> In pre-publicity for Shift, Arnell reveals that his habit of eating up to 50 oranges a day has left his hands bright orange in color.

Bullshit. You'd be in a permanent sugar rush until your pancreas went on fire.


I don't know about Arnell's case, but it's actually possible to turn orange by eating orange things. Although I think it's more common with carrots and young children.

I’ve eaten heaps of young children and I haven’t turned orange. /JK


That’s how flamingos turn pink.

Humans occasionally turn permanently blue by being pranked into eating colloidal silver.


No problem they'll just drink bleach to correct it.


Not even that difficult.

My ex had a few excessive habits when she was 21, but one was eating lots of carrots (like a bag a day?) and her palms turned a distinct orange.


There's no such thing as a "sugar rush".
