Strawberries symbolizing either: 1) Extreme cuteness. Innocence or sweetness may be thrown in on the side. Somewhere along the line, it was decided that strawberries were "the cute fruit," and they wear the designation with pride. See the Trope Namer herself for a particularly good example. OR: 2) Love, especially passion. Perhaps it's because they're shaped kind of like hearts. In Western examples, strawberries as symbols of love and/or passion tend to come with a side-order of Erotic Eating — especially if the strawberry involved is covered in chocolate. In Eastern productions, strawberries can mean more innocent love — and even occasionally Girls' Love.
