Lemons, although extremely sour are much easier to deal with than oranges.

You can eat a lemon whole, although most people don't.

There is no need to peel a lemon, all you have to do is slice it open.

Oranges, on the other hand, are a disaster. It doesn't matter how good they taste, the struggle trying to get them open is often not worth the sweet rewards.

Let's face it, how many times do you finally get the skin off the orange and its dry, tasteless even? Its at least one out of every 6 oranges I have ever had, and I am not liking those odds.

I would rather crack open a lemon any day because at least the sour is expected.

A sour orange is a disappointment as we expect them to be sweet.

Oranges are often inconsistent in this way. One could be the juiciest fruit you have ever tasted and the next a battered, bruised, or dry disaster.

An orange without juice is like a well without water. Arguably the juice is the best part of the orange, the reason why we all choose to eat it in the first place so the fact that not every orange in the bag is the juicy fruit anticipated, is really quite annoying. Yes, you could buy orange juice, but how often is that real orange juice?Does it even taste the same?

As an “adult" arguing lemons and oranges may seem silly.

After all, they are both citrus fruits, they are both tasty in their own right, and we should appreciate them as they are.

But, it was not a lemon that ruined breakfast this morning by being unattainable.

It was an orange.

I failed in my attempt to peel the fruit, therefore requiring me to seek outside sources.

Although I may just be out of practice… I feel like the orange is more at fault as it was its skin that was too hard to peel off by hand.

I can then conclude lemons are by far the superior fruit as they are and shall always be reliable, trustworthy, and easily eaten. They can be served in a variety of ways from raw to beverage. If lemons are out of season, you can still find extract, juices, and powdered drinks at the store of far more consistent flavor and quality than oranges.
