I never understood the idiom "apples and oranges"
Both are fruits, both are round, both are high in vitamin C and antioxidants, both can be sour or sweet, and both have seeds. So in essence, wouldn't comparing "apples and oranges" mean that you're comparing two similar subjects deeming the comparison "valid"
The phrase instead should be comparing "apples and a chevy pickup" or "apples and a toothbrush" or something along those lines.
