I finally got the chance to do this recently. It's true, it really takes the stress out of eating an orange. You get those bits under your fingernails and juice running down your chin and arms and it doesn't matter because you can scrub it all off immediately.

The ONLY downside is not knowing where to put the peel if you've gone for a mandarin orange. Or forgetting to dispose of the skin after your shower so your roommates find it and ask you questions. Although once you explain the concept of a shower orange they usually are very accepting. We live in a very tolerant era for shower oranges, all things considered.
