        Is an orange still an orange if it's purple? Should it not be a purple?

        My biggest question is there is a government agency that actually took the time to test one orange rather than just tell her to throw it away and quit wasting their time. I’m sure that’s what I’d hear. I can’t call 911 without them asking if I’m joking.

        Wow! It would be wonderful if somehow a new orange appeared. I remember the thrill I had when I first opened a Blood Orange. So awesome. Hope this was not a toxin or disease that caused it.

        Just cut up a fresh orange with a cut throat razor. So my question is HOW LONG DO I WAIT BEFORE IT CHANGES COLOUR?

        If you drop lemon juice on salt that turns purple too. What causes that ? Previously I presumed it is the iodine that changes colour.
