Why burnt orange

Some TikTokers who have temporarily lost their sense of taste and smell to the virus have made the most of it, filming taste tests and chugging alcohol which still burns, apparently.

Others have tried to get their senses back, and one supposed fix involving a burnt orange and brown sugar has gone viral.

Others weren't so successful. There's no scientific reason why eating a burnt orange would help someone regain their sense of taste or smell, otolaryngologist Jay Piccirillo told Insider.

The TikTok success stories represent a lucky few who may have already been recovering their senses before they tried the hack. COVID anosmia, or loss of smell, is believed to be caused by damage to the structures surrounding the nerves associated with smell, Piccirillo said.

Miss Brown, of Orange, Texas, was the first to come up with the the idea that Texas should have team colors.

As Venable Proctor wrote in a Alcalde article, it was a dour April day in , when Brown stood on the platform at Third and Congress, as the train, waiting to depart for Georgetown, poured smoke into an already overcast sky.

Along with her friends, Clarence Miller and Proctor, Brown was huddled with a group of students from the then-two-year-old University of Texas, as well as their chaperone, Mrs. Legend has it that a UT student claimed he was the only man in Texas capable of throwing a curveball, a recent invention that some claimed was a dirty trick. Fellow students formed a team around him, and put out a call to have a game to test their pitcher.

A group from Southwestern University answered, and invited the Texas team up for the afternoon. The train bell was ringing when Brown realized that the UT backers had no way of identifying themselves. She alerted her fellow students—they had to find something. Miller and Proctor raced a half block up the street to a general store, intent on buying ribbon before the train departed. Before the advent of be-swooshed T-shirts and limited-edition shoes, team apparel was little more than a curl of ribbon pinned to a lapel.

The two students burst into the store and breathlessly explained that they needed two colors of ribbon. The ribbons were on display in Georgetown that day, but the curveball was not, and Texas lost.

But UT had a team, and that team had colors. Sort of. Between and , orange and white was common, but by no means universal. For a brief time, students donned gold and white, inspired by the yellow pressed-brick-and-limestone buildings being constructed around campus the Dorothy L. Gebauer building is a rare example still standing. But in , tired of trying to wrest tough stains from white uniforms, the council swapped it for maroon the Aggies were still wearing red back then.

It was a popular choice with students, and stores began carrying orange and maroon caps, but the old timers were still flying orange and white. In , Texas trotted out its football team in various combinations of gold, white, orange, and maroon. The following year, the Board of Regents stepped in to determine an official set of colors, once and presumably for all.

Students, faculty, and alumni cast 1, votes. Orange and white won out with votes, a seven-vote majority. Orange and maroon received , royal blue , crimson 10, royal blue and crimson 11, with a handful of single-vote-getters.

And so it was. For a while. But we know a bit about how color works, and what it means to people. Humans, therefore, have innate reactions to certain colors, ancestral memories that tell us that, for example, black and yellow—the easiest color contrast to see—means danger. Rose claims that extroverted people like vibrant colors, searching for external stimulation, while introverted people seek calm, cool colors.

Think color-coded gender-reveals for expecting parents, or red-and-blue maps in the news. These meanings are constructed, but powerful. Go for the food.
