Fun fact: orange (the color) is named after orange (the fruit) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_(colour)#Etymology
- Colours that live up to their name.
  
  Names that live up to their fruit.
- What color would you like this wall??
  Ooh the color of an orange please.
  Sure thing, it's really where there isn't a word for that color, isn't it?
- Or passion fruit... Them shits are delicious.
  
  My experience with passion fruit is that they tend to shove it in every single mixed fruit juice, and what it does, is give those juices just a bitter aftertaste.
  
  But it doesn't make me suffer so how does it live up to its name??
Bananas definitely live up to their name. Very banana.
- As a banana I can confirm, I'm very banana
Fruits that exceed the expectations of their name:
Pineapple
Kiwifruit/Chinese gooseberry
Gooseberry
Strawberry
Raspberry
Uglifruit
- Car-rot
  
  The nightmare of every car enthusiast
I feel like if you have grapefruit as a fruit that does not live up to its name then grape should be on the other list.
Star fruit = shaped like stars Durian = "duri" means spike
Have they even seen a dragonfruit? Shit looks and tastes like a delicious dragon
If you've only ever had the good awful underripe honeydew they put in fruit trays for catering, then yeah you'd probably think it's underwhelming. A good, ripe honeydew is my second favorite melon.
How is strawberry not included, it's a double, neither straw nor berry
Have you ever eaten a passionfruit? You gotta get your fingers in there to get the juices flowing, then you gotta slurp it up with your tongue, licking it clean .. passionfruit surpasses it's name.
Well, orange you glad?
Grapefruit grows bunched up, kinda but not really like grapes.
Passionfruit is named for its flower, which has structures that correspond numerically to the stations of the cross and are thus a reference to the Passion of Christ. In this sense, "Passion" refers to suffering, not love or joy.
- So, your saying, for a passionfruit to live up to its name it would have to cause stigmata, right? That's pretty hardcore.
But how about dem apples? Dem apples are pretty good.
What's with the honeydew hate? It's one of the juiciest fruits out three and tastes amazing.
I think technically the name lives up to the fruit, didn't the fruit come before the colour? Or am I thinking of mandarin?
Fruits that sometimes live up to their name: pear
Someone's never tried to fuck a passionfruit
yuo better take passion fruit off that list if u know what’s good for you
Lemon
