  I would just assume that through osmosis those bananas ate salty as fuck, plus I have seen the size of the fucking spiders on some of those bananas being shipped here, no fuck you

    The tarantulas have usually abandoned the bananas by the time we eat the bananas.

      So you’re saving buying a big load of bananas isn’t a good way to get a new cuddly spider friend? :(

        When I was younger, sometimes as I’m tearing a banana from the bundle I’d picture the tarantulas that might’ve been crawling all over it, and I wondered if I was touching the same spot a hairy tarantula leg had been. I didn’t like having those thoughts. So I try not to have those thoughts anymore.

      Oh fuck it’s that where tarantulas come from? Bugs are so confusing

    True to the spirit of journalistic inquiry, your correspondent can attest that seawater has not degraded the taste of the bananas, with the only threats to health posed by skin slippage and by eating too many of them.

    Im sure they come clean if you wash them vigorously by hand.

    I assume the spiders would have died, and now you have delicious, brined cooking bananas!

  Wonder what all that banana skin soaked up.

    Ocean water that everyone swims in perfectly fine

      That delicious plastic and sewage and population. It does a body good.

    I don’t want to eat the skin

    • aceshigh@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      You won’t have to, the edible part of the banana will absorb the skins content.

  Weird, right? On the one hand - we dont eat banana peels. So, it must be fine, right? But on the other hand, I’d also hesitate to eat a snickers bar washed up on the shore.

    I mean if you opened the package and it was dry tho?

    source
• CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  Definitely peel it first.

  source

  • False@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Would you eat a banana out of the toilet, as long as you peeled it first?

    source

    • CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Yes, without hesitation, although I’d want to rinse it first to avoid cross-contamination.

      Banana picking and shipping as it usually happens isn’t exactly sterile, either. This is also why you should wash anything you don’t peel.
