Come round Christmas time I find myself eating hundreds, maybe even thousands, of those little oranges. Most people agree that the Manderins taste better but I want to go deep. You don't rate a game soley on its graphics so let's weight some key factors other than taste.

The Pros of Manderins
-they is so good
-they are easy to peel
-they don't have very much of the white stuff :p

The Cons of Manderins
-there's not enough work involved to get to fruit so I eat to many and get diarrea :(
-there's never enough of the Japanese ones (the Chinese ones aren't as good)
-they're too small
-they're all individual wrapped up in paper... WTF
-can only buy them at Christmas time

The Pros of Oranges
-they are big
-they're magically delicous (sometimes)
-you can buy them year round
-lots of effort to get at them means I don't eat too many

The Cons of Oranges
-rarely do they taste better than Manderins
-all the white stuff ruins the rest of the orange
-all the work peeling them gets orange under your fingernails
-not endorsed by Santa Claus


Make sure to post why you choose what you did as the subject of oranges is no laughing matter.

I get Terry's chocolate oranges, most often the white chocolate ones. That is what you're looking for yes? The unhealthy better tasting alternative, with extra packaging.

Oh yeah, I'm allergic to oranges by the way.

I am unaware of this "christmas orange" tradition, but I do enjoy me some chocolate orange during the holidays

I eat Mandarins all year round, they of course being the far superior fruit.

Christmas Oranges are far superior to their atheist brethren. They pack more flavour, are easier to peel, don't have seeds, and don't have those nasty, nasty navels.

The only downside is that because they are wrapped in Magic Asian Flavour-Paper, you can't tell as easily if you have a few bad ones in the box.
