Title relevant? Location? If so, please [LTPF list of centuries]? Location? If so, please [LTPF list of continents]? Was there a real strawberry? Its fault resulted in: loss of life or limb? loss of reputation? Are there any other persons involved? If so: H? A? M? Number: 1? 2? 3? More? True story? FYOI? FSEI? Is it a game involved? A sport? A cat? A blue whale? | ||

Title relevant? Only in that it refers to fruit and I couldn't think of a better one. Location? If so, please [LTPF list of centuries]? 21st century; today, actually. Location? If so, please [LTPF list of continents]? North America. To save you asking, California, USA. Was there a real strawberry? Yesish. Its fault resulted in: loss of life or limb? No, lol! Thank God... loss of reputation? Haha, not yet. Are there any other persons involved? There will be. :-p If so: H? A? M? I'm H/A/F, the rest who will be are a mix, I expect. Number: 1? 2? 3? More? Me and some number yet to be determined. True story? Yes. FYOI? This too. :-D FSEI? Yesish. Is it a game involved? I'd call it that. A sport? Sort of, game works better. A cat? Haha, no. A blue whale? Certainly not, where'd you get that idea? | ||

It is a wild guess? Or it is relevant? It's not really relevant, except in the way the cat and blue whale are. I know I said they're not relevant...they won't help you solve the puzzle by going off in those directions. Number: 4? 5? 6? 7? 8? 9? 10? More than 10? More than 20? More than 50? More than 100? I honestly have no idea at this juncture, but at least two others are relevant presently. | ||

I'm not sure whether there was only one strawberry or not. Initially, I'm sure there were many more, though I may have ended up with only one. | ||

Is the quoted "fruit" some virtual representation of a fruit? This is closer, but not strictly accurate. or fruit in a sense other than "the part of a plant that contains the seeds", such as "the fruit of one's labors"? It's not actually a fruit. It's been called one, but it's not like your example. | ||

Banana: a candy? Is the "banana" edible? Is the "strawberry"? The banana and strawberry are real fruit. The "banana" is not, and is not edible. The "strawberry" (which is the same as the strawberry) is only yesishly fresh fruit because when I began working with it, it was part of another food, not whole...which is also why I am uncertain whether it was only one strawberry or not. POSSIBLE BLOOPER: 2 of the H/A/M's are only assumed to be A. | ||

Yogurt? It was, indeed, strawberry-banana yogurt. Which had a picture of a strawberry and a banana on the cover. And there was also a banana besides it in the smoothie. Now all that's left is what the "banana"-which-is-not-a-banana has to do with it and why I couldn't finish my smoothie. | ||

All right, I have another one I want to post and no one seems to be getting these, so I'll just $poyle... I was, in fact, led to a YouTube video by Galfisk the day I posted this puzzle, of him and his friends trying to jump from their yellow jump plane in formation. It failed spectacularly a couple of times. This plane is known, from Galfisk's own puzzle, as "the banana" affectionately (among some non-affectionate names which probably shouldn't be repeated on a family forum). It was "the banana's" fault that I lost my strawberry-banana smoothie. HOWEVER, another puzzle had already been posted recently (I forget just whose, at the moment) where "the banana did it," and that just added to the hilarity of this idea, so it was indirectly that banana's fault as well. I did not want to use the line "it was the banana's fault" lest I be accused of copying or mislead, so I blamed the poor, innocent mashed strawberry from my yogurt, which had no fault except landing on my much-troubled computer monitor. Thanks to Galfisk for the amusing link to the "banana"! Also, I was classing anyone who tried to solve the puzzle as 'relevant' as the LTPF was very relevant...and Galfisk, as the "banana's" provider, was vaguely relevant. And that is the ***SPOILER*** | ||
