Rotten Tomato

Rotten Tomato is a plant found in Plants Vs. Zombies 3. They can be unlocked way further into the game. On its own, it doesn't do anything. However, when a zombie eats it, not only are they poisoned and take damage overtime, but they also poison zombies around them and on the same tile as them. Rotten Tomato costs 4 sun and takes 30 seconds to recharge.
==Origins==
He is based on the tomato (Solanum Iycopersicum), the fruit of a plant in the nightshade family.
Their name, while literal, could also be a reference to Rotten Tomatoes, an American review-aggregation website for film and television.
==Strategies==
Rotten Tomato is a high risk, high reward plant that rewards players with aerial damage when planted in the right scenario. Its ability to deal damage over time can help players when it comes to high health targets or groups of zombies, whittling their health down until they either die of Rotten Tomato's poison damage, or are vanquished by other plants such as Peashooter or Bamboo Shoot.
Rotten Tomatoes can be used as an early-game plant to take out individual zombies, but it's better utilized against zombies with slow movement speed, high amounts of health or armor and groups of zombies. In this case, Rotten Tomatoes would be better utilized against Conehead, Buckethead, or other types of tough zombies. Having a zombie with high health poisoned by Rotten Tomato can help deal damage to the zombies surrounding his toxic 3x3 area, dealing damage until they are vanquished but before the irradiated zombie dies. However, when a Gargantuar approaches a Rotten Tomato and crushes it, it will not have its effects applied, rendering it useless.
