[Talk-us] How to tag Edible Arrangements?

[Peter Dobratz]

In the past, I've used shop=florist for the Edible Arrangements shops that
I have mapped.  I guess I was drawn to the word "Arrangements" in their
business name.  They sell fruit cut and put on sticks to look like bouquets
of flowers.  I just got a yellow pages the other day, and there is an
Edible Arrangements shop listed under florists, along with the flower shops
that you would typically think of when you think of florists.

However, now that I think about it, shop=confectionery may be a better
fit.  They sell plain fruit pieces and also fruit pieces dipped in
chocolate.  Chocolate or not, their wares are sweet and meant to be eaten.

As with a lot of the amenity/shop/craft/office tags, there is often overlap
and you have to use your best judgement to try to pick the best one.
