Finally, a real shower thought instead of a thinly veiled political commentary.
Idk, I think it may be about race, sounds kinda woke to me…
Those
peoplepurple ones are amazing looking.[Leaving that autocorrection in, because it was great lol]
Orange bell peppers be like…
There are some people who constantly see the yellow lights as orange lights for some unknown reason and their partner then immediately pokes fun at them every time they mention the wrong color. For those people the orange bell pepper gets referenced a bunch.
spoiler
I am one of those people :::.
Some unknown reason
Is actively colorblind.
Something something they’re technically “amber” not “yellow”?
I guess we should make the follow cars in front of you light they want to use for smart cars just make the whole light orange
Not sure I’ve seen an orange, white, brown or purple traffic light before!
I’ve only seen red, yellow, and green bell peppers. Maybe orange
Red, orange, yellow and green are all the same varient, but at different ripenesses. The others are different varients.
Mostly just a novelty. Throw in a bit more colour, if available.
Maybe I’m dumb but I sampled all of them raw and orange definitely taste the best.
They definitely have differences in flavor, I had an executive chef that absolutely hated green bell peppers. The “underripe” green bell is much more vegetal than it’s sweeter, ripened red form, which has had more time to develop natural sugars. Like a banana. In fact, peppers and bananas are both technically berries, botanically speaking! Raspberries and strawberries aren’t though? lol
Green: Go ahead and eat it.
Yellow: Caution. Delicious.
Red: Stop not eating them.
Your comment gives serious You Suck At Cooking vibes.
“What, do you think it’s coincidence that ‘sauté’ rhymes with ‘all day’? Because I do.”
Words to live by.

Fun fact: Bell peppers are tasty.
I’ve even seen 3-packs of peppers sold this way, with a green, yellow, and red
Giving me mixed signals
My local grocery store sells them like this, they’re actually labelled as traffic light peppers!
I’ve seen them sold in 3 packs as “traffic light capsicums” with a red, green and yellow one. I would have written the showerthought the other way around though as all traffic light colours (red, amber/yellow, and green) are possible capsicum colours but not all capsicum colours are represented in traffic lights (purple, orange, white etc.)
There’s some South African grocery chains that sold a 3 pack of red, yellow, green bell peppers.
Also, for some reason SA calls traffic lights “robots.” Supposedly, it’s because when traffic cops were replaced by signals, it was a “robotic traffic signal.”
So when you add these two things, you get…

But in reverse!
I don’t like green ones. They taste unripe. No go!
Yellow, meh, better but a bit bitter still. Hol-up!
Red: lessgooo!
So are mangos. (mangoes?)

Are bell peppers in Japan Blue?
They say blue for the green traffic light but they call a lot of things blue that are more green (like plant shoots are called blue)
So are bananas.
