I don't know, man. They're not even in the same ballpark. It's a day-and-night difference. It would be like comparing cabbages and carrots.
But they're both vegetables? This makes even less sense.
Very different vegetables though. It'd be like comparing wine and beer.

Not to worry. Comparing apples to mandarines is perfectly legal.
Finally! Someone else who isn't afraid to be the best kind of correct.
If Shakespeare could compare people to summer days then I can compare one type of fruit to another.
Share your analysis.
left fruit is on the left and right fruit is on the right. ergo, something something butt stuff stundays
Fascinating..!?
no that's not where we put the fasc
Oranges are superior to apples.
I hope you choke on an orange rind you asshole!

My friend Jules told me that, in France, the idiom is about comparing apples to pears.
And they call a quarter pounder with cheese a royale with cheese.
A royale with cheese? Why the fuck do they call it that?
They got the metric system over there.
Paaaaaaaaaapyyyyyyyyyuruuuuuuuuusssssssss!!!

I laughed way too hard at this, my wife thinks I'm crazy.

Das ist ja wie Äpfel mit Birnen vergleichen.
Very funny you old joke cookie
Thats no orange
How are they?
Tasty.
It's your funeral.
Wow. I really feel like I am comparing apples to oranges back in ancient Egypt!
Why orinch shiny
Oranges have a thing wax-like outer layer. Apples have it too but its duller.
snookered.
Compare: Both are fruit, both are roughly round, both have stems.
Contrast: The one on the left is redder and less shiny than the on the right. The stem on the right is green and less woody than the one on the left fruit.
Additional research necessary, consider vivisecting the fruits to see how their internals compare and contrast.
There was a puzzle at an online puzzle hunt recently that was about this phrase. It was annoyingly ambiguous due to languages that have more than one phrase.
Apples and oranges are often used as two things that cannot be compared, but there is so much that can be compared between the two. They're both sweet tasting fruits toy can make juice from. They both have tang, at different levels and depending on which strain or what ripeness. The trees they grow on both have leaves, roots, bark...
Hey apple!
Knife.
You lunatic!
Oh shall I compare thee to a summer eve..?
NO! DON'T DO IT!
oranges are better.
I’ll take the easy way out and contrast them instead.
