when it is a purple,
the mysterious orange was purchased last week by Neti
Moffitt, a resident of Brisbane, (who took the photographs), from a fruit and
vegetable market, She planned to use it as a snack for her two-year-old son and
claims that the fruit looked and smelled normal, it was only after leaving a
piece of it out overnight that she noticed the bright purple coloring spreading
on the orange pulp, after searching online for answers, Moffitt stumbled on a
2015 article that mentioned a similar case, where someone had bought an orange
from a fruit market only to see it turn purple hours after being cut, “It looks like someone’s dipped it on an ink pad, which I
guarantee you we haven’t,” Neti Moffitt told ABC.net.au, “I went rifling through the rubbish bin for the
three bits eaten by my son, and sure enough they were more-so purple than the
ones left out on the bench, My first thought was I hope it has had no ill
effect on my child. But he’s fine, absolutely not a drama.”
the
Brisbane mother called health authorities about her own purple fruit, and sure
enough, scientists showed up at her house to collect the orange pieces as well
as any items that came into contact with them, hoping to finally crack the
mystery, “The gentleman who came to
collect it was very, very excited,” Moffitt said. “He was aware of the case
three years ago, and he’d spoken to the chemist who tested the orange three
years ago and said ‘look, I think we’ve got another one’.” a Queensland
Health spokeswoman confirmed that the samples had been collected and that they
are currently being analyzed, so far, no explanation for the unexplained
ink-like coloring has been released, how strange.
