Apples Vs. Oranges

[Other Thafoo]

Thafroot is a healthy part of a balanced diet

Oranges are the fruit of peace, death to those that say otherwise. :-)

[KoloToure]

Oranges, cleaner? That's just fallacious right off the bat. The juice goes everywhere when you try and open them. And I mean everywhere.

[Infected Mushroom]

Apples.

1. Apples due to convenience. You need a knife or to really dirty your fingers to open an orange. You can just eat the apple if you don't give a damn about pesticides; Grab and Bite approach.

2. Apple juice > Orange juice in most cases.

3. Apple pies are also really good (orange pies? come on). There's a reason why McDonald never came up with Orange Pies.

4. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. An orange a day? I don't think so... (of course, oranges have their nutritional powers too but there's a reason why an apple is better known for them)

5. In Game of Thrones, apples are shown and not oranges. Renley Baratheon was holding an apple as he was considering Baelish's offer to switch sides and help him take KL... Oranges MIGHT have appeared somewhere but apples are definitely more prominent.

6. There's a very powerful corporation, one of the world's most powerful, named in honor of the Apple. There is no counterpart for Orange.

Ugh, that citrus/dairy combo is vile.

'Sides, everybody knows that cherry is the superior popsicle flavor. Though... I wonder how an apple flavor would work-? Note to self: try making something like that with frozen apple juice sometime.

Do it. I've got a set of the lick and sip ice lolly moulds and use apple juice in them all the time - it's good

I voted apple, as I'm more likely to just grab one to eat than I am an orange - but it's a damn hard choice. I mean, Jaffa Cakes alone could pretty much tip the balance the other way...

I love making stuff with orange peels.

[Antirome]

I'm kind of torn. I'm having to choose between Grand Marnier and Calvados...

I'll go with apples, if only because of the sheer variety of apples and apple dishes. Cider, apple pie, apple brandy, red sauerkraut, apple schnapps...

It's close, but apples.

[Ancient Magmia]

Apples. Fuji apples in particular; they've been a favorite of mine for as long as I can remember. The pith on oranges irritates the hell out of me, and I prefer the sweetness of the apple.

[Lindenholt]

Oranges

Says the Dutch

[The Huskar Social Union]

Oranges.

Because orangness.. yes.

[Allanea]

I personally am in favor of big red apples.

[Persica Prime]

My previous post notwithstanding, I will side with apples for their pivotal place in the smells and tastes of autumn, my very favourite season.

[Ethel mermania]

an apple a day keeps the doctor away.....


so i pick oranges, they dont deny medical care to their users.

[The Greater Ohio Valley]

I like the taste and texture of an apple better than an orange.

[Forsher]

Apples on the basis that while I am not keen on them, I don't like oranges. In terms of juices apple juice is better. Plus, cooked apples are actually worth it (esp. if cooked immediately after a steak or something's been in the pan).

[Aeken]

Apples because Martinelli's. That shit is da bomb.

[Great Kleomentia]

If i had to eat one of the two every day for the rest of my life, it would be apples.
Besides, have you ever tried making orange pie?

[New Aerios]

Yeah, and look what happened to Renly. You eat apples, you get killed by a demon shadow baby.

Trying taking candy from that baby, i dare you.

BEHOLD, IMAGE SPAM.

They both taste like acid. So, I'm not a huge fan of them.

Apple is more convenient and easier to eat, while there's a good load of tricky work in peeling an orange. Oranges taste more like acid, as well. My teeth don't like the taste of acid.

I checked the pH values of oranges and apples and it seems like I was right -- oranges are more acidic. The pH value of oranges are between 2.9-4.0 and the pH value of apples are somewhere between 3.3-4.0 . (Correct me if the values are wrong)

Also, when I bite an orange the liquid tends to spout out in a similar fashion that tomatoes do when I bite them. Therefore, I'm forced to eat the oranges as a whole.

And whereas the apple is used as a symbol for hip consumer electronics, there's pretty much only the Annoying Orange that can claim a somewhat similar fame. I think I've made my point.

[Acharastan]

Oranges. They have a color named after them.

[Bralia]

KUMQUAT MASTER RACE!

But if I were forced to make a choice at gunpoint, I suppose I'd choose oranges. Kumquats and oranges have a similar texture.

[Bezombia]

Apples are objectively better than oranges. Fact.
