Proof that you should always wash fruit and veg before eating it.

Oh lol.
I used to have a Japanese Seventeen Magazine that had a Dole ad with that guy... just... staring at you. Judging you for not eating bananas.

He had every right to. The nerve of you; not eating banana.

I'm eating a banana as I'm writing this.

It's true. I really am.
Those were my two cents.

I recently did start eating bananas more often. Especially after it started giving me a physically noticeable energy boost!

And now I can relate to the people practically mauling this banana spokesman on the street for this delicious, fruity treat!

Oh, and guys? Next time you see a woman crying on a bench in a park...just throw some bananas on her lap...and you're in!

Weird, me too.

Bananas are an amazing food. I don't know if I would eat them out of that guy's nose, but...I might. I like them an awful lot.

You know what else bananas are?

A nightmare.

Nightmare for atheists.

Haha! How nice of god to custom-make bananas for us!

I don't know what the heck he was thinking when he made pomegranates, pineapples, kiwis, and so on, but at least we've got bananas.
Another reason they're awesome: bananas are god's chosen fruit!

Actually, that is God's chosen fruit.



This is how wild bananas look like. The ones we eat are a result of selective breeding. Another fun fact is that all plantation banana trees are naturally sterile and are derived of the same original banana tree that produced the first modern banana. More trees are made by cutting of pieces of an older tree and planting them. As a result, all plantation banana trees are clones of the original one. This makes them incredibly susceptible to diseases and allot banana farmers are deadly afraid of the possibility of a disease that could quickly spread across the globe, attacking banana trees and destroy the entire global production of the yellow fruit.

Those were my two cents.

Those things don't look eatable.
I'm... assuming the white and black cellular looking things are seeds? @________@

They are what nightmares are made of.

Go to Hawai'i and you'll see over two dozen varieties of banana that aren't yellow or whatever and that aren't sterile and still taste good to people who like such things. Don't worry in tropical areas there is enough genetic diversity to keep it going. They kept trying to shove it down my throat when I was there and I hate bananas. :mad:

Blame it on Dole who used to own most of the Hawaiian islands.

Didn't mean to say that bananas would become a thing of the past, the moment one of the fruit bearing trees would catch a cold. However, the global banana consumer market would be hard hit in these cases. There was a banana disease in the 50s that destroyed the entire banana production in North/South America, for example and made the "Big Mike" variety that was popular at the time almost extinct. The one we eat today is the "Cavendish" variety.
Those were my two cents.

I for one, am glad I live in a world bearing such a delicious fruit which is not only good for me, but sounds funny just saying.

Banana.

Just say it fast repeatedly. It's fun. Banananannana

ironic humor, while secretly praying for a miracle."
