Reply to your friend that Orange (the fruit) came first before Orange the color and that before that the color we know now as "Orange" was called "Yellow-Red".

Tell him that what he really means is that we should rename "Purple" to "Eggplant".

Then congratulate yourself and your superhighfriend on a TIL.

but grapes can be green too so then we'd have to rename green and purple to grape!

Purple drank.

And in this context purple is indeed a flavour, grape does not do purple drank justice.

I'm more interested in the "7r0ll" "p2P" and "6 m!nz b4". I need to have that setting activated on mine!

Orange is a flavor? It is a fruit and color, yes, but not a flavor. How many times do you hear someone say, "it taste like orange"? I've heard, "it taste like AN orange" but never, "it taste like orange".

Tang doesn't take like AN orange, but it certainly tastes orange.

.oO(Do they still make Tang?)

Purple is the worst flavor of everything.
