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.
You are still correct. I have stopped buying whole bags of any sort of orange or thing in the orange family. That is because I know chances are more than one will be a duff and then I won't finish the bag.

Melons, berries and even apples are far more honest about what they have going on underneath.
