apples vs oranges

Thanks, Con. My opponent appears to be shocked and frustrated that I brought up more than "one to three arguments" and hopes that I am either young and/or this is one of my first debates. She ends this thought by saying "But, whatever. I'll play your game." When I asked her to provide evidence that oranges are more nutritious than apples overall she said that "she doesn't need evidence" and concluded her second round with a request that I wait as long as possible until posting my next round because she decided to go camping. This is a half-serious debate about whether apples are preferable to oranges or whether oranges are preferable to apples. Apples are the main ingredient in Apple pie. If you like Apple pie, this could affect your preference for apples over oranges. Apple pie can taste very much like apples with some good home recipes. Peeling oranges is time consuming if you're looking for a quick snack. It's also messy. Nobody likes cleaning up old pieces of orange peel left on the counter. The stringy "stuff" in oranges isn't fun to take out, it's pretty gross, messy, and bland tasting. People who still take apples to teachers are the people who still take apples to teachers. It's a nice gesture and it would certainly win some favor with the teacher. Apples don't go bad by sitting out for a day. You can leave apples out for weeks and they won't go bad. Apples rhyme with chapel. What does orange rhyme with? Orange doesn't rhyme with anything. There are way more things that Apple rhymes with. Apples don't have a negative connotation of not being able to rhyme with anything. This could make apples preferable. We are talking about fruit and not companies, but psychologically, a highly successful company named after a fruit could affect your preference for it. Conversely, a terrible company named after a different fruit, let's say Orange, could affect your preference for that fruit as well. Oranges come in less variety but now your choices are more limited. People who don't like green apples can eat red ones and people who don't like red ones can eat green ones. Oranges are just orange. Variety is good and allows a greater audience to partake in eating the fruit. They didn't name the color orange after the fruit, they named the fruit after the color. Oranges are more rounded and rollable, but if you dropped a basket of fruit right outside the supermarket your oranges are going to roll away and your apples are gonna stay right next to you. Even if you decided not to eat the fruit since you dropped and damaged them, the apples would be easier to pick up since they'd be near you. The roundedness of oranges also encourages unsanitary practices of rolling the fruit everywhere and possibly damaging it through the skin. My opponent previously argued that whatever companies are named after fruit is irrelevant but argues that Cuties named their oranges Cuties. It can't be both ways. Fuji is a large apple company. You can see the bruises on apples, making it easy to avoid eating the damaged part. When oranges are damaged it's a different shade of orange meaning that it's harder to see and you're probably more likely to eat the bad area. Bad citrus tastes horrible, much worse than an apple that starts to go bad. Apples when they start to go bad taste bland but when oranges start to go bad they taste strongly repugnant. It's subjective which seeds are more fun to spit out, I think apples seeds are more fun. You can't eat an apple core, and an apple core tastes bad, but you also can't eat an orange peel and an orange peel tastes bad. The choice is clear: apples are better than oranges.
