If you're willing to do the work and take the peels back for your compost heap--think orange juice! Make a pitcher first thing and gift to campmates and nieghbors to create that we all know each other and watch out for each other bribe. Make people use their own cups, if you like. Also, I bet that would go over real well in bars for screwdrivers and those things. MissNev might know better if oranges themselves are good in bars.

My fear would be that they don't last and end up squishy crud and that the peels and the SEEDS become trash on the playa.

http://www.burningman.com/whatisburning ... eanup.html
lists orange peels as a cleanup problem in 1999.

http://www.burningman.com/preparation/e ... nment.html
lists orange peels as a problem trash item.

So maybe seeds aren't a bad idea after all.

Any fresh food is a potential gooey mess if it isn't eaten promptly. Food with skin, rind, seeds, and such is a MOOP waiting to happen.

That's more or less why I suggested the juice. That leaves the moop in one person's hands and that person seems aware...
