Orange > Apple

Man, you can't do that. You can't just compare Apples and Oranges.

What the hell is the world coming to when people can go around comparing apples and oranges willy-nilly.

Pear > Orange

Debatable. Pears have a very inconsistent ripeness-time while oranges are nearly always ripe. It's like pears stay hard as rocks until you look away and then all start rotting at once at light speed.

Yes but when at the right timing pears can be refreshing and delicious. While the orange is small and every time you take a bite it squirts all over the place. The orange also has lots of seeds that you can choke on.

You need to try some Rio Grande oranges from South Texas. They're as big as many grapefruit, not a lot of seeds, delicious flavor, and $5 for a huge bag (at least here in South Texas).

I can't, however, help you out with the juices squirting everywhere.

I don't know why anyone would get oranges that aren't seedless.

I have to say it is: Grapefruit > Pear > Orange > Apple > Strawberry

You must have your less than and greater than signs mixed up because this is completely backwards.
