Presentations I saw were the usual large oranges; - but that's NOT what was shipped..

[Kachina624]

Yes, I wondered about them when I saw the gorgeous fruit presented on TV.  If you're unhappy, you can request A refund.  How do they taste?  That's the important thing.

Yes, the fruit you receive does not look at all like the perfect fruit you saw during the on air presentation.

Taste.....very good - sweet or better than an ordinary orange

Juicy.....but not the flood like HB - wion't need the bib b/c these are half the size or less

Lots of green on the skin which I heard in the presentation

Easy to peel - box packed so tightly  had to fight to get first one out..

Still a good deal for fresh oranges

I have found many of the food items I have ordered from the Q look very much like they do on TV. Glad yours @fthunt tasted good. I think produce is heavily relied on by weather conditions so it would be difficult to get exactly what is shown.

But, I find commercials and photos of items on a menu look NOTHING like the actual item received.  Now, I do not eat at fast food restaurants, well, mostly never. I remember a couple years back I was with my mom and she ordered some burger from a well known fast food restaurant and she said, "I want that burger and I want it to look exactly like that picture!". I was so embarrassed, and I really shouldn't have been. I believe these commercials with these delicious looking sandwiches rarely look like what you actually get.

Last year I took a picture of the pitiful Wendy's single burger I received and showed it to the manager who had to agree I didn't get what I paid for!

Sam's Club has the Cara Cara Oranges ( 8 lb. ) bag for 8.18....I know they are not the same as Honeybells, but they are so good....

If you see Mineola Tangelos in a store and they look good, buy them Same exact thing as HoneyBells. Just arent paying for the commercial name. I was in the Fruit Gift biz 2004-2007.

@sann - I also bought the Cara Cara oranges from Sam's.  I've had them in the past and they've been delicious, so I picked up a bag, when they arrived in our local Sam's.  They're huge!
