out of fruit for the fruit salad so you raided your fruit bowl and just started chopping. I mean, take some pride in your fruit salad, Brian.
Also, I've never made a fruit salad in my life.
