YEAR END POLL: Apples vs. Oranges

apple cider is improved by adding an orange studded with cloves. orange juice never improved by adding an apple studded with cloves

if we allow the lemma that apple cider and orange juice are equivalent, respectively, to apples and oranges, then this can be expressed mathematically as "apple + orange > apple" and "orange + apple < orange"

these inequalities simplify to "orange > 0" and "apple < 0", therefore "apple < orange". oranges better than apples, proven by math

Nice work but I think you’re missing the cloves in your solve

the cloves cancel since they are the same in both equations

I resent having to choose between figurative oranges and oranges, the fruit. They just aren’t comparable!

I got a headache due to my brain playing out the who's-on-first sketch that this post kicks off.

I love this post almost as much as oranges

Anyone acting like this isn't a close call needs to get their head and tongue screwed on. It really comes down to the day, the phase of the moon, the direction of the wind and the alignment of the stars which fruit is better at any given moment. That said, oranges overtake apples in the figurative space due to their tang and connection to the spicier side of life.

What important nutrients do apples even have? ... I don't want to be rockist about fruit but, oranges are rich in Vitamin C, so they are kinda more "important"?

decent source of fiber

important source of so-called "hard" cider

If there was a hard cider that wasn’t so damn sweet I’d be all over that shit

this is a very good point.

all other citrus >>>> oranges
was pretty down on apples until the last year or 2 when Cosmic Crisp started showing up here in the sticks

voted pineapple

all other citrus >>>> oranges

you tripping blood oranges are the best oranges

glad you seem to agree with me

Oranges the fruit. They are the second best Starburst flavor
