Why do oranges taste so much better when I'm sick with a cold than when I'm healthy?
When I'm healthy and I have fresh orange, I'll suck out the juice and maybe eat a little of the pulp, as they don't taste as good. But when I'm sick with a cold, I tear into oranges and eat each piece in basically a bite or 2.
