I never had these before, so while I was getting groceries I got a couple. They are very purely orangey sweet. I sourness or tang at all. Very nice change of pace for me, thank you.
Glad you liked them! They really are just pure sweetness. Easy to peel too.

My wife handed me her iPad last night and asked if I could ID a watch that some female celebrity was wearing. "That's a Rolex GMT Master II. That color combo is called a Pepsi because of the red and blue dial," I said.

"That's a Rolex? Are you sure?" she asked.

"Yep."

"Huh. It looks a lot like a Timex" she said. :lol:

Lots of chatter about what sports fans will do without their usual fixes.

But how about the gamblers. Will they be reduced to betting which ant will cross the picnic table first?

Thanks for this.

From the article:

”Game of Thrones” betting made headlines last spring with tons of U.S. interest, even though odds weren’t offered in legal U.S. sportsbooks. Though that series is over, might we see futures bets on other popular TV shows or even reality TV like “The Bachelor” and “The Masked Singer"?

(I'd rather bet on the ants!)

Betting on tv shows is like betting on a fixed ant race.

I just had my first one! Oh my, it was very nice! Sweet, easy to peel, no sourness at all. It was a bit pricey ($3 for one!) but I bought it from Whole Foods (duh...). I will look for it at my local Krogers.

I love these, but they are so expensive. $3.99/lb at stores around me.

Yes, definitely a "once in a while treat" as I would tell my kids.

Maybe this would be more appropriate in the non-watch deals section. $2.99/lb with Prime at Whole Foods.

OK, maybe it's me, but does it make a lot of sense to spend almost $800 to walk around as an advertising billboard?

No, but it tells everybody who it's by on an IG post (at least that's what my hip friends tell me!).
