To get two divs side by side, you can put them in left/right floating divs:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="//#" />
</head>
<body>
  <div>
    <div style="float:left;width:calc(50% - 5px);">
      <h3 class="class center">Red Fruits</h3>
      <div id="redid" class="redclass wrappingflexbox"></div>
    </div>

    <div style="float:right;width:calc(50% - 5px)">
      <h3 class="class center">Green Fruits</h3>
      <div id="greenid" class="greenclass wrappingflexbox"></div>
    </div>
  </div>

  <div style="clear:both">
    <h3 class="center class">Suggested Fruits</h3>
    <div id="randomid" class="randomclass wrappingflexbox top"></div>
  </div>
</body>
</html>

With your center style, the fruits would all be on one line, which is probably not what you want. You'd probably want to wrap them:

.wrappingflexbox {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
  justify-content: left;
}
