Ain't it obvious? On the seventh day, Dog saw that it was good, and he rested. Bacon and eggs, and orange juice!

@McGentrix,
Orange seeds come from oranges ... or from Monsanto.

If I had my druthers
I'd like to remind all mothers
They say there's no rhyme for orange
But you just need to be more ing-
enious than others.

But you said oranges come from seeds. Was there a magic orange that popped up from non-existence and sprung forth seeds? Is that what you are suggesting?

Some kind of miracle orange?

I would draw a distinction between the epistemological and the ontological imperatives implicit in this "truth" about what works as a contextual predictor and the brave if not somewhat brazen "thingingness" of the concept of "orange" which remains ineluctably within the realm of experience and speculation.

@roger,
You're on report for mistaken identity.

Orange juice is irreducibly concentrated as anyone with proper IC'er credentials will attest.

@Region Philbis,
My wife served some orange today for a snack. They were just above average.

@cicerone imposter,
I had some peaches a couple of days. Average was only a distant hope.

@tsarstepan,
The fruit came before the colour, prior to that orange was a shade of red, which is why we have red, not orange, robins.

@izzythepush,
They're still called "red robins."
