And I suppose it'd be okay if it were a singular orange sitting there, I wouldn't even notice the smell I don't think, but it becomes pretty apparent when you have a whole bunch of them in the fridge. Also when your hands contract the smell from touching one. It just makes me uncomfortable.
I do know that something you think has a bad smell can turn out to taste good, your senses are just deceptive like that sometimes, but when that uncomfortable smell is all I knew of oranges for a year, then it's just what it is. It made me not able to stand even the mention of oranges.
I still had oranges served to me back in the day and that's why I was okay with them, but ever since that stopped, yeah.
What changed it today is that I had some mandarin oranges (or tangerines, I really need somebody's help on what to call them, I'll just say tangerines from now on) that carried a lot of an orange's taste. The normal ones, I mean. Tangerines are usually very distinct, honestly not even that comparable to oranges for me other than their basic look and texture, which tangerines are superior in as well, by the way.
When it comes to how their tastes compare, an orange is the fat and less likeable cousin, and a tangerine is the cool cousin that does literally everything and anything better. They might be related, but they're totally different.
Anyhow, fruits are still very dynamic and come in all sorts of types, so, these tangerines just happened to be somewhat of a hybrid.
Close enough that it made me remember how an orange tastes, and that made me realize, they really aren't all that bad. I still don't appreciate their exact texture and taste, but nothing that I wouldn't eat if it were put on a plate.
Still, I would've preferred to have my normal pure-blooded tangerines. I'm still never going to go through the bother of getting an orange, even if I'm okay with them.
And since I've spoken of them a bunch, I just wanna touch a little on how much tangerines are better than oranges.
