We're gonna have a little bit of fun with this one! I've carefully curated a list of every orange object I could think of (within reason) and ranked them from worst to best. Enjoy!

  1. Circus Peanuts

Let's get this one out of the way, starting off with the worst ranked thing I could think of. Admittedly, I've never tried these, and likely for good reason.

  1. Golden Poison Frog

Ranges from yellow to deep orange, but for this blog we'll stick with orange. Anyways, one of them can kill up to 10 people. Not a fan. Still less threatening than the Annoying Orange though…

  1. Annoying Orange

Hey, Apple! Apple! Hey! Hey, Apple! Hey, Apple! Hey, Apple! Hey, Apple! Apple, hey! Can you believe 2023 was my 15th season and I'm still annoying as ever?

  1. Swiper the Fox

Swiper, no swiping! No one likes a thief.

  1. Orange Crocs

Wait, these aren't even the collab with Salehe Bembury?? These take me back to before Crocs we're cool.

  1. Tide Pods

Tide Pod Challenge. Enough said.

  1. American Cheese

I'll admit, it's pretty fun to remove these from those little plastic sleeves. But any food product this consistent in color, shape, and texture cannot be good for you. At least they got the name right.

  1. Decaffeinated Coffee Decanter

Points for looking classic in a diner. Minus points for being decaffeinated.

  1. Clown Nudibranch

AKA the Sea Clown. Lil' freak

  1. Cheese Balls

I'd say these are tasty in concept, but that's not even true. Cheese Ball Man might say otherwise.

  1. Sunkist Orange Soda

Great chaser. Great for a kids birthday party. Nothing in between.

  1. Red Crab

A little too red to rank higher on the list. Plus, they pinch.

  1. Duck Walker

A classic, but not as classic as the OG wood ones (those aren't usually orange).

  1. Construction Signs

Catches your eye, but probably doesn't make driving much safer.

  1. Goldfish

Your favorite companion from the hometown fair. Unfortunately, your toilets as well.

  1. Kumquats

These are fun fruits because you eat the peel and all. Sweet on the outside but tart on the inside.

  1. New World Oriole

Never seen one in the wild. Off to Baltimore!

  1. Hose

Orange looks really good on hoses. Simple as that.

  1. Peaches

Peaches are delicious, but considering the color peach is named after this fruit, and this blog is on the color orange, I cannot rank this any higher.

  1. Pumpkin Pie Slice

A seasonal treat. Yum.

  1. Pokey

Your dad's favorite rubber horse, probably. Also Pokey's favorite food is tacos.

  1. Bell Pepper

Healthy, refreshing, and extremely orange. Could be a nice topping for Pokey's tacos.

  1. California Poppies

One simple trick to turn a large California field orange, given it's early Spring and you own a large field in California.

  1. Otto Rocket

Woogity woogity woogity!

  1. Toyota Forklift

Vibrant, safe, practical. What more could you ask for from a forklift?

  1. Apple Watch Ultra

It isn't just "orange", it's International Orange. Not sure what that means? I did a deep dive into it in the blog below.

What makes orange international?

  1. Nemo

Found him!

  1. Orange Gatorade

No athleticism needed to enjoy this orange flavored thirst quencher.

  1. Cantaloupe

With a mysterious textured beige on the exterior, you'd never guess a juicy, sweet, orange fruit lived inside. What a nice surprise!

  1. AER Carry-on

Not an ad. Just a really nice carry-on with a great colorway.

  1. Hobbes

Hobbes, the orange, anthropomorphic tiger that provided wisdom and companionship to Calvin's imaginative adventures.

  1. Film Negatives

Creative potential just waiting to get scanned.

  1. Earplugs

Light, portable, practical, and fantastically orange.

  1. Highlighter

Highlighters are great, but an orange highlighter isn’t particularly special amongst its peers. In fact, one highlighter color is objectively better. Read about it in our blog below!

7 reasons yellow is the best highlighter color

  1. Aperol Spritz

Class in a glass.

  1. Goldfish

Who doesn't love a snack that smiles back?

  1. Orange

Ah yes, the inevitable orange. The fruit that started it all. Too obvious to rank higher, yet too important to discredit. I'd say smack in the middle is a fair compromise.

  1. Corn Snake

I'm good on seeing one in the wild, but that orange is just brilliant.

  1. Safety Vest

Visible, reflective, safe, and lowkey swag with the right fit.

  1. Friends Couch

It was there for them.

  1. A Pint of Blue Moon

Most beer is orange colored (and could get ranked on it's own), but we're all about color here at Hoppn Labs. So why Blue Moon over the others? They get serious bonus points for being brewed and topped with an orange slice.

  1. iPod Nano

Ahh 2008, the good ole' days. Apple has a colorful history when it comes to standing out. Learn more in our blog below

Why Apple chose a rainbow logo

  1. Charizard

The OG badass flying lizard Pokémon. What's not to like?

  1. Sun

Fun fact, the sun is actually white in appearance from space. Due to Earth's atmosphere, and depending on the time of day, the sun can appear yellow, orange, or red. Not that you should be looking.

  1. Garibaldi

The California State fish looking handsome as ever. *glub glub*

  1. Cheez-Its

Top three snacks of all time. Not sure what the other two are, but it's definitely top three.

  1. Basketball

I'm just tryna ball with my bros.

  1. Starfish

Uhhh, I mean sea star.

  1. Monarch Butterfly

Maybe the most elegant insect. And there are a lot of insects out there.

  1. Carrot

Another staple. Vibrant, healthy, versatile. Crunchy, improves vision, could give you a glowing tan. Need I say more?

  1. NASA Astronaut Suit

Objectively cooler than a white space suit.

  1. LEGO Brick Separator

Since orange isn't common in most LEGO sets, they chose this color to stand out among the rest. Useful for separating bricks, tiles, and technic connections.

  1. LaCie Hard Drive

Orange communicating safety makes this a fitting choice for your precious, precious files.

  1. Louis Vuitton x Virgil Abloh Lv Trainer Sneakers

1 of the 6 limited all-orange products from the Vuitton fall 2019 men's collection. Iconic colorway from an iconic designer. RIP Virgil.

  1. The Lorax

Besides his obvious orange presence, The Lorax is an environmentalist who "speaks for the trees," advocating for forest conservation. We need more Lorax's.

  1. Nickelodeon

This one's for the 90's kids.

  1. Fiskars Scissors

Reliable scissors are a necessity. Fiskars orange is a stamp of approval.

  1. Koi Fish

Who doesn't love an ornamental carp?

  1. Nerf Super Soaker

All I'm gonna say is if you catch me with one of these, you better have some backup trousers.

  1. Extension Cable

You don't need one until you do.

  1. Channel Orange

"Orange is a color of liberation, from the pains of hurtful love and inner insecurities. To channel orange is to truly be free, to be you."

-Frank Ocean

  1. Tiger

The king of the jungle deserves a top spot.

  1. Spring Clamp

Whether you're a professional carpenter or a stay-at-home IKEA furniture assembler, these are sure to come in handy.

  1. Oscar Mayer Weinermobile

Genius concept. Flawless execution.

  1. Orange Creamsicle

A very tasty treat. Although I feel like they should make a Creamsicle mobile…

  1. Basketball Hoop Rim

Encrouages play. Accessible. Iconically orange. And perfect for the game of GOOSE. No, not HORSE. But that's for another time.

  1. Fall Leaves

For a few magical weeks of the year, a simple change to the leaves completely transforms the neighborhood. That seasonality makes it all that much more special.

  1. Pumpkin

Another fall staple when it comes to orange objects. Basically the entire vibe of October.

  1. Freshly Squeeze Orange Juice

Emphasis on the freshly squeezed part.

  1. Spongebob Squarepants Pineapple House

Yes, that one pineapple from under the sea.

  1. Hotwheel tracks

Real ones know.

  1. Traffic Cone

They protect. They inform. They're a fun shape. They stack well. You can wear it as a hat. The ultimate orange object, the one and only traffic cone.

Orange you sad it's over?
