If you feel sad, eat an orange 🍊
Have a shower orange.
Put orange in fridge to make it cool. Take orange to shower. Observe orange and realize you can eat it as messy and feral as you want. Go full lycanthrope on the orange. Shower off the juice. Go back to being an animal pretending to blend into a society, but now, you know better.
I suggest using a drain filter, then you can just spit out any seeds and just drop the bitter stringy parts.
Those are bitter?? TIL
Aren’t they the same substance used in the white part of the peel below the delicious zest? Though I might be thinking about clementines and the white stringy bits that run from top to bottom along the centre. Been a while since I had a proper orange but don’t they have even more of that white stuff?
I think the membrane that surrounds the little juice packets is also bitter, if you separate it from the good parts.
