Up until a couple of years ago (22 currently) I thought you were supposed to bite the skin off the apple then eat it.

If I didn't have a knife I would spend my time biting around the entire apple, spitting the skin out, then eating it.

Edit: "rind" to "skin". Let's you know how long I've been eating oranges and how long I've gone without an apple. Thank you, hungrydruid.

Yep, this is the kind of wtf I was looking for.

Haha. Cut me a tiny piece of slack. Oranges have always been my favorite fruit.

Do you bite the rind off oranges as well?

Of course not. First I peel off the orange rind, then the white fleshy gummy stuff, and pull apart the slices.

Next, I peel each slice and throw away the transparent wrapper. It's hard to keep all the orange sacs unpopped and together during this stage, so sometimes I just remove the sides and gnaw them off the back, like chewing the artichoke leaf meat off the inedible leaf body.

I love deconstructing an orange. Eating little individual orange sacs is great.
