How to tell if oranges are bad?

[Meractik]

The orange looks okay its a nice deep orange color but when peeling it its all mushy and not firm (I thought it was because it was not in the fridge for the past 3 hours *i brought them from home to work..*) does this mean its bad?

Yup, but you can still eat it. Aren't questions like this just common sense?

i dunno it was pretty sour, like i never ate an orange that was so sour. lol, naturally ive never really ate one that wasn't refridgerated either, is this why its sour because it wasn't in the fridge and it getting room temp kinda amplifies the taste?

its funny they where all in the same little bag so they all came at the same time... and for some reason this one orange was way sour and all the others so far are fine.. it was mushy too :/ oh well.

there are 2 ways an orange can go bad (short term).

1 mold growing on it, this wasn't what you had it sounds like.

2 it can ferment, this could have happened.

so if you get a bit tipsy, it might be from the orange.
