Pips in mandarins are a failure on nature's behalf. There you are chewing through citrusy sweetness when BAM! A thousand tastless hard teeth suddenly interrupt the experience. FAIL.
And of course, there is the Murphy's Law of mandarin eating. While eating more than one mandarin, the last one you eat will be full of pips. If eating a mandarin with another person, your mandarin will be full of them while the other eater sits smugly back talking about the seedless mandarin revolution, and how glad they are to be alive in such a golden age. This person is not your friend. Spit pips at them.

It might be okay if mandarin pips tasted more like mandarins, instead of like Satan's discarded acidic molars.
Or if they tasted like cheese.
Or Clive Owen.
I had a friend who was allergic to mandarins at school. I used to take my mandarin peel and squeeze its acid into his eye (this was quite an art, as he wore glasses).
