There are two ways of eating an orange.

The orange may be cut into quarters and the juicy bit sucked away from the peel with complete disregard for the natural portioning system. This can cause chapped lips and squirted eyes, however.

Far better to hold the orange at arm's length and remove the peel in small pieces. Portions can then be thrown individually into the air and caught in the mouth: this method invariably impresses bystanders.
