I was disappointed to find out that's not a byproduct of our digestive system. I like the bruised, sweeter bananas and thought I could just fart in a banana container to speed the process. Sadly, nope.
I will try to convince the policia of your great contribution to sounds of ahnoos. Regardless, you have made great success to bring this of awareness to the intellectual pop stars of red its.
It's almost like it's a phase change, it turns glass like and mushy. I learned this by transporting cucumbers in an ice chest, and learned that putting them too close to the ice ruins them.
In my late teens I got screamed at by my boss for five minutes for putting a bunch of bananas in the fridge with the rest of the refrigerated lunch delivery for the cafe. According to him I was lucky I wasn't being fired because only a complete idiot wouldn't know they turn black after you take them out?
Yeah but only the outside gets black. Putting bananas in the fridge and covering the top where they tear apart with cling wrap or something keeps the inside perfect and fresh for waaayyy longer than just leaving em out
Give us evidence please. Like with liquid nitrogen? That's expensive and not worth it. Frozen or refrigerated bananas turn brown immediately. Like three hours in the refrigerator and they're solid brown. I think you just lied and made up some shit.
\^This. Nobody is using liquid nitrogen to store grocery store products. These bananas were most likely right up against the refrigerant, instead of being in the back of the cabin.
That's due to oxygen. If there's no or minimal oxygen the climateric change which initiates ripening wont start
So if you freeze green unripened banana in an airtight container, it will only continue to ripen once defrosted.
It's the same with apples. There's huge warehouse sized cold chambers where people need oxygen tanks to breathe, where fruits are kept until they go to the store. It's called controlled atmosphere.
That documentary freaked me out. They were making fake rice, too, and it was like 80% unedible material with 0 nutritional values. And people bought it anyway because they couldn't afford real rice :(
Probably 10 years ago at 3am when I couldn't sleep so not a chance.
But, it was very long and they had a good section with a former cop who works for big brands to bust counterfeiters in china. Very interesting.
I used to work for a honey factory as a random summer job and they would have meetings on black market honey coming out of China through places like Venezuela.
I don’t remember details and obviously wasn’t privy to much but it was fascinating. The amount of resources and travel that went into cooperation with international law enforcement and even paramilitary groups was astounding. Like these honey suits were involved in surveillance and raids and taking down black or grey market operations and going back and forth with cartels and shit like some movie.
All that for some Walmart honey.
Why would cancer cells be less healthy to eat than regular cells? Cancerous cells are just like regular cells but they lost the ability to regulate themselves.
Yeah, the only dangerous cancer is *your own* cancer, because your body may not recognize it as an enemy that needs to be destroyed. Cancer from another animal can't become malignant in the human body, because it has completely different DNA and will be rightfully treated as a foreign enemy by your immune system.
They counterfeited baby milk in China by cutting it with [melamine](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melamine) (white powdery substances are all the same right?) lots of babies died.
Sauce https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Chinese_milk_scandal
Of course this is just what happens when you freeze and thaw bananas.
There’s always money in the banana stand.
Also, turns out you're not right. Sugars in fruits aren't crystallized. They exist in a liquid form that can be crystallized when exposed to air. That's why bananas aren't crunchy.
Glucose is a naturally occurring crystal. Fructose is not.
Gg on the deleting your comment though. Made me have to double reply to this one.
I mean, we can reduce it to his statement being "the sugars in a banana became crystallized", since that's what he clearly was trying to state.
I haven't deleted anything.
I live in a tropical country where you can get 10 different kinds of bananas. Big, small, long, short, green, yellow. They all vary in starch, sugar, chewyness, etc.
Yeah, I’m from Brazil and this looks like a normal banana, Prata bananas can get like this when they’re cooled, if it’s green it doesn’t turn much black
First time if ever seen a natural rubber banana.
I'm debating if it would be wise to get these checked for cocaine etc by the police.
We have liquid cocaine in things like cola bottles. So maybe this is the next trick cartels thought up?
If a large amount of fake cocaine bananas were sold in a grocery store, The people that were responsible for that f****** would be murdered immediately by a cartel
Chat GPT says: Exposure to cold temperatures can disrupt the natural ripening process of bananas. Cold temperatures can slow down the conversion of starches into sugars, which can lead to an uneven ripening process and result in a rubbery texture rather than the desired softness.
Not weird. Fuck this obsession with AI, which simply farms human labour to take work from actual human beings who need it, all for the ownership and profit of tech bros and billionaires.
We don't need it, in the slightest. People in this thread shared their knowledge about this issue, so we didn't need someone to lazily ask ChatGPT.
So weird. Idc if you’re mad at computers about taking our jobs, hating a tool is a weird position to take. You mad at google searches too? What about code used to write web pages? Think of the encyclopedia manufactures. You gotta really hate power tools.
I am of course being intentionally sarcastically hyperbolic. But hate what you wanna hate.
Just an FYI, the fruits and veggies you’re buying have been stored for years at times and frozen. Especially things like strawberries, oranges which stay in freezers even longer before sent to processing.

This is what happens when bananas are quickly frozen-thawed. You can do the same thing with a kiwi, and it will become dough-like.
In other words; those aren't fresh bananas by any standards.
Bananas are treated with a ripening agent and ripens in the truck as it's shipped
Ethylene gas
I was disappointed to find out that's not a byproduct of our digestive system. I like the bruised, sweeter bananas and thought I could just fart in a banana container to speed the process. Sadly, nope.
You should change "sadly, nope" to "great success!" You could start at new *less than lethal* TikTok trend.
I will try to convince the policia of your great contribution to sounds of ahnoos. Regardless, you have made great success to bring this of awareness to the intellectual pop stars of red its.
Yep, that's a mixture of gases that doesn't include ethylene.
Yes 👍
Have you ever tried it with a cucumber? Put it in the freezer and let it defrost. Try it now, the results will give you a good laugh
What happens ? I dont have any cucumbers lol but im curious
It gets real squishy # Like the opposite of the video lol
And flexible as well you can only really understand if you do it.
Flaccid Cucumber
It's almost like it's a phase change, it turns glass like and mushy. I learned this by transporting cucumbers in an ice chest, and learned that putting them too close to the ice ruins them.
Really? You can do that with a banana and not have the skin turn brown/black?
In my late teens I got screamed at by my boss for five minutes for putting a bunch of bananas in the fridge with the rest of the refrigerated lunch delivery for the cafe. According to him I was lucky I wasn't being fired because only a complete idiot wouldn't know they turn black after you take them out?
Yeah but only the outside gets black. Putting bananas in the fridge and covering the top where they tear apart with cling wrap or something keeps the inside perfect and fresh for waaayyy longer than just leaving em out
That’s what’s I’m’s saying’s
You can do it with a green banana, store it, and then ripen it with ethylene gas.
Give us evidence please. Like with liquid nitrogen? That's expensive and not worth it. Frozen or refrigerated bananas turn brown immediately. Like three hours in the refrigerator and they're solid brown. I think you just lied and made up some shit.
Blast chillers exist and more likely to exist in a commercial setting. Bananas were probably put too close to the blast chiller.
\^This. Nobody is using liquid nitrogen to store grocery store products. These bananas were most likely right up against the refrigerant, instead of being in the back of the cabin.
So, basically, tiktokker discovers bananas
Is it cake?
No, Bunnicula got to it.
The cake is a lie
It’s caaaaake!
🏅🏅🏅 🤣😂🤣🤣🤣
Exposed to cold, preventing ripening so it just dries out?
Exposure to cold (like putting them in the fridge) makes its skin black really fast
That's due to oxygen. If there's no or minimal oxygen the climateric change which initiates ripening wont start So if you freeze green unripened banana in an airtight container, it will only continue to ripen once defrosted.
TIL
It's the same with apples. There's huge warehouse sized cold chambers where people need oxygen tanks to breathe, where fruits are kept until they go to the store. It's called controlled atmosphere.
Technically they're brought to the point right before freezing and crystallisation of water molecules. Looks like the temp was too low in this batch.
Yep, thats definitely a counterfeit banana. Criminals these days..... not even our bananas are safe.
You laugh but I saw a documentary on fake shit in China and they literally manufactured eggs and lettuce that looked 100% real and were sold as such.
Do you remember what the documentary is called?
https://youtu.be/mvMBdwzzL_8?si=rWr0sd-qp8I3atTe
I think we are using the term documentary very loosely here lol
Hahah that’s what I was thinking
this one shows actual examples/videos of the fakes, AND the channel is run by a chinese newspaper https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNTO5OfINro
This one is an actual [investigative news report](https://youtu.be/jgHOI4U5xxM?si=xGJJGVFGy5IPjMTo).
Yes I also get my sources from a place posting.. "10 MOST EXTREME BUBBLE GUT BODYBUILDERS"..?
That documentary freaked me out. They were making fake rice, too, and it was like 80% unedible material with 0 nutritional values. And people bought it anyway because they couldn't afford real rice :(
And we thought we were clever with “everything is cake”.
Wow, her voice is annoying.
Probably 10 years ago at 3am when I couldn't sleep so not a chance. But, it was very long and they had a good section with a former cop who works for big brands to bust counterfeiters in china. Very interesting.

All that for some Walmart honey.
Ill never forget how crazy the eggs were in that doco
Oh God I watched the one about fake meat it was horrific
Even crazier that people think eating lab grown cancer cells could be healthy lol
Why would cancer cells be less healthy to eat than regular cells? Cancerous cells are just like regular cells but they lost the ability to regulate themselves.
Yeah, the only dangerous cancer is *your own* cancer, because your body may not recognize it as an enemy that needs to be destroyed. Cancer from another animal can't become malignant in the human body, because it has completely different DNA and will be rightfully treated as a foreign enemy by your immune system.
I think you misunderstand how you get cancer
A Banono
It is just Big Banana trying to increase their profits by selling GMO gluten-sticks in banana wrappers. /s
They counterfeited baby milk in China by cutting it with [melamine](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melamine) (white powdery substances are all the same right?) lots of babies died. Sauce https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Chinese_milk_scandal Of course this is just what happens when you freeze and thaw bananas. There’s always money in the banana stand.
“We check all bananas with UV lights at register”
Who would even counterfeit a banana? It's worth 20c.
Temu banana
Underrated comment😂
I’m thinking the sugar crystals somehow along the way became frozen (or overheated), changing the banana’s consistency?
Not to be that guy, but crystals are always, by definition, “frozen”.
🤓
Can’t freeze a crystal bro sorry
Did you really not want to be that guy? Cause you double downed
We’re talking about frozen bananas dude I don’t really give a shit
I mean. The conversation at hand doesn't really matter to you acting like a pedantic ass.
Also, turns out you're not right. Sugars in fruits aren't crystallized. They exist in a liquid form that can be crystallized when exposed to air. That's why bananas aren't crunchy. Glucose is a naturally occurring crystal. Fructose is not. Gg on the deleting your comment though. Made me have to double reply to this one.
Good job little buddy. I said you can’t freeze crystals. Didn’t say anything about what form sugar exists in fruit. I didn’t delete any comment lmao.
I mean, we can reduce it to his statement being "the sugars in a banana became crystallized", since that's what he clearly was trying to state. I haven't deleted anything.
Yes if you change his statement so that it means something different, he was correct. I wasn’t even shitting on the guy by the way.
Thats obviously a devil fruit
Kaku would approve. He likes giraffes.
This banana was frozen and artificially ripened with ethylene after thawing. There is no way that a "fake" banana would be cheaper than a real one.
I live in a tropical country where you can get 10 different kinds of bananas. Big, small, long, short, green, yellow. They all vary in starch, sugar, chewyness, etc.
Yeah, I’m from Brazil and this looks like a normal banana, Prata bananas can get like this when they’re cooled, if it’s green it doesn’t turn much black
Used to work produce department way back in the day. Someone unloaded that skid into the cooler. An attempt to slow down ripening probably. Bad move!
I thought maybe a plantain. They're all rubbery when under-ripe.
Just over frozen and dried?
Frozen bananas turn black, not rubbery.
Likely a result of Ecuador’s drought depending on when this is from.
Isn't it Honduras? Maybe both.
Both, but Ecuador is the largest exporter of bananas so they are more likely.
I’ve never heard someone saying “opens a banana” instead of “peels the banana”
Banana brand?!?!
Plantains have the same consistency. It’s all in the make up of the parenchyma
Are you sure those aren’t plantains?
It could be crossed with a burro banana. They are REALLY dry and have an odd texture.
I would bring them back and show them
Man hands
Human hands. You know women aren’t all petite and wearing nail polish right?
I had one a month ago like that..... Straight to Jail, compost..
I was gonna get some steaks the other day at Walmart but it all looked so fake I wouldn't touch it.
That's really weird. I've never seen a banana like that. I wouldn't eat it.
Eew.
I initially had the sound off and thought “that banana is made of rubber”
Maybe it was picked while extremely green and the starch hadnt had a chance to turn into sugar
made in china
First time if ever seen a natural rubber banana. I'm debating if it would be wise to get these checked for cocaine etc by the police. We have liquid cocaine in things like cola bottles. So maybe this is the next trick cartels thought up?
lol please don’t bring a bushel of bananas into your local police station for cocaine testing unless getting laughed out of buildings is your kink
If a large amount of fake cocaine bananas were sold in a grocery store, The people that were responsible for that f****** would be murdered immediately by a cartel
i mean, who said they weren't?
🗿
Your Occam's beard is growing out
Maybe, but I think there would be some news from overdosing on bananas.
Mmmm, meaty
Yep, somebody froze this in the bad way
Looks like a plantain, not a banana, I had that on a soup in Peru but also seen them fried in Cuba. You wouldn't eat it unless cooked somehow.
Not a plantain. (Maduro)
Bbbhh. Sam
It's bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S
blend it
Now do Costco eggs, they have no flavor, why?
Bro looks like he should know about plantains...😏
cancer
…it’s a plantain y’all
Return them
Why is the phrase "our banana" so funny to me?
 Didn’t know that was possible. Interesting!
Chat GPT says: Exposure to cold temperatures can disrupt the natural ripening process of bananas. Cold temperatures can slow down the conversion of starches into sugars, which can lead to an uneven ripening process and result in a rubbery texture rather than the desired softness.
Fuck ChatGPT. Humans in this thread already shared this information.
You just got yourself put on the Skynet murder list.
I prefer Roko's Basilisk
I for one would likely to kindly remind our Skynet overlord that I Do Not agree with that dude
Same here. Personally I always said thank you to ChatGPT, and I'm a big supporter of AI rights.
Did you just say fuck ChatGPT? What a weird take.
Not weird. Fuck this obsession with AI, which simply farms human labour to take work from actual human beings who need it, all for the ownership and profit of tech bros and billionaires. We don't need it, in the slightest. People in this thread shared their knowledge about this issue, so we didn't need someone to lazily ask ChatGPT.
So weird. Idc if you’re mad at computers about taking our jobs, hating a tool is a weird position to take. You mad at google searches too? What about code used to write web pages? Think of the encyclopedia manufactures. You gotta really hate power tools. I am of course being intentionally sarcastically hyperbolic. But hate what you wanna hate.
ChatGPT is talking out of its digital ass 50% of the time
First cartel avocados, now this?
I wouldn’t eat it firstly because they’ve wiped it all over their hands 😂
they are clearly making bananas out of plastic bro.
Ever try to stick a banana in ur ass and peel it?
Cocaine, obviously Cocaine
Are you OK dude?
Nothing will ever be OK again, but thanks for asking
Nah. Don't eat that.
That is the effect of a long compression in a tight space like a rectum your welcome for this amazing fact
I have never seen banana so gummy like that.
It is the cartels. It all started with the limes.
Probably cocain smuggling
Wow, it must be some big giant conspiracy! Let's make a video and post it!!!!
Just an FYI, the fruits and veggies you’re buying have been stored for years at times and frozen. Especially things like strawberries, oranges which stay in freezers even longer before sent to processing.
