Anyone else?

I feel sorry for the flavor orange. Lime too, but especially orange. I mean, can you imagine the inferiority complex orange must wallow in after so many years of being picked over for the cool old guys cherry, strawberry, etc. or the hot new kids on the block like blue raspberry?

poor orange.

I think Grape also falls in this category.

I'd say grape is actually a pretty popular one...

And I, myself, feel more accutely sorry for the pomogranite than most fruits. I mean, it got so much good press back in the Old Testament, only to be grossly neglected by moderns...

I, myself, have always passed over orange and lime for the reds, purples, and blues in sweet tarts, skittles, and any kind of hard candy. But you have to notice that orange and lime have made a strong presence (a comeback?) in the fashion industry. Surely that salves the old wound, what?

My dearest Logan:

Gape mostly makes me want to puke on a baby, therefore, grape is also in this category. If you have a problem with this we can talk about this in a civilized manor at a latter time. Thank you.

i like orange. but i draw the line at blue food.

rachel tsunami said...

I have always felt that fake orange food is so far beneath the glory of a really good actual orange, that it deserved to be passed over. But if Becca Box loves and even prefers orange starburst, then I am willing to rethink orange. I will give orange a new chance. But not in clothes. I look gross in orange clothes.

amazing how many people instantly post a comment even though you've been gone AGES.

personally i'm a grape fan. it's kind of in the middle of things. and besides, orange gets to be the cool color in every sunset. i don't feel sorry for it at all, because everyone likes to admire a gorgeous, blazing orange sunset.

pomegranites, and i speak from experience, actaully taste quite good. i am thinking pomegranite homemade ice cream might be an expedient addition to daddy's homemade ice cream skills.
