What's everybody's opinion on oranges?

How do they compare to, let's say, apples?

Apples and Oranges

Thus it would appear that the comparing apples and oranges defense should no longer be a valid argument!

Vitreous citrus vs. permeable pommes in a scientific experiment?

Well, I like oranges.

I was hoping for personal validation via a concensus opinion here.

Maybe it's my upbringing, but I sometimes get the feeling God might get cross (or at least slightly miffed) with me if I eat an apple.

I'll weigh in. I'm not a fan of oranges. I don't like eating foots you have to work at to eat. The peels are just too much of a pain in the ass, and you have that gross white stuff on the outside.

Give me an apple anyday.

Sorry Reg, no validation from this cowboy

I'm particularly excited by some of the newer varietals. Limas are giving Valencias a real run in the Juicing category.

Since the Moderator has graciously added a poll to this thread, let's look at the two comparative statements.

"An apple a day keeps the doctor away."

vs.

"A day without it (oranges) is like a day without sunshine."

Which is the truer statement?

Biggest reason apples win: Red Delicious and Golden Delicious. They don't name them 'delcious' for no reason. Come back to me when they invent a 'Tasty' orange.

This is the second (2nd) time I've ever laughed at that line. Yes, the first time was Good Will Hunting. But I was laughing because he was bragging that he got monkey-face's phone number. God that girl is ugly.

Yeah, but you're a Mango. You're biased.
