Mandarin Oranges

Mandarin oranges are underrated.

They are popular in the canned-fruit section of the supermarket, but nowhere else.

Why is nothing else mandarin orange flavored?

No popsicles.
No yogurt.
No candy.
No drinks.

I suppose they don’t need to sell juice with the flavor of mandarin oranges, because everyone drinks the syrup that comes with the fruit. The syrup was great, and the new stuff – the fruit juice that they use instead of sugary syrup – tastes just as great. But it’s inconvenient and dangerous to drink from a tin can.

If I were ever to start selling energy drinks – or any sort of drink at all – my first flavor would be mandarin orange.

My second flavor would be cantonese orange.

Moab has been at ease since his youth; He has also been undisturbed, like wine on its dregs, And he has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, Nor has he gone into exile. Therefore he retains his flavor, And his aroma has not changed.
