Tomato riddle

[debodun]

Why were the canned tomatoes so sad?

 

[Aunt Marg]

Because they had no place to go?

 

[debodun]

Keep at it.

 

[Aunt Marg]

Because the pasta was calling out to them to come and play?

 

[Aunt Marg]

Because they were missing their best friend, Olive Oil?

 

[debodun]

Not even close.

 

[Aunt Marg]

Because they were missing their vines?

 

[Aunt Marg]

Because they were "stewing" over being all cooped-up?

 

[Aunt Marg]

Because they were in a "dicey" situation?

 

[Aunt Marg]

Because it was like a "Hot House" in the can?

 

[debodun]

Because they were in a "dicey" situation?

Getting warm.

 

[PamfromTx]

They were sad because they were peeled and diced up?

 

[MarciKS]

Because they were about to be crushed?

 

[debodun]

MarciKS is HOT!

 

[MarciKS]

Because they didn't wanna play ketchup.

 

[debodun]

Now you're getting cooler.

 

[MarciKS]

Hmm...

 

[MarciKS]

Because their hearts were crushed?

 

[PamfromTx]

Because they lost their shape after being crushed?

lol

 

[debodun]

There are several answers that are so close that I will consider it near enough. My answer is "They were crushed."

 

[MarciKS]

So Pam and I can share the win on this?

I think you were the first one to suggest, "crushed"... though. Way to go, @MarciKS
