those are some weird oranges


Dekupon oranges (branded Sumo in the US)! They’re my favorite. Just the right amount of sweet, and the easiest to peel I’ve ever had.

That's because it's not: it's a mandarin-orange hybrid.

Fun fact: "dekopon" means basically "outie" (as in protruding navel, not Severance).


I’ve a few time now had to explain to older people that “no, it’s not the same things you had when you were a kid” about a few different foods.

Oranges, avocados, Brussels sprouts, and more I am forgetting. I’m receive basically the same “oh it’s the same thing!”.

They are just excited to see you, too.
