You guys are hilarious. But OP got a point there. From now on I would say it's like comparing iPhone to Android.

The same molecule gives oranges and lemons their different smells. Although the chemical constituents are identical in both species, they are actually a mirror image of the other (i.e. they are optical isomers, or 'achiral').
 
 
 



All this in depth scientific analysis of food is turning me off my meals. ~ It smells okay, texture seems quite real and it looks good enough.... but awwww man

Well if my memory serves, comparing To may be used to show points of difference, whereas comparing WITH affirms a similarity (write it right- Ambrose "bitter" Bierce).
 
But in this modern age anything goes and an apple and an orange- it's just a pear of fruit right?
