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

Good point!

All fruit is good?

On a more serious note, it's a toss up. The orange tastes better, but is more of a pain in the ass to eat. All that peeling is worth it, but I can have the apple finished by the time you get all the white crap out of the cracks. On the other hand, there is not danger in biting too deeply into an orange. None of that core garbage. Just fruit from peel to peel. Plus, with oranges, you never end up with pieces of skin in your teeth (unless you are one of those orange cutters who stick wedges in your mouth & try to suck all the juice out. You are totally wastin orange).

At the end of the day, I think I'm an orange man. The extra work is worth it.

ah, but you're forgetting the seed factor. You can control not biting into the core of an apple by being diligent. Orange seeds are completely random and are an unpleasant surprise....and no, the extra effort is not worth it. They're not that tasty. I'd even say Oranges are the most over-rated fruit on the market today.

Go apple or go home

I admit it. I'm a swallower. A seed swallower. Oranges/grapes/watermellon...

that explains your Orange-wing bias.

Oranges are truly Mother Nature's Wonder Substance. In addtion to being a wonderful source of food, they are also used in medicines, personal hygiene products, and biodegradable chemical solvents!

What's everybody's opinion on oranges?

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

You are on fire today.

[Reggie Dunlop]

Oh yah, and how come folks call a disagreeable or criminal-type feller a "Bad Apple?"

Cultural ingrainment, that's why!

[JiriHrdina]

Oranges were good under the old NHL but they simple aren't good enough for the"New NHL".

Someone is suggesting the Pope himself is a "bad apple"?

Fully one quarter of the world's population speaks Mandarin alone!

Mandarin: A kind of Orange!

I'm not planting that seed.

Ladies and Gentlemen let's examine the societal contributions of two noteworthy historial figures. One was John "Johnny Appleseed" Chapman and the other Julius "Orange Julius" Freed.

Appleseed was an illiterate frontier anarcho-agarian commie itinerate vagabond, who roamed the countryside planting apple orchards on land that wasn't his to begin with. A rather unkempt fellow, he hung out with forest animals, often preferring their company to that of fellow humans, according to legend.

His "apples" were nothing like the firm, large, juicy and arguably tasty types you see today in your local Superstore. No Sir. For these were the small, sour variety only fit to be converted into hard cider and hog fodder. Thusly, a burgeoning nation in its infancy was nearly lured into a state of ungreatness by this, this most un-American drunken dystopian.

On the other hand, Giant of Modern American Business Julius "Orange Julius" Freed sought to provide wholesome and delicious refreshment to a nation of thirsty consumers. His innovative franchises soon spread to malls across the continent and helped many fine citizens realize financial independence through operation of kiosks bearing his fine name.

Freed, in addition to being America's preeminent beverage magnate, was also a venerable inventor, a man who brought us the auto-cleaning spectacles, the inflatable shrimp trap, and the portable pigeon bather (I'm not making this up). A riveting life story of an American Hero. One must not confuse the eccentricities of a true genius with the antics of that hayseed Appleseed.

It's really no contest as to who is the greatest proselytizer of their respective fruit.

Granny Smith was some cheap pouch-bellied dingo-faced Australian floozy. Her "apple" was some crazed hybrid mutant creation totally typical of a place crawling with freaky marsupials (some featuring more than one anus).

[Displaced Flames fan]

Frankenstein never scared me. Marsupials do, 'cause they're fast.

[flamingchina]

Wow, tied 13 - 13 right now.
will the tension ever stop?

Who will sucseed? who will win?

A fight for the ages folks, we're witnessing history being made!!!

[Resolute 14]

Could this be the Calpuck equivalent of Astros-Braves?

[transplant99]

Orange.

Can't rhyme anything with that word.

That rocks,

Orange.
