Which Mandarin Oranges Should I Buy?
So I just got back from the grocery store, and hurray! the boxes of Mandarin oranges are out. But which ones are the "good ones" or are they all the same. I saw:
Korean
Japanese "The Original"?
&
Chinese
So I ended up buying the Chinese ones cause they were the cheapest, but honestly is their any difference amoung them?

Are there such things as clementines in Alberta?
Everyone else in Canada tells me that what I grew up calling mandarins are actually clementines, and that mandarin oranges are something else.

My brother in law is a produce manager. He told us a few years ago Chinese are much tastier, and cheaper to boot. I always find the Japs to have so many green ones in box.

Wait, so these mandarins I'm eating should have seeds? I feel totally ripped off right now! I'm totally returning half this orange... Like Kramer would do.

I prefer the Japanese as i've never had a bad box, whereas the Chinese ones often don't last a week, even in the fridge before they go bad

I wish I could find some Mandarin Oranges. Seemingly impossible to find around here in Kentucky.
