Default Show comma in data validation list?

Would someone please help. Thanks.

I want the following 3 items in a data validation list. Note they have
commas in the items.

Apple, Kiwi, and Orange
Strawberry, Mango, and Banana
Pineapple, Banana, and Orange

I can't get data validation to display the comma in the item because it
takes the comma as a seperator for a new item. So typing the above show
the following list:

Apple
Kiwi
and Orange
Strawberry
Mango
and Banana
Pineapple
Banana
and Orange

I have to be able to type these items directly into the DV list, not
into cells where DV uses a cell reference.

Can this be done?

Thanks again.
