Nothing beats that time when Kirk Cameron & Ray Comfort were praising God about the brilliant design of bananas.
I came here to see if someone had already posted this. I wasn’t disappointed.
My lord I remember laughing my ass off at that video years ago haha
The atheist’s nightmare! If they weren’t genetically engineered, that is.
The smarmy arrogant ignorance dripping from that video is both hilarious and enraging.
Self- righteous religious celebrities are awkwardly sexually repressed and their feigned wholesomeness & naivete are nauseating.
Potato and cauliflower are both higher in potassium btw
Potato is a real superfood
Bananas make my tummy hurt.
Bananas and coffee don’t mix, coffee is life so therefore no bananas for me.
Can you elaborate on that?
They give me a weird mouth feel, kinda tingling and burning.
They do that to me as well.
I’m allergic to fruits in the Sapindaceae family too.
Big Banana Energy.
Check mate!

Red bananas are great for oven baked fries too
The taste. I’ve tried to like them. Had them in smoothies and banana bread, had the is savoury and sweet things. I even made myself eat one everyday while hiking cross country, thinking I’d learn to associate the taste which much needed energy. Nothing worked, they just taste like garbage smells. And the texture! Firm and soft each have their unique horrors.
I’m with you! The texture is a horror.
I had a brazillian co-worker that brought in “real bananas” and it was a night and day difference. way more flavour.
“Real bananas”? Aren’t they basically all the same strain of Cavendish?
Idk about Brazil but there’s a lot of banana varieties that are regularly consumed around the world. There’s Lakatan, Saba and Latundan in the Philippines for example, the Saba banana being really popular as a fried snack on a stick.
There are many varieties in the Philippines. They can usually be found in decent Philippino stores in California.
Yeah, but you should see the bananas at the indecent stores!
Hey now!
No. Here in colombia we’ve got dozens of varieties. The problem is they don’t ship well so you can’t generally get them far from where they grow.
I completely agree. I revisit them every year or two to see if my tastes have changed, but I still gag when somebody peels a banana anywhere near me. It’s an automatic involuntary reaction. They are the only food I can think of that give me an immediate gag relfex.
For example, I can be sitting at one end of a train, and I can tell when someone on the opposite side of the train starts eating a banana. I have to put my face in my shirt to stop myself from puking. I wish I liked them, they’re so freaking healthy, but nope can’t do it.
Totally. The smell is awful, ive always associated it with smell of an ripe bag of garbage. I don’t know if it’s because bananas just smell bad, or because the smell of old banana peel in the trash is the scent that I notice the most, but it’s not a good association.
I can’t stand bananas. Taste or texture. I can do artificial banana flavor but anything with real bananas is gross. I wish I liked them because they’re inexpensive and generally nutritious.
We are one minor mutation of a common banana disease away from having to get an entirely new kind of banana, and frankly we are not prepared for that.
bananas are mid anyway, like red apples. nothing of value lost
they dont even have a lot of potassium, you’d have to eat like 70 bananas to get rdv of potassium.
you want rdv potassium (or most any other vitamin) you need to eat fucking vegetables
Two words: banana bread.
any other fruit with a load of sugar made into bread form tastes the same or better than banana bread
Banana pudding. I’ll stab someone over that stuff.
You have to eat approximately 10 bananas for rdv of potassium.
rdv for potassium is 4500mg. A banana contains approximately 420-550mg of potassium.
While 70 bananas is probably not going to kill you, ld50 for potassium is 2500mg/kg, that much potassium can exacerbate some heart problems.
I have some bad news about bananas. The current strain we use as food is going extinct as the banana trees are ill and dying out. Luckily we’re already changing a different strain to be ready for consumption (making them bigger and without seeds because yes, wild bananas are full of seeds).
Also cocoa plants are ill and dying and we don’t have a different strain. So some time in the future we will be without chocolate.

Nearly no one got your reference :D
Not when you haven’t got a complete moron at the helm slapping tariffs on everything he can think of. Here’s an example from a first world country (78p if you cba to click): https://groceries.morrisons.com/products/fyffes-bananas/115455355
I think the comment you’re replying to was a reference to The Office, a la “It’s one banana, what could it cost, $10?”
This is Arrested Development erasure.
As much as I’d love to respond with a troll face and pretend that was purposeful ragebait, I’m not gonna lie - having watched neither, I legit thought it was The Office lmao. Thanks for the correction =]
I mean the queerphobia, ableism and racism in Arrested Development is off the charts, and a lot if not all of the cultural references no longer hold up, so I wouldn’t recommend it. The office, well, it’s not great but it’s not as bad if you need some slop to play in the background.
Good to know, I will continue with my plan to not watch it, thanks lol
How dare.
There’s always bananas in the money stand.
Sounds like you need to go see a star war
I mean, they should, but because of what amounts to basically slave labor, they don’t cost near that much in the US. That’s the big evil of bananas these days. I love them, but I don’t buy them.
I pay 1€ for a french banana in mainland France
they grow bananas in France? that’s bananas!
Yup, french
coloniesislands
these days
No, this is always been the case with bananas. There’s a reason why we have the term banana republic. Literally every banana ever bought by an American has been drenched in blood.
There are more involved videos on the subject but this is the shortest and most concise that I could find.
At least it’s tasty blood?
Idk, I’m trying to find the silver lining here.
The sort of silver lining here is that America is finally getting a taste of our own medicine.
That is to say, Russia interfering with our elections in order to install a president more friendly to their interests. And then that President going hog wild fascist and veritably wrecking our constitutional government in order to service his own desires for power.
i feel like a long one could be a decent toilet unblocker
Bad thing: banana Republic. Other than that… 100% legit.
When they’re still a bit green they taste rank.
I have a buddy who likes them so green they are nearly crunchy
Some people find the smell very strong. Something to do with receptors idk? I know someone with a banana allergy who can immediately tell if he’s entered a room with bananas in it from smell alone, even if they’re not peeled.
What do you mean zero cleanup? Now I have to carry around a banana peel all day. All hail apples (yes, I eat the core).
