Florida Oranges...

Airdate:
October 25 1984
At the Cheers Halloween party Cliff comes from the back room explaining his latest insight to one of the bar patrons.

Cliff just returned from a Florida vacation an this is the first of many interesting facts about Florida.


There are many theories as to why the Florida orange is far superior to it's California counterpart. I personally think it's the trace mineral elements in the Floridian water. That's obviously due to the frequency of typhoons in the nitrogen rich alligator guano. Furthermore, there's three points...
(Bar patron: "Say, I just remembered I left my oven on, if I hurry I can stick my head in it")


The truth:

Although typhoons and hurricanes are basically the same thing, tropical cyclones, they are only called typhoons when they occur in the western Pacific or Indian oceans. When they occur in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea or eastern regions of the Pacific Ocean they are called hurricanes.

Even though guano is rich in nitrogen, we are pretty sure alligators do not produce it. Here is the definition of guano, you decide:

  • A substance composed chiefly of the dung of sea birds or bats, accumulated along certain coastal areas or in caves and used as fertilizer.
  • Any of various similar substances, such as a fertilizer prepared from ground fish parts.
