Contrary to common claims, a peach is in fact a citrus.

It is said that characteristics of citrus fruits is that they are sour, and that they have many seeds, rather than just one, and that they are divided into segments, and that somehow this prohibits the peach from qualifying as a citrus. However, think about this: Oranges, grapefruits, lemons, etc. do not sell as well and are not as popular as peaches. Thus, it stands to reason that they would be prejudiced against the common peach and try to invent excuses to keep it from getting into the roster. This is not at all a scientific motivation; rather it is clearly part of a conspiracy against peaches.

We know that the peach is a citrus fruit because it is juicy. As my good friends the Yeti, Bigfoot, and the Loch Ness Monster can attest, "Cit" is the ancient Atlantean word for "water", and "rus" means "full of". Thus, "citrus" means "full of water".

We see this is accurate because neither apples nor bananas are citrus fruits, and they aren't full of water. Peaches, like oranges and watermelons, are both.

Hence, yes, the peach clearly is a citrus fruit.

(P.S.: None of this, except for the description of citrus fruit characteristics, is true.)

Just in case there's any confusion, I was just kidding around. ;)

The bits about fruits being prejudiced, the conspiracy, mythical creatures, and "citrus" being an Atlantis word for "full of water" were intended to kind of tip people off. ;)

I'm guessing this isn't for serious discussion since the original post said to "just be silly about it" so I moved it to the cellars.

No worries, we all make mistakes!

By the way, I don't think peaches are a citrus.
