There's a few orange ball shaped fruits. Some seem perfectly round and others seem like they've been squashed and flattened. Some you cut with a knife, and with others, you peel the peel and eat the small segments.
There's oranges, and tangerines, and then you have satsumas and clementines. (Theres probably more that exist but i haven't heard of them). I've always wanted to know what the difference is between them and what makes each one special. Why is a tangerine a tangerine and not a satsuma or clementine?

I consider orange in a different category from satsumas/clementines/tangerines.
First category I am not a big fan of.
Second I like. and I use the names interchangeably.

I asked my dad to get orange juice and he came home with clementine juice. I could taste the difference.
I usually use the names interchangeably too

hmm... balls copied oranges. oranges arent ball shaped. balls are orange shaped.
Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?
So, clementines are big and juicy and do not taste like oranges and satsumas are not big and juicy. I'm beginning to wonder whether i actually know what i eat, but i suppose i'm not the only one since the rest of you give either of the four names to anything which is orange and ball shaped. Well whichever of the orange balls is sour, i like them, i don't like the sweet versions.
'The tangelo, Citrus × tangelo, is a citrus fruit hybrid of tangerine and pomelo or grapefruit. Sometimes referred to as honeybells, tangelos are the size of an adult fist, have a tangerine taste, and are juicy at the expense of flesh.' Wikipedia
