An Orange Inside Of An Apple

It might've happened in a lab and the accompaning story is the hoax. Genetic scientists can do a lot of things.

someone could randomly put an orange seed inside the apple when it was small...remember about the fruit salad trees. I know apples and oranges aren't all that closely related, if at all, but the apple has a lot of water in it, and plants don't always grow in soil.

But an orange seed would grow an orange tree, not a single peeled orange.

Thephrog, if someone put an orange seed in an apple and it grew, it wouldn't grow an orange, it would grow an orange tree. When you plant an orange seed in the ground, what grows out of it?

Think before you post.

What if it was an orange that mutated to resemble an apple?

Although the thing inside is shaped like an orange, it isn't very orange-colored. I'd like to know if its flesh is like an orange, or if it just happens to be a mutated apple core which resembles an orange on the outside.

It looks a lot to me like someone scooped out the inside of an apple, placed a peeled orange in the cavity and took a picture of it making up this story. I don't believe it for a second. It's ridiculous. 😕

The whole thing looks faked. I agree with Glamcat.

(red faced and sheepish) sorry, wasn't thinking clearly. duh. just trying to play devil's advocate, which i do sometimes.

It's either been faked, or it's not an orange at all. Has anyone tasted it? It might be part of the apply...just malformed. The only thing that causes it to look like an orange is the sectioning of it.

There are no bites taken out of the apple. How did the guy figure this out w/o biting it. Sure, he could have cut it, but why would he have stopped at the halfway point & then cut around it the way you would cut around a fruit with a pod instead of tiny seeds. (As in, he sort of cut it like you'd cut an avacado...)

Good point Maegan. Who the hell cuts an apple like that?! That reinforces my original theory of it being totally faked.
Thank you.
:coolhmm:

Penn and Teller described how to fake putting an apple inside an orange in HOW TO PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD. I assume someone decided one-up them with a reversal.

Take a gander at the citron fruit. Considered the first citrus fruit (all others were breed from it), it has a very, very thick pith (the white part).

My $.02

maybe it is a very thin orange skin so it looks like an apple but it isn't and they just passed it of like one

It's very clearly an orange with an unusually thick skin. The so-called apple is the orange skin. Hoax.

I think the terrorists must have planted the orange inside the apple

Bizarrely enough, a friend of mine just had a similar experience. He bit into an apple with a strange consistency that easily split with a straight line without cutting it and when he twisted it in half it had a weird shape in the middle. It wasn't quite as orange shaped as this, but apart from that it looks remarkably similar. I took a photo but I don't know how to attach it to this message.

Based on this evidence, I would guess that the "orange in the apple" is a deformity of the apple.

i remember reading this in the newspaper....
maybe there was an orange seed put inside a newly growing apple....but i fink this is real

its very good projected.

Everyone commenting about an orange seed inside an apple does not understand much about seed germination.

For one. The chemicals in the apple would inhibit any orange seed from germinating otherwise what would prevent apple seeds from growing and germinating within their own fruiting bodies.

If a pre-germinated orange seed were placed it would take years for a mature tree to grow large enough to produce an orange let alone the near impossibility of an orange flower being germinated while entirely isolated within an apple.

The only likely possibility is a chimera where orange tissue from a graft somehow produced a part apple and part orange flower. Even at this rate it is even more unlikely that the flower would produce a portion of each fruit let alone an entire fruit within the other.

It is possible to have an apple within an apple. Flowers could grow close enough to each other where a fruit could engulf another or a mutated flower or even a flower that was damaged or split by an insect or virus but somehow managed to accept pollination.

Every one who thinks an orange seed could germ within an apple to produce another orange needs to go back to elementary school. Really!
