Warning: Grapefruit can interact with drugs, such as decreasing the effectiveness of estradiol, making Oxycodone last longer, increasing blood levels when on Viagra, and much more.
Grapefruit inhibits multiple enzymes in the small intestine, most notably CYP3A4. CYP3A4 is involved in the breaking down of a lot of drugs, so when it's inhibited Oxycodone becomes inactive slower, and estradiol won't break down all the way into estrogen. Drugs that are affected by grapefruit will often have warnings on their packaging
Personally, I like putting just a little bit of salt on my grapefruit, to counteract the bitter flavor. Dumping sugar on it doesn't help. Grapefruits are about half as sour as lemons, since they have half the citric acid content.
Grapefruits were accidentally created as a cross between the sweet orange and the pomelo, in Barbados. Those fruits originate from Asia, but were brought to the Caribbean in the 17th century. Since it's parent fruits are native to Asia, it grows well in Asia too.
and
(China and Vietnam) are the two largest producers of Grapefruits, producing collectively 6.3 million tons out of the 9.8 million tons of worldwide production.

The lemon things with all of the recipes was really cool, but to be honest I just like grapefruit raw, cut in half and ate with a spoon.

the lyrics for youtopia by bmth feel so eggy, even though I'm sure it wasn't meant that way
full lyrics
There's a place I wanna take youBut I'm not quite there myself yet
(Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
I'm getting better, but there's still days
Where I wish that I was someone else
But I know
There is a home, somewhere
Beyond my bones
And I'm just too terrified
To dive inside
Soul like a cemetery
Hard to ignore, we're sick to the core
A world's been buried
Where love is the law, a youtopia
(Scream)
Golden raspberry
For the performance in your head
(Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
Stop pushing daisies
No one wants flowers when they're dead
Soul like a cemetery
Hard to ignore, we're sick to the core
A world's been buried
Where love is the law, a youtopia
(There is a home)
There is a home, ah
(Beyond our bones)
Beyond our bones
Let's connect to the divine
It's okay to cry, yeah
Soul like a cemetery
Hard to ignore, we're sick to the core
A world's been buried
Where love is the law
A youtopia (there's a place I wanna take you)
A youtopia (there's a place I wanna take you)
A youtopia (there's a place I wanna take you)
Where love is the law, a youtopia
What was it like?
It's like I walked into a dream
And stepped out of the coma
feel this way about a few smashing pumpkins songs
