Love the joke but in reality everything has that range.
Some frogs are cool, some good to eat, some make you hallucinate, and some immediately kill you.
I believe tomatoes are also part a deadly family of plant Im too lazy to look up.
Berries, octopus, liver, everything.
Damn nature, you scary.

Nightshade family (Solanaceae):
Tomatoes (yummy)
Nightshade (some are deadly)
Datura (deliriant that causes multi day psychosis, might tank your liver)

Also tobacco and chilis. Nightshades got range.
So many different plants being genetically close (ish) makes it possible to do all kinds of fun experiments with grafting. Something like tomatoes and eggplants that have nicotine (though still mostly in the leaves) or potatoes that also make habanero peppers.
