LMAO! This reminds me of a dude in Tulsa near Woodward park, he grew weed in his front yard while not legal. He tied plastic roses in it, a LEO drove by every day looking at the beautiful roses that his wife luved. One fine day he got up the nerve to pull in and ask what kind of rose this is and maybe get a cutting. While he knocked on the door his partner gave the plant a good look over,, yep you can guess the rest, I think he's out now.
Another tried clipping the ends from every leaflet, said it made it look like a pepper plant. Not to me!
IIRC I seen the tomato thing in a dino movie many moons ago, in the film MJ made a fruit.
