Oh, is that true?
That name "snake berries" is a literal translation of the Japanese way of calling them.
Most Japanese call them Hebi(snake)Ichigo(berries).
There are two theories as to the reason for their name.
1. because they spread like snakes crawling on the ground in the bushes
2. they look sweet and tasty, but they don't taste good, so just feed them to the snakes
aha ha!! 😄🐍🍓

That's really interesting! These berries aren't native to the US. I wonder if somehow we got our name for them from the Japanese language.
I can imagine a 2-d computer game that has snakes slithering around a lawn, gobbling up snake berries for energy.
