Oranges are often painted to be orange all over, instead of the natural mottled green-orange. But that's just the surface. I confess I don't quite see how you could evenly dye the flesh of an entire fruit... much less millions of small individual ones.

I remember a New Yorker article about a plant in Brooklyn maybe? where I seem to remember they made maraschino cherries for years and there was some big complicated business involving red dyes and water supplies, I think bees may have gotten involved. It was an old family business and a lot of stuff got really crazy, and it was all about red syrup. [/quote]

I am pretty sure some tomatoes are also sprayed with something that makes them appear that ripe, red color before they are actually ripe. [/quote]
