Answer:

The correct wording should rather be "fruit flies like bananas (in general)". ... The sentence "time flies like an arrow" is in fact often used to illustrate syntactic ambiguity. Modern English speakers understand the sentence to unambiguously mean "Time passes fast, as fast as an arrow travels".
