Damn, I never had that. 
But it's not what I was thinking.

A site from a google search resulted in dates being the sweetest, not that I've ever been inclined to buy them in stores here. *shrug*
I'm happy enough with my mango+pineapple+watermelon combo for sweet delight that surely must be a taste of heaven.

cherimoya according to Mark Twain

Sweetness is a matter of taste. And tastes differ from individual to individual and it is acquired.
So technically, "the sweetest fruit" does not exist.

A fruit found on the East Coast and interior called “somotoo”. Not sure what the official name is but it’s the size of a golden apple but it’s soft and you need to bite it and the entire core is liquid filled with tiny seeds that you swallow with the liquid. Outside of the mango, this is the sweetest fruit I have ever tasted.

This might sound stale and corny but is the truth.
I guess people get false names for a reason. 
When I came back to the West and lived in Merica I had almost negligible contact with West Indians. Even if they were around, was too busy working overtime and overnight every 3 days and many weekends.
Anyhow I met some guys in New York and they kept on talking about this fruit and I tried to get them to tell me about it.
All they said was "It is the sweetest fruit on earth."
Once they were talking about it on CCC and peeps like Doosie did not believe I didn't know what it was.
CCC taught me a lot.
That fruit never existed in the vocabulary during my youth in Guyana.
In any case, I was too young to sample it.

Sweet common ones.
A speckled banana is a daily must. Good for the constitution also.
Better yet, cut it and put in the cereal with milk.
Sweet red cherry.
Mandarin, the sweet sister of tangerine.

No, fat poke is different, if I'm not mistaken.
Whitey comes in a pod like beans but it grows on trees, not vines.

Nice.
In Bim, we call them Figs. They are about 3 to 3.5 inches long.
My Granny would pick them young and put them in a Barrell with some grass. You could smell them as soon as you enter the door when they are ripe, even though the barrell is closed.

Its the same genus
2019-08-13 21:02:27
There are also new varieties being developed in Taiwan. The atemoya or "pineapple sugar-apple," a hybrid between the sugar-apple and the cherimoya, is popular in Taiwan, although it was first developed in the US in 1908. The fruit is similar in sweetness to the sugar-apple but has a very different taste. As its name suggests, it tastes like pineapple.

Watermelon is very sweet but only in the Caribbean - I usually squeeze a lil lime on mine because some of them can can be insipid. On the other hand sometimes the are just perfect -chilled and sweet with flavour

With sugar apples, you have to get to it before the birds do. They would leave custard apple for it. Even they knew they were sweeter.
