    One is an extremely overpriced, difficult to repair piece of crap and the other is a fruit.

    I'd like to walk around in a nightclub while eating an apple, but not an orange as it would be messy. Would be curious to see people's reactions.

    People would find you appealing.

    You can pull a rabbit if you’re talented enough.

    Very funny! What is going on your mind. Apples contain more fiber, but oranges contain more vitamin C.

    Yes there is. The Flying Scotsman steam engine was famously painted LNER "apple green".

    And there was no colour orange until the fruit was discovered. The word orange didn't even exist in the English language.

    Thats why people have "red" hair and robins have "red" breasts. They are orange but there was no word for it at the time.

    The fruit was called an orange before the colour was called orange.

    I don't know any interesting facts about apples. That's the difference.
