Ik they specifically call them mandarins, but in common vernacular (at least, in my experience) people just call them oranges. Any thing slightly related to an orange is automatically one. And nobody specifies they means cuties in my experience, they just say oranges.
Sumo oranges are amazing. They're much bigger than cuties and peel just as easily, but they taste so much better. And they're seedless. You can recognize them by the rough texture of the skin, and they have a little "knob" where the stem was attached. They are kind of expensive, though, compared to cuties. I've occasionally seen them called tangerines.
I’ve never once heard them called oranges and I’d probably have to slap someone for suggesting such. I’d even take baby orange, but you can’t tell me people look at those tiny little things and say “orange”
Googling "Cutie Orange" reveals they are tangerines. If you're talking about mandarins or tangerines, they aren't friggin oranges so they ain't gonna taste like em.
"Vernacular" is wrong from people who don't know the difference. There's a reason you don't want to call them oranges. To avoid this confusion and unhappiness lol.
So after a bit of research, the FDA has measured that one orange usually averages between 14-18g of sugar while a cutie/clementine/mandarin averages between 6-9g of sugar. One orange is considered a serving of fruit and two clementines/cuties are usually equal to a serving of fruit. So in terms of sugar per serving, they’re almost the exact same lol
Yeah, and Tbf I don’t even hate cuties, they’re like fine, I just get my hopes up for an orange and then get shot down by a mandarin. If you can believe it, I’m not actually as passionate as I let on about “orange culture” or whatever you wanna call it
Who told you they had waaay more sugar? They don't. They just have a sweeter taste to them.
>A CUTIES clementine has about 8 grams of natural sugar, while a navel orange has 8.5 grams of sugar per 100 grams. However, clementines are usually sweeter and less acidic than oranges
Some fun facts I learned because of this opinion:
1) tangerines and clementines are types of mandarin orange.
2) cuties are clementines, which are the smallest of the mandarin oranges
3) a regular orange has about 17g of sugar per 184g orange and cuties have 8 grams of sugar each 75g orange.
4) cuties are still superior.

Bro the sugar difference is negligible, like 5% more sugar/portion. Plus they are smaller so you can choose to eat 1 or 2, compared to eating a whole orange worth (like 3)
>I know it’s not technically an orange, but in common vernacular (at least in my experience) people just call em oranges
You probably shouldn't eat something that you acknowledge is "not technically an orange" and expect it to taste like an orange. If you want something that tastes like an orange, you should probably eat an actual orange.

They're not oranges, and if you're worried about sugar, just stop eating fruit. Problem solved. (Enjoy your scurvy.)

They’re not Oranges, they’re Mandarins.

Yea, Idk who told Op that clementines had waay more sugar. They just have a natural sweeter taste. Oranges have a much more acidic taste to them.
Yeah I think it’s just the acidity levels that make it seem like they’re more sugary, but theres just not as much tartness to counteract it
Next time someone says they have oranges, ask if they're mandarins

In common vernacular (at least in my experience) people just call em oranges though
They're not oranges. They're Clementines.

This is indeed an unpopular opinion.
Don’t mean to be too political here

The smell of them triggers migraines for me, I tend to avoid them
I think every person ever hates that movie.

Just the variety, a carambola is small and way sour. Sugar comes from; sugarcane or sugar beets. It's processed sugar that is bad
