Very disappointed with Oranges

I havent bought oranges in a long time. But I try to look to see whats ones our good and what is bad. But sometimes its just hard 2 make that choice cuz u cant see them all....I would be very dissapointed too...I love oranges!

i like oranges but i prefer durian ....wow, the smell OMG

hey there shelly..happy day to ya! noo nooo its not just you..i live in Pennsylvania and te last few mths i have seem ahuge downfall in the quality of oranges..they have been tasting soo nasty!I know isaw on the news that florida and cali were or are havin probs with crops because of fires..hurricane damages and drought..not too mention farmers not being able to afford things they need for the farm..bad times are acoming..even more than they are now..:( and it scares me soo..:(

Why don't you grow them up yourself :) I always try to buy the orange ones and avoid the greenish ones. © ronaldinu 2008

Hi shellyann, i think u and all of us should change our diet to more nutrition vitamin c. For me i took shaklee sustained release vitamin c, its contained 7 oranges in one tablets. You should try it :) for more detail lon on www.shaklee2u.com.my

When an orange is juice less , you can try to put them in the microwaveoven for 10-20 seconds (no more). So, the orange get more juice. But the taste no, if the orange has bad taste, there is no way to improve.

I get aggravated when the oranges start to mold. You sort through the bags to find the best one to purchase and when you get them home they almost immediately start to spoil. Sometimes we have purchased a bag of oranges and they are so sour that you can't eat them.

I haven't had any issues with oranges in particular lately but I do get annoyed when fruit or vegetables I buy look so tempting on the outside, yet are a complete disappointment on the inside. I find this especially with apples actually and they look really shiny and feel very crisp yet when I get the home and try one, they are all chalky and bland. Anyway, there is no word in the English language that rhymes with ORANGE, so how can you possibly trust a fruit that has no word that rhymes with its name??

I just bought some very delicious oranges. I am sorry for your bad experience but then again...I am so glad that it was just oranges that spoiled your day.

I haven't eaten any oranges since last spring, but I did just buy a small package of organic oranges yesterday (I might have to try one tonight to see if I have the same problem) I had all but stopped eating apples. They looked great and were very juicy, but had little taste...until I tried an organic apple. They aren't as big as the other apples in the store, nor are they as red. They are just as juicy, but the taste is outstanding! They are very sweet and full of flavor. I know there is an economical squeeze affecting almost everyone, but if you can find an extra dollar or two, treat yourself to organic fruit. The apples are almost addicting, the bananas are great and the grapes are very sweet and juicy. I'll give the oranges a try after dinner to see how they taste.

Its very disappointing when you get bad produce especially when you have to pay a great deal of money for them.

that is what happening when you buying in supermarket which selling a packet... like a packet of pens, apples, etc... most of the time when i bought a packet of pens contain 5 pens, only 2-3 pens can be used, the rest no ink! kinda hate that but it's cheap.. sigh

Oranges are definetly not somethign you would want to buy in bulk. I'm from Florida and eat oranges constantly and whenever I buy them from the bag they're aren't juicy and tend to go bad waaaay before theirm time. If I were you pick a handful of really good ones instead of a mediocre bag full. This way you know exactly you are getting. It might be cheaper to buy the bulk but at the end of the day the more expensive one will be eaten instead of the compost pile.

I have GRRRR it makes me so mad that i cant find good fruit theses days and i always but them with green o them. ummm how long did they sit out and were were they in the fridge or what

I haven't really bought any lately b/c they are so expensive. I did buy a bag of what they call Tangelos here...very small oranges and they were so tart we couldn't hardly eat them. Hubby managed to eat them though b/c he wouldn't throw them out. [b]**AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~[/b]

I usually buy oranges from costco. But last time I had a very bad experience like yours. So this time I didn't buy oranges from costco rather I bought from a local fresh vegetable and fruits stall. They gave a sample too. It was good. So I bought 2 lbs. But most of it were not good and juiceless.

I havent bought a bag of oranges this year. I have seen a decline in the banans we get. The color is just not like bananas used to be. I think more of the foods are grown in a greenhouse and that loses the flavor,etc from the sun itself!! I know that is true with the tomatoes you get that are green house grown.

I got some oranges here in the Uk. They where not green at the ends, but they did not taste very nice. My daughters did not eat them and I had to throw them away. I have had a lot of problems with other fruit lately too. I bought apples that where bad in a day and some grapes that did not taste good either. Can fruits be out of season in different countries we are buying them from or is it just mast produce rubbish we are buying? I do think something is up with the fruit. I am glad you have brought this up.
