But I'm not alone in my strawberry obsession. Apparently, strawberries have been a favorite fruit for centuries, with the ancient Romans being particularly fond of them. They even used to feed strawberries to their horses to make them stronger and more energetic (who knew strawberries were the original sports drink?).
Fast forward to the present day, and it's clear that strawberries are still a beloved snack around the world. In fact, did you know that the average American eats around 3.5 pounds of strawberries per year? That's a lot of strawberries, if I do say so myself. And let's not forget about the strawberry-farming industry, which is worth a whopping billion dollars annually.
Now, I know what you're thinking: what's the harm in eating too many strawberries? Well, for one thing, they're super high in sugar (like, seriously high). And if you eat too many, you might start to experience some, ahem, interesting side effects, like strawberry-stained teeth and tongue (not cute) or even a strawberry-induced allergy (yes, that's a thing).
