                            A banana is a fruit and it is not sweet.

                    I think tomato is a night vegetable, but it looks like a fruit too. So, maybe it is both.

                            I never thought about it being both.

                    They say it is a fruit but it sure seems like a vegetable to me.

                            A lot of  people has the same problem with deciding on which one it is.

                    In biological term, tomato is a fruit. Because fruit is a  product of a tree or other plant that contains seed and can be eaten as food. 
But in cultural term, it's vegetable. Because vegetable can be any part of plant; fruit, leaf, stem, root, even seed. 
So, imo, tomato is a fruit that we eat as vegetable (people even eat it raw as other fruit too!)

                            No matter which one it is; I still like to eat tomatoes.

                    It depends on how you see it. It is the fruit of a plant in the same way that  beans and peas are. And what are veggies? Culturally, it depends on how we eat them , not what we eat of them (leaves in lettuce and basil and flowers in artichokes). Are roots of plants veggies?
I eat tomatoes in salads ( veggies) or make sauces with them (veggies again). I call fruit what I eat for desert.

                    Scientific it’s a fruit. It grows on a vine stock and has seeds on the inside. It’s a fruit!
