“Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad” is a popular saying. “Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a salad. Philosophy is wondering if a Bloody Mary counts as a smoothie” is an extension of the saying tat as been printed on several images. A Bloody Mary cocktail contains vodka and tomato juice.
The saying has been cited in print since at least October 2019 and probably originated on an image from The Stingy Vegan.
