They tend to be more consistent.
On my way to the office this morning, i was thinking "maybe this is a citrus problem... not an orange problem" - but then i had a hard time recalling ANY negative experience with limes, lemons or grapefruit. but oranges and orange related fruit (tangerines, mandarins, tangelos, clementines etc etc).. nothing but sad sad tales of inconsistency and disappointment.

There are few things worse than having the perfect tangerine for example... then the next 20 are horrible. you keep hoping, even through the disappointment and tasteless next few or more, and you try to remain positive... but it's akin to gambling in Vegas. The only real winner with oranges, is the grower.
