1. Other--they get soft too fast.
I can't eat them before they've turned to mush.

2. Interesting, that you mention pesticides.
Edited on Thu Sep-16-04 08:59 AM by TX-RAT
My wifes grandmother had 10 kids, 3 girls, 7 boys. They were all born and raised in Monterrey Mexico. There was a street vendor selling bananas in their neighborhood. She bought a bundle of fruit and took it home. Within 4 hours 3 of her sons were dead and 1 of her daughters was very ill. According to what little reports were available, there was a extremely deadly pesticide on the outside of the bananas. When the kids ate the bananas the chemicals got on their hands and eventually into their system.
What a tragedy.
My mother inlaw will not allow bananas in the house, to this day.

5. I do not enjoy ripe bananas.
I don't like them when they have even a hint of brown spots. I only like pristine yellow bananas with green tops.

8. That our "president" subsists on them?
Has there ever been a photo of Bush eating a banana released?
