me: “Not to be rude or anything, but I generally prefer the Granny Smith apple to the McIntosh.”
apple:
me: “The McIntosh just isn’t, I dunno… crunchy enough for me.”
apple:
me: “Not that the McIntosh is a bad-tasting apple or anything. Just that, well, I like the Granny Smith a little bit better, you know?”
apple:
me: “Because of the tartness…”
apple:
me: “And that crunchiness factor we talked about.”
apple:
me:
apple:
me: “Just so you know.”
apple: “Are you still here?”

apple: “Go away, you’re starting to piss me off.”

apple: “Gee, how long you been saving that one up?”
me: “Applesaucy, aren’t I?”

Now that you mention it, I’ve had a few similar conversations with brussel sprouts. Which aren’t very sprout-like, if you ask me.
And yes, I told them as much.
Didn’t anyone ever teach you about comparing apples to apples?
