Apples and Oranges

Everything is just apples and oranges, or is it?

Apples have a varying shape, with a white flesh and a thin edible skin which is usually consumed as part of the fruit and are usually red or green.

Oranges are round, have an orange flesh that is sectioned, a think outer layer, while edible is not very tasty and needs to be removed prior to eating.

Both are used as juice producing fruits, but the apple is more versatile as it is used as the bases for other juices and is fermented into vinegar for a plethora of other uses.

Apples grow in a temperate climate, while oranges prefer a more tropical setting.

An apple a day will keep the doctor away, or so they say. Oranges are high in vitamin C, which is said to fight the common cold, but so does a spoon full of vinegar, so I guess that is a push.

So there I have done it, I have compared the incomparable, the idiom is wrong.
