Trashdome: Apples vs Oranges

Apples are, obviously, the most elegant choice. One can eat them without getting juice everywhere, they can easily be cut into boats of equal size, and - as has been mentioned - they are much more suited to impress an authority figure like a teacher, king, burgher, or some such. Also, apples are grown in germany where everything orderly, neat, and a weak seven comes from.

Oranges, on the other hand, are messy taste explosion that mixes much better with alcohol.

I'm voting oranges - it's the more ameritrashy choice.

Oranges

good words Mads, it is the more AT fruit

Vote: Oranges.

Apple is both a fruit and an electronics/lifestyle manufacturer.

Since we're voting on the fruit here,

vote: Apple(s)

I wouldn't name my kid Apple either.

I worked with a woman named Apple. She was bat-shit crazy. After a year of interacting with her on various projects, I concluded that having to live with that name was what warped her completely. Then again, my grandmother, an OB-Gyn nurse for 40 years, actually *watched* (so no "urban legend" story here--she was physically present as it was entered on the hospital paperwork) as a woman in Camden, NJ, name her daughter "Vagina." So, I guess it could be worse.

As for this, Apples are better peanut-butter delivery vehicles. Oranges, on the other hand, are superior as a complement to alcohol. Both work nicely when cooked with pork, but apples are far better when paired with bacon. In addition, apples can be converted *into* a very tasty alcohol. Can be turned into alcohol and are superior when paired with bacon? There is no question here...

Vote: Apple. That said, blood oranges are *almost* capable of overcoming the apple's superior compatibility with bacon, the food of the gods--all gods, even the Jewish and Islamic editions. Their faithful are banned from consuming it simply because the gods want to keep all the bacon to themselves. . All other oranges pale in comparison to the blood orange--particularly when they are mulled with port and a dash of brandy as a warming winter beverage.
