Do you ever get this nagging thought on something and you have to get it out? Well, that's what just happend to me. Over the last few weeks I have been hearing the term "comparing apples to apples" a lot that my mind went after it; why we can only compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges and not apples to oranges; the result is the chart below...
| Similarities | Differences |
| Grows in trees | Apples can grow in moderate climate but Oranges grow only in tropical places |
| Used for juice | Apple juice is transparent while Orange juice is cloudy. Apple is pressed to produce juice, orange is squeezed |
| Size is comparable | though weight may not be comparable for the same size fruits |
| Both have seeds | while the color, shape and texture of the seeds are different |
| Both have great taste mostly sweet when ripe and sour when raw | Apples can be eaten with the skin, but not the oranges |
| Both are used in cooking | Have distinct flavor |
| Both have comparable fibre content | But an orange has a lot more vitamin C packed in it (160%) than an apple (10%) |
| The internal 'architecture' of apple and orange is different in that apples have no sectioning, whereas oranges are sectioned into 'individually packaged' wedges. |
| Apple skin is smooth while orange skin is porous |
| An apple a day keeps the doctor away; so when the doctor is smart keep the apple away :) but not the same with Orange |
| You cannot upset an apple cart; but an orange cart who cares? |
| A for Apple, but not O for Orange but Ostritch |
| Yeah, I feel much better now... but have I passed on the nagging thoughts to you?! Oh no! |

But how did you create that colour change for that table?

Hey,
You missed so many similarities. Both are fruits. I love both Apples and Oranges.
About differences, even no two oranges can be same :))) HAHA. All depends on the perspective.
Whenever someone says 'hey, you are comparing Apples with Oranges', I reply "Yes. For the time being I am doing so and at the next meeting, i will compare different kind of Oranges and then next I will compare two specific oranges...."
Tomz! You can do all sorts of HTML tags in the Edit HTML tab. I can forward you the code I used to create this table...
And @A! You are very smart! How could I forget that they are both fruits to begin with?!!
You have given loads of info in an amusing way.
Thanks
hii!!

I loved and agree totally with the doctor wala quote ;D

If you work with bunch of 'smart' people I work with, you will find similarities in most dissimilar things and differences between genetically identical apples.
Well well glad you got it out phewwwwww. Happy now. Relieved.good
Apple jam -Orange marmalade.
Orange peel can be used as tear stimulator (tried and tested)--cannot be done with Apple peel.
