Cukes are the nickname for cucumbers. A vegetable used in salads, and as eye compresses for puffiness.

Cucumbers. Here in the south you will often see signs at roadside fruit and vegetable stands advertising, "Maters, Taters, and Cukes." Translation - "Tomatoes, Potatoes, and Cucumbers."
Wikipedia says, "The cucumber (Cucumis sativus) is in the gourd family Cucurbitaceae, which includes squash, and in the same genus as the muskmelon. The plant is widely cultivated today."
"The cucumber plant has large leaves that form a canopy over the fruit. The vine is grown on the ground or on trellises, often in greenhouses."
"The fruit is roughly cylindrical, elongated, with tapered ends, and may be as large as 60 cm long and 10 cm in diameter. Cucumbers grown to be eaten fresh (called slicers) and those intended for pickling (called picklers) are similar."

Both are good for you, each fruit/vegetable has different vitamins. And so as more variety, as better. Vegetables have generally less sugar than fruits.

Could be cucumbers, Cuban nuclear bombs or cakes that make you puke. I'd vote for cucumbers.
