The aweful truth about Oranges
The truth about oranges that so few talk about while admiring their pretty color, is quite simply, that they are very risky as a fruit.
They're not the consistent, rock solid and dependable choice of a fruit like bananas or grapes. I've just never been let down by a banana or grape.
With oranges, each one usually tastes different. It's a gamble. We rarely talk about this problem as a society. We just look right past it as if it doesn't exist.
You always pick one up thinking "hmm... an orange sounds good" but only because you remember the better oranges you've had... then you peel it, take that bite and think "Fuck, what is this nasty, bitter shit that i just put into my mouth".
Then you'll often turn around and look at all your pretty little oranges and immediately think "aren't those things pretty... i bet they taste wonderful. looks at those colors. wow. surely that last one was a fluke" and you peel another one and you get the same god damned thing.
You're always left thinking "i can't believe i always fall for this shit.... which reminds me, i'm almost out of oranges"
damn you oranges
damn you
