Man regrets planting orange fruits
The man, identified as @achor_szn on X, shared his story, which quickly gained attention online.
He had purchased the plant from a commercial seller during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020, with the intention of planting it and enjoying lots of oranges in the years to come.
However, his excitement turned to disappointment when he finally harvested the fruit from the plant.
To his utter disappointment, the fruit bore little resemblance to oranges, leaving him feeling deceived and let down.
In his words:
"So in 2020 during lockdown (COVID 19), I went and bought an "orange fruit" from a commercial fruit plants seller. I planted the so acclaimed "Orange fruit" with the thought that in few years to come, I can start harvesting oranges. Fast-forward to today, the acclaimed "orange fruit" I bought and planted has grown, and the fruit it bore is nothing close to an orange."
