small beauties: these tiny tomatoes, which are VERY SMALL

[ My hand, holding a palmful of tiny round tomatoes, ranging in size from three-eights to maybe half an inch. Most are yellow; the rest are red. ]
THEY’RE SO TINY, they are seriously so small I got CUTENESS AGGRESSION FROM THEM, I ate them all in, like, three days. They’re, yanno, store tomatoes, they taste okay but not great. but they’re SO TINY.
I hope we can find seeds or seedlings for em. I want two containers of them growing in a nice spot outside, one on each side of a comfy chair. I will sit in my comfy chair, read a book, & gorge myself on freshly-grown, sunwarmed, tiny round tomatoes.
& then I will probably have acid reflux, but some things are totally worth it. NO REGRETS.

I recommend getting Sweet 100 cherry tomatoes if you can lay hands on them (which I think shouldn't be too hard, because they are deservedly popular). They're disease resistant, they're extremely prolific even in neglectful conditions, they do well in containers (although I do recommend nothing smaller than 5 gallons so you don't have to water Every. Single. Day), and they're incredibly delicious!
Also, do consider getting a cattle panel1 or at least some ladder mesh2 to trellis them; the tomatoes are much easier to pick when you can actually reach the trusses through the vines and foliage. Tomato cages are useless for vining tomatoes, and stakes and twine are a fricking pain to set up.
...although now I come to think of it, if reflux is an issue, Sungold is a variety I've heard good things about that might be better for you, since yellow and orange tomatoes tend to have less acid than red ones.
