The $10 Orange
No joke. This orange is $10. This past Saturday was Lunar New Year, or commonly known as Chinese New Year. As part of tradition, gift boxes of fruit are given. But the fruits are outrageously exepensive. A gift box of 5 oranges are $50. Now these oranges are supposed to be special oranges, they come from a special island in Korea called Jeju island. These oranges are picked specifically for New Year's and only the flawless make the grade. I got to tell you, it's beautiful. I am very interested to see how it tastes so I will make a companion video on youtube with me eating the orange. Yeah it's outrageous but still....

You need to take a large bite out of it, rind and all - as if it were a big, tasty yellow bell pepper.

Or shove it into your face to get to the sweet, sweet innards.

Just like a marriage.
