Fact

When you turn a speaker upside down, the music doesn't come out upside down.

Apples to oranges

Comparing apples

to oranges

really shouldn't be taboo.
They're actually pretty similar.

Similarities:

Food

Fruit

Roundish

Yummy

Can make juice out of them

Grow on trees

Are picked by people on ladders.

See? They are actually very much alike. I don't know why the expression "that's like comparing comparing apples to oranges" is used when someone talks about putting dissimilar items in the same category.

Instead of simply complaining about a problem in the universe, I will offer several solutions:

"That's like comparing apples

to

airplanes."

or

"That's like comparing apples

to

piles of books."

or

"That's like comparing apples

to

70s rock bands."

or

"That's like comparing apples

to

video game consoles from the 1990s."

There are countless other items that are much more dissimilar from apples than oranges.

Whoever picked oranges as the contrast to apples is a fool.

Five-stars?

I just thought that this was deliciously ironic, and I had to share.
