Fun fact: orange (the color) is named after orange (the fruit) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_(colour)#Etymology
Colours that live up to their name.
Names that live up to their fruit.
What color would you like this wall??
Ooh the color of an orange please.
Sure thing, it’s really where there isn’t a word for that color, isn’t it?

Or passion fruit… Them shits are delicious.
My experience with passion fruit is that they tend to shove it in every single mixed fruit juice, and what it does, is give those juices just a bitter aftertaste.
Also, it’s the citric acid giving all those juices the bitter aftertaste
May be, but a citrus fruit juices don’t have that aftertaste, even if they’re mixed with banana, mango or whatever. For me the common denominator is the passionfruit.

I’m talking about the actual fruit… may pops…
And I’m talking about my experiences about passion fruit, gramps.
Also, you’re fucking talking about “flavorings” in mixed fruit drink beverages…
It’s not the same fucking thing kid.
Sorry I don’t live in " Teh 'Muricah", brat. In rest of the world we have actul whole juices. No flavourings, no added sugar, in many cases no predervatives even. Just the raw juice fruit.
Brat??? Lol…
Guy, you’re the one who started shit in that conversation… And there’s no way you have juices wherever you are in the world with a significant amount of passion fruit juice in it.
The gramps shit is uncalled for.
Why the fuck does everyone insist on being a fucking asshole these days?
Well, I’m not “pops”, so I decided to return the favour.
Passion fruits are colloquially referred to as “may pops” in places that they grow wild like the US southeast.
Maybe you shouldn’t be looking for a fight everywhere.

I feel like if you have grapefruit as a fruit that does not live up to its name then grape should be on the other list.
Have they even seen a dragonfruit? Shit looks and tastes like a delicious dragon
Star fruit = shaped like stars Durian = “duri” means spike
If you’ve only ever had the good awful underripe honeydew they put in fruit trays for catering, then yeah you’d probably think it’s underwhelming. A good, ripe honeydew is my second favorite melon.
How is strawberry not included, it’s a double, neither straw nor berry
Have you ever eaten a passionfruit? You gotta get your fingers in there to get the juices flowing, then you gotta slurp it up with your tongue, licking it clean … passionfruit surpasses it’s name.
Well, orange you glad?
Grapefruit grows bunched up, kinda but not really like grapes.
Passionfruit is named for its flower, which has structures that correspond numerically to the stations of the cross and are thus a reference to the Passion of Christ. In this sense, “Passion” refers to suffering, not love or joy.
So, your saying, for a passionfruit to live up to its name it would have to cause stigmata, right? That’s pretty hardcore.
But how about dem apples? Dem apples are pretty good.
What’s with the honeydew hate? It’s one of the juiciest fruits out three and tastes amazing.
