TOMATOES: Fruit or Vegetable?

So, the US Supreme Court decided that tomatoes were in fact a vegetable (because they have nothing better to do, right?), though technically it should be classified as a fruit...

My roommate says it's a vegetable because it's not sweet and all fruit is either sweet or sour but I argue with her saying it's a fruit (though I still think it's a vegetable) because it's got seeds and grows like a berry would.

What do you think?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Link.

It had something to do with taxing it as a fruit or a vegetable, or something.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
