Their colour is so misleading, because red food should be like really tangy and strong. Either sweet like a strawberry or cranberry, or savoury like ketchup. Tomatoes taste like they should be a pale green or yellow, but they're red. It's fucked up.

I think that mostly depends on the tomato species, the supermarket big ones circle shape normally lack flavor, but the little oval shape ones are normally strong in flavor to me (saladette)

Yep. Beef tomatoes are watery nothingness. Cherry or plum tomatoes are really tangy and strong, like red.
