And I'm the one that jaded you.
The dark ones from Michigan aren't really sold by a particular name. Google says they are these varieties, though. Ulster, Schmidt, and Sam.

They've been on sale at Meijer since early June. I've got a lot put up now for pies and cheesecake and ice cream this winter. We're having that angel food cake I mentioned for 'zert tonight, with cherry-flavored icing (home made) and decorated on top with cherries and wild blueberries from our meadow.
Life's pretty good up here in the unFrozen North!
I hope @Diesel has time to return soon. He knows good eats.

What do I got here?
Oh yeah, Rasberry Coconut cake my friend's wife made.
Ribs cooked Prime-Rib style with Roasted Garlic and herb rub.
And cobs of corn. (ofc butter and salt)
Done knocked off all the tater salad and slaw last night.
Yeah, that was from the 4th.

Trick to buttering corn on the cob:
Keep the butter up top and let it melt down over it.
I've noticed a lot of people don't know that one.
You may have to rotate 1-2X for full coverage.

What are the odds? It's been quite a while since I peeked in here. And less than a day after you mentioned me, I logged in and saw this. Good timing!
I do love good cherries. Fruit generally is one of Earth's greatest gifts. What is everyone's favorite fruit? Do you use it for cooking or baking or just eat it raw? Mine is pineapple. There are few natural flavors in the world that taste better than fresh pineapple. I eat so much every time I go back to Hawai'i that my gums and tongue bleed. Worth it!
Welcome back, you've been missed. By us Nice Thread folks, too. lol
I'd have to go with cherries for #1 followed by seedless grapes, esp. green ones. Pineapple is amazing and would be a favorite too if I wasn't allergic to it.

Pineapples are good, probably not so much when the brother in law fucks 'em up with the riding mower when they're too green.
Yeah, that one's probably gonna be wasted. There's others, dipshit needs to watch where he's going.

Pineapple, mango, blackberry, and cherry. I'm a Michigander, so I had to include cherries.
Fresh fruit is great but I love the convenience of having a bag of frozen mixed tropical fruit and one of mixed berries. Usually topped with some french vanilla yogurt after defrosting.
My wife loves canned pineapple and cottage cheese for a snack.

That was one of my favorites to take to work!
You're allergic to pineapple? That's a damn shame. I'm obsessed with it. Have you ever tried a cotton candy grape? They're outrageously expensive, but they're so good. Also seedless.
Do you like honeydew melon? I think it's a fruit imposter. I am not a fan.
For an island boy, I'm not into mango very much. The fresh stuff is slimy. Most things "mango flavored" are pretty gross. But that hasn't stopped me from eating multiples of my body weight in mangos in my lifetime. I love the rest of your list.
I like melons, kiwi, those little tangerines and honeycrisp apples.
Do you like Rainier cherries? I like them better than most of the others.
I do! But here it seems we just get the grown-in-Michigan ones, which is fine. I'm having some with breakfast.
Never even heard of them! We live in the hinterlands, you know, where such things are rare. lol
I've had honeydew a few times; not a fan either. Home-grown cantalopes though? OMG, they melt in your mouth. A coworker used to go visit her family in Mississippi every summer and bring back a trunk load of them from a local farm. She gave all of her friends a couple each. They were huge, almost the size of basketballs and so sweet you could hardly stand it.

We have them, but I've never tried them.
