Button groups in bootstrap are a way to display buttons consecutively. In jQuery, iterate over all of the options, and for each of them insert a button element into a button group. At the end, magically remove the select tag.
$("#convert").on("click", function() {
var btnGroup = "<div class="btn-group"></div>";
$("body").append(btnGroup);
$("option").each(function() {
$(".btn-group").after("<button>" + $(this).html() + "</button>");
});
$("#fruit-select").remove();
});
