This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

In tropical regions it’s common for ripe oranges to be green

Tropical regions? Look at the guy! This is clearly somewhere in Eastern Europe!

What? Aren't you talking about lime?

No, oranges only go orange if exposed to temperatures below 13C

What influence does temperature have on peel color? Sweet oranges require low night temperatures (below 55º F.) Before they will color well.

Huh, TIL.

Wife is one of those tropicals, she says they have both orange and green oranges, depending on the type. I asked her what type is green, and we have the same type here but it's orange.

Also Fanta is yellow, btw

Limes are unripe. If you let them ripen, they'll turn yellow.

As someone with a lime tree this is so true. Limes are so much better if you pick them right as they yellow.
