Apples and oranges ??

Sign in to disble this ad
After seeing a lot of people describing 2 basses as apple and orange I wonder which one do you prefer.

I voted orange because it's easier to make juice with them and they contain a bit more vitamin C.

I voted apples because you have so much variety. With oranges you have what...oranges. That's right.

Apples and Oranges are EXACTLY the same, and no one can tell the difference. Until you can show me hard eveidence that they are different, I'll call b.s. on this. You all just think you prefer one over the other.

You can't scientificly prove one is any better than the other.

I would vote oranges. I personally like to eat apples more often, because of the varieties of foods containing them, but there's nothing better the juicy and refreshing qualities of an orange. Not to mention how bright and flavourful they are compared to apples which although full of their own flavour are more "potato' like. Plus, when it comes to oranges, the juice has lots of pulp! Nice tall glass of mother-flippin' sunshine.

I chose apples because they're more verstaile. There's apple pie, apple cobbler, apple strudel, apple butter, apple jelly, etc. Plus, there's more variety of apples than oranges.
