I mean, orange was right there…
Engagement bait.
right on. this tweet is like saying “there’s not a single country in africa that starts with the letter K.” there obviously is, but it’s targeting people who are knowledgable enough to know the answer but not intelligent enough to understand the point of the tweet.

But aren’t oranges actually green?
*Not a joke, btw. Oranges grown in tropical places are green.
It might depend on the variety, there are many, many kinds of oranges.
Orange, cherry, blackberry, etc.
I’m pretty sure orange and cherry are named after the fruit, but Blackberry is true.
Pendants will argue that black is not a colour
Redcurrant
Actually, the color is named after the fruit. It wasn’t until the late Middle Ages that we discovered anything other than the redcurrant that was red in color. Poppies, for example, were only discovered in ~1917, and we only found out about blood in the 1970s.
Fuck.
Greengages.
The source for this is old reddit threads, so hardly authoritative, but supposedly the color orange was actually named after the food item.
Blackberries
fruits are kind of a dessert, right? so are brownies.
Green beans are technically fruits
Yellow squash
Greengage?
Red apple, green apple red strawberries, yellow strawberries, red tomatoes, green tomatoes, yellow tomatoes, purple tomatoes (although purple isn’t a real color by itself). Oh and red berries.
You might argue it’s not the fruit’s name, but when you say “honny, can you get me some apples from the store while you’re going there please?” and she comes back with green apples, while you wanted red apples, you’d be like “fuck. I should have named it better, I only asked for half the name of what I wanted, now I need to hit my wife to blame her and hide my mistake”. So my point here is, not naming the color of the fruit in its name is the cause for domestic violence.
I honestly will argue that it’s not their name, but rather a descriptor of the fruit.
Cripps Pink however, is a name of an apple.
I was joking
I know! I even gave you an upvote!
Does green apple count? It feels like an adjective but considering there’s “green apple” flavored candy, I’d consider it a part of the noun.
