Orange Memes

The chicken-or-egg paradox just got juicy! Turns out the fruit actually came first - "orange" was a fruit long before it was a color. Before the 1500s, English speakers called the color "yellow-red" or "red-yellow." It wasn't until merchants brought these exotic citrus fruits to Europe that people started saying "hey, that thing is the color of an orange!" Mind = blown. Next up: figuring out if a banana is yellow because bananas are yellow or... wait, no, that one's pretty clear. 🍊
