I want to grow a new strain of apple and call it Orange

Icalasari

Then I want to make it a commonplace apple

That way, I can confuse people by asking for an Orange, then when they hand me an orange, I can go, "No, the apple!"

That's so dumb that I'd love to try doing it.

1) Make paper cutout Stetson.

2) Draw freckles.

3) Crush Euclidean geometry underfoot to warp plastic toy into a two-dimensional representation of Flash.

I never did understand why the Applejack figures don't come with hats.

I get that they're aimed at little girls, but I know when I was a kid that would have driven me crazy just as much as it does now.

Choking hazard, probably.  Because children up to the age of 12 will stuff anything smaller than a sofa in their mouths.  Or something.

*sigh*

I miss when toymakers would trust people not to be completely retarded.

I got a MLP toy for Christmas and it had accessories that are easily smaller than what AJ's hat would be. Also, IIRC there are sets that include a hat for Applejack, but they're blue...

Orange Apples you say?

DonZabu

You're just comparing apples to oranges here.

Icalasari

Ba-dum TSH!

There is actually a type of apple called a Cox's Orange Pippin. I have eaten them and they are tasty.

But not actually orange.

Gelzo

Well they don't call it a color spectrum for nothing. Maybe it was closer to orange than other apples, so in that case wouldn't it be an orange apple, relatively speaking?

@DonZabu wins this thread.

^^ Not really, unless you think reddish-brown is anywhere near orange.

I used to wonder occasionally, when I was shopping, whether hanging about near the fruit section and asking a woman whether they "liked Cox" would be the best or worst chat-up line ever. Or both.
