Plus, they're the kind of shell that gets your hand feeling all yucky after you peel it, making you have to go wash them. That's just very undeserved extra work for a C-grade fruit. Bananas, they sometimes make me have to go wash my hands because the insides of their peels get your fingers all sticky if you as much as tap them, but that's okay because bananas are good for it. It's not that I'm too lazy of a person to bother with washing my hands, it's that I have to do it for something like an orange, that's what bothers me. You get the point.
All that alone on it's own has been enough to make me not have an orange for, probably a year now? Not that I'm any good at keeping count, but it's been a long time. I'm just never going to go out of my way to get a fruit for myself if it's that tedious of a task, without having any good of a reward to show for it. Maybe I sound like I do hate oranges by talking about it like that, but I really don't think so, I don't have any particular distaste for them. What makes me look down on them so much is how inferior they are to tangerines (or mandarin oranges, I really don't know what to call it), we'll get to that later.
But that's not all, still. That's enough to make me not wanna get oranges, but not enough to make me think I dislike them. (Hate is a strong word, I'm switching it to dislike.)
I think what made me do that was the smell that comes from the orange's shell. Really. To me, it comes off like an obnoxious version of how oranges taste. Similar, but distorted to a point where it gives me a micro mood swing.
How I'd describe it, like how an orange would taste if you dipped it into a sauce that you don't really like? Not fully, but enough to tint it with it's taste. If you know how yoghurt gets onto fries, exactly like that.
It also has a really soggy smell, which I absolutely hate. I don't know if "soggy" is how you express it, but, yeah.
