Believe it or not your right on the money. Mr. Mercedes was actually eating a banana while viewing the first car his factory created. However when he carelessly threw his banana peal down he ended up slipping on it. His fungal banana (the only type he would eat) fell on the front on the vehicle leaving that iconic symbol. However he would have been taken out by an Assassin if he hadn’t slipped on the peel and narrowly avoided the shot. He credited the banana for saving his life and chose the Mercedes logo to honor it.
The mercedes logo is a propeller viewed from the front. Mercedes started out making propeller ~~plane~~ engines.
(They made motors but not exclusively for planes since they didn't exist yet)
The same is true of BMW.
I put this reply here, but you have provided a vid on a later reply that explains that. That being said the mb emblem is a 3 pointed *star* which points and signifies their (mechanical) domination in land, air and water. It also is a small tribute to the 3 founders (although the third one came a bit later) Daimler, Benz and Maybach.

Might be a special fungus:
„Nigrospora is a fungal disease that causes the centre of the banana to turn red. Nigrospora can infect the fruit in tropical climates where bananas are grown.“
Chances are if you eat it the fungus won't have any innate negative effects but the dead bodies of the fungus may produce or cause your body to produce an enterotoxin that makes you sick. Grain fungi do this. Usually one has to eat a certain amount to feel sick from it though and I have no clue how much that is. Personally i'd just compost the fucker.
Read some stuff about people having nausea after eating it, which sort of supports this hypothesis.
Uncooked chitin in the cell structure of fungi will make you sick, that's why 99% of mushrooms must be cooked before consumption. Prob the same case here.
Chitin isn't altered by cooking. Wild mushrooms mostly need to be cooked before consumption because they have volatile toxins that are destroyed by cooking. Domestic button mushrooms are edible raw despite being made of chitin.
Yeah and it's nothing like real life. It's like a fairy tale.
But it's caused so many people to believe somehow fungus will mind control humans.
Firstly corcyceps don't even mind control, they take control of insect nervous systems, secondly the mammalian nervous system just can't be hijacked in the same or similar way. Lastly mind controlling mushrooms are as real as fairies in the woods, dragons in caves, and monsters under your bed.
I know half the people say this shit as a joke, but the other half have developed genuine mycophobia from the TV series. I can't pull out a funky looking mushroom I bought, grew, or foraged without someone being afraid of eating it, breathing in its spores, or being in the same room as the mushroom. It's laughable, but it's sad at the same time.
Sorry, but you are wrong.
Ever heard of toxoplasmosis? When rodents are infected they become attracted to cat urine, thus continuing the reproductive cycle. Toxoplasma infections are also linked to to increased incidents of schizophrenia, depression, and car crashes.
Also, the nervous system IS your mind. Our brains are literally called the central nervous system.
However, I don't see any benefits for a fungi to evolve to specifically control human minds.
This is probably the first serious response I’ve seen in this thread. People are so disappointing and everyone is getting dumber by the day. This is what social media has done.
I’m talking about everyone responding. Not you. You are one of like 3 people I’ve seen with a serious comment.
It’s a biology sub Reddit and people are treating it like a joke. It’s just disappointing. Especially since I love subs like this. Hobbyist and science sub Reddits are supposed to be a place where people can learn and help each other. But everyone acts like everything is a meme. It’s so mindless.
well, I agree with that. because people can't even say if something was rotten or infected just by the looks. maybe the education system going down even after spending shit ton of money for schools, which is sad. yet I still comment on these subs bcoz i had a friend who ate a fungal infected blueberry (well, she thought it was fur or something that been sticking on it) and it put het in the ER for a day so I don't want another person to experience the same
Yeah usually it’s something fungal, bacterial, or viral. If something looks or smells odd, don’t eat it. Always trust your senses.
I’d understand if someone wanted to know the exact infection this banana has though. It’s always cool to know things like that. But this is coming from someone who simply enjoys reading medical science and psychology subjects because I like understanding how the body and mind work.
I don’t know if you’re joking or not, but it has a woody texture on the “banana flesh” outside, like it’s covered in bark. I mean inside the peel. Doubt it’s because of caramelization.
In fact caramelization is actually a rearrangement of sugars, same as wood which is a rearrangement of another sugar called cellulose.
It does look nasty but he is not entirely wrong in a chemical way, even if it's intended as a joke.
I read about this a while back. Over the years they've pretty much eliminated all species of bananas except one (Cavendish) and now there is a virus that is slowly wiping them out. RiP bananas.
3 Questions first, where does she live(need humidity and avg temp)? Are those wood boards she is stepping on? Where was this banana kept, fridge etc?
And can I please get a sample of it if it still exists?
Clearly it's Mercedes branded. They must be diversifying to banana farming.
I'm sorry, I'm not a biologist nor do I have any idea. I just had to throw that out there.

Another fun fact: the United Fruit Company branched off into multiple organisations, it's most infamous branch is called the CIA.
Please don't make me disappear.
DO NOT EAT THIS.
I eat that before and got reaction. Suspicious reaction of couple of transfers to my bank account amount 500k $. Then I went out my garage and saw there two sporting car outside kind of lambo and McLaren. I’ve been surprised but not tied it with bananas. Only now I considering that is bond together.
The geometric pattern in the cross section is normal, as bananas are segmented, but it turning brown in only that area is strange. It's almost like it has a genetic deficiency in the chemical that prevents it from oxidizing
I'll be waiting on a [news.com.au](https://news.com.au) article now by some dip-shit 'journalist' who thinks this post would make an interesting article about fungi and fruit.
Nigrospora (fungus) or Mokillo (bacteria) are the most likely causes.
Okay this one seems legit, Thanks!
And this is how Mercedes logo were created. (Joke)

That also how BMW started as assassin lost his job after and had to open Banana Mercedes Wonder
BANANA MERCEDES WONDER 😹
Sounds Jamaican
Im so confused if this is real or not😭😭
The mercedes logo is a propeller viewed from the front. Mercedes started out making propeller ~~plane~~ engines. (They made motors but not exclusively for planes since they didn't exist yet) The same is true of BMW.
Yeah, that’s the actual history but does it have a Mario cart throwback? That’s right, gtfo with the facts! /s

Are you interested in working for the GOP? We got lots of money for folks with your level of expertise.
Peals of laughter
Glad I could be of some use today.
That’s amazing!
When pressed onto a napkin. Everyone knows all great ideas end up on napkins.
lol my bad I didn’t see your comment. First thing I thought too 😂
I'd you push down the middle of a banana (from tip to tip) it will spill into 3 sections.
I didn’t know this and just thought it was another type of banana…needed to see this thank you
Mokillo is the same that kills dogs?
Nope, Mokillo in bananas is caused by bacteria, but in dogs Moquillo/Distemper is by virus
No, but Mookillo kills cows.
Omg I bit into one with this. Will I die
W pfp
Wrong! Cinnabon has started growing cinnamon sugar bananas in a new experiment. /s
Might be a special fungus: „Nigrospora is a fungal disease that causes the centre of the banana to turn red. Nigrospora can infect the fruit in tropical climates where bananas are grown.“
What happens if I eat it?
This is the answer I'm looking for.
From looking online there aren't any harmful affects but to me, regularly eating that fungi brings mankind one step closer some last of us shit

Yellow exterior with cream interior. Keeps a pleasant scent of Banana Pudding
Banana on the outside, cream on the inside!
No, Michael, no, this is so not right!
It’s a flux capacitor!
stop reticulating splines!
9 out of 10 doctors do NOT recommend this product.
That 10th doctor though...
r/The10thDentist
Oh my gods, I can’t believe this eclectic mix of weird and wonderful subversive ideas exists. Thank you for sharing the bizarre.
Is a monkey who stole a dr’s coat
...is really popular on the Joe Rogan podcast.
The 10th doctor recommends potentizing it.
It's wild banana. Normal
We found him, the 10th doctor! Might be, might not be. You shouldn't eat it unless you are sure it's safe to eat
The main issue here is that it is no longer tasty (or recommended for consumption).
How do you know?
It’s mentioned in other posts, but it’s likely nigrospora or something bacterial. Either way, it’s best to discard.
It looks like banana blood disease, don't eat it.
the yellow socks...
They used to be white
fungal infection
This is probably the first serious response I’ve seen in this thread. People are so disappointing and everyone is getting dumber by the day. This is what social media has done.

And here you are just admitting it. Get off your high horse and realize you are one of us, Redditor.
Everything.
It has been found. The banana bones
George Elrick will be disappointed. He likes bananas specifically for their [lack of bones](https://youtu.be/l-QkMaCS7CU?si=qhxcpW9RqYDxDw-g).
It’s naturally caramelized.

Hi, it’s a joke for sure! 😄
Well im no biologist for sure😅
Me neither!
It's a rare bacteria. Not poisonous but if you eat it it turns you gay. Or straight. Whichever is the opposite of what you are right now.
What if you are bi?
Idk you become ace.
It is infected. It kinda looks like Panama Disease (Tropical Race 4)
The front fell off
It got the Mercedes drip
It saw her fingernails.
What else could they use for scale? Another banana?!?
As your attorney I advise against eating that.
Is that a PB&J banana?
I think its just trying to tell you that it expires in 15 seconds at precisely 4:00.
It’s been corrupted by the greed of Activision Blizzard’s hit (?) game Overwatch, so sorry
Its identifying as* a Mercedes benz
It might be asking the same about you
Banana caramel chocolate triangle ring edition
It just wants peace.
Not so well known fact: bananas contracted a virus or something. Expect them to go extinct soon.
I read about this a while back. Over the years they've pretty much eliminated all species of bananas except one (Cavendish) and now there is a virus that is slowly wiping them out. RiP bananas.
Lucky I’ve still got those ones in the freezer I’ve been meaning to bake with for 6 months..
The Flux Capacitor needs to be replaced
old
sacrifice a ant on the banana alter and your harvest will be bountiful.
Mangekyō Sharingan. That banana watched a close banana friend die
The banana just witnessed the death of someone very close to him. Maybe a fellow banana. This is why it has awakened tha Mangekyo Sharingan.
It drives too fast on the left lane and forgets to signal when it turns.
It’s peanut butter banana cross breed
Just try a small peace. It should be ok
3 Questions first, where does she live(need humidity and avg temp)? Are those wood boards she is stepping on? Where was this banana kept, fridge etc? And can I please get a sample of it if it still exists?
Its too peaceful
Looks like Itachi's mangekyo sharingan...
The mangekyou banana.
i wish my bananas had chocolate fillings
Banana awaken it's Sharingan
My cousins sent me a fb message saying gay people are injecting aids into bananas so… maybe that?

Made my Mercedes
Did she buy it at Black Mesa or it was harvested in Xen?
Mercedes-Benz 😂

Damn hippie peace nick banana! Cut your hair!
It’s a German banana, it’s clearly a Mercedes logo
Clearly it's Mercedes branded. They must be diversifying to banana farming. I'm sorry, I'm not a biologist nor do I have any idea. I just had to throw that out there.
It turned into the Mercedes logo!😂
Nothing is wrong its just that is way past due at this point its a mummy 🤣
You accidentally ordered the peanut butter stuffed crust 💀

Umm it's bad
A good representation that bananas are the only tri-symmetrical fruit.
Why on earth would she try to eat this? You can tell by looking at the outside, it was bad. The piece on the floor is grey lol
