This morning I stopped into one of my favorite coffee shops and ordered a lychee berry iced tea. "You're getting the last of it," the owner informed me. "The last of it?" I asked. He said that his tea supplier had discontinued the tea and he wouldn't be getting it anymore. "But I'm sure I'll get some other fruity tea in here."

"That almost sounds derogatory," I say. "Some other fruity tea."

The owner waggles his head from side to side in a snarky Dennis Miller way and goes with it: "Yeah, those fruity frou frou teas. Ay! C'mon!"

Other things that sound slightly derogatory when paired with the word fruity?

- Fruity cream fillings
- Fruity jam and jelly spreads
- Fruity muffin choices
- Fruity pebbles
