Grapefruit. WTH?

 

    This is mainly the whole reason that I designed this site. Because Jerry Seinfeld imiators do horrible jobs, and i am an imiator. (so i did a Jerry Seinfeld imiaton :P)

Therefor, I ask the question.

Whats the deal with grapefruit?


I mean, grape fruit is fruit. But it isn't a grape. Does it look like a grape to you? Humans compare large ball shaped objects to grapefruits ("do that sit up! pretend that there is a grapefruit under your chin!" or, "Jeeze that model has nice grapefruits!"^^). Grapefruit does not taste at all like grapes. More like a sour orange. So if it was a sour orange, shouldn't be called Orangefruit? But the skin of the orangefruit is yellow... Doesn't that make an Orangefruit a Yellowfruit? But if it has a pink center, shouldn't the Yellowfruit be a Pinkfruit? Or a Yellowfruit?

...

Who thinks of these names anyway?
