We'll, we already have one about a banana, so why not?

For me it varies with the season. In the winter I eat about two a week. In the summer, hardly ever.

I eat oranges whenever a tropicana rainstorm comes up from Florida and drops them on the streets of Washington D.C.

Never. I never cared much for citrus & I have GERD(Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) which might be some of why I never liked em & it's probably good I don't sense I should avoid it anyways.

not a big fan of oranges. i can never peel them right (and i have no fingernails), they take forever to peel as well, they are too juicy, never hold together, and make a big mess.

i prefer tangerines.

I'm a big fan of citrus, so I eat them quite often. I actually prefer grapefruit though.

I never have them as I find them too hard to peel, however I do eat tangelos they are easier to peel , they're not as pippy as manderines are and they're much nicer.

Too hard to peel, and the segments are too big to be bite-sized. I prefer Clementines.

I don't eat oranges as often because they are sticky and hard to peel. I do, however, like eating canned mandarin oranges and drinking orange juice.

I can't remember the last time I ate an orange. Maybe it was around Christmas when they sell Clementines. Other than them I only like the really big, seedless oranges, which of course are expensive. I cannot STAND orange seeds! I find orange juice is too bitter and sour on its own, but I'll drink the kind that's mixed with other juices. Sometimes I even add orange juice to Jello instead of water.

I've not had an orange for a while but I used to eat them quite a lot.

I got sick of them squirting in my eyes.

I amk too particular about citrus. I prefer tangelos/minneolas but they have a very short season so I can only get them a few months of the year. When they are in season I eat about 10 a week.

I love citrus. I prefer to drink the juice instead of peeling them and eating them though. I have a hard time peeling oranges and I make a mess of the whole production. When I do get it peeled and into sections I like to peel off the thin membrane (I don't like the texture) and eat only the pulp. I usually only eat oranges when I am alone because there is always someone telling me I am weird because of the way I do it.

I put the peelings in a small pot on the stove half full of water and put a cinnamon stick in the pot also. I simmer the mixture to make my house smell good.

I love oranges. I learned a trick to peel them easier years ago, roll them between your hands (or against the table) firmly to loosen the peel. The hardest part for me is starting them. I take a knife an make a little cut at the stem end and go from there. I've also bitten them to start them but that's extremely yucky.
