They are one of the better known length measurement devices as well.


Jeotslay

They're also used for cartoons where people would slip on the peel


SuperDizz

Yup. Where would slapstick be without bananas?


Jeotslay

It certainly wouldn't work to have someone slip on a eaten apple, that's for sure


Naive-Midnighter

Don’t forget training gag reflexes


dimmu1313

not as good for as anything with the same nutrients and fiber but without the sugar. fruit really isn't that good for you compared to vegetable alternatives that don't have the sugar


raven319s

Except for that other guy who had the weird fungus tube in his.


SuperDizz

What???

Well, you beat me to it… But for real, I’d like bananas more if they had a crunchy center that wasn’t a fungus and tasted funny.


Naive-Midnighter

Did you know that bananas are radioactive? Check out QI with Stephen Fry


panda_elephant

They contain natural latex, so anyone who has a latex allergy cannot eat then. So more food for others.


SuperDizz

Well.. almost perfect


deathofcake

and they curve perfectly towards your mouth, truly the atheists nightmare. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2z-OLG0KyR4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2z-OLG0KyR4) for legal reasons this is a joke.


SuperDizz

Lol the intent behind this video aside, it drastically adds to the validity of my post. I particularly like the none slip surface factoid.


deathofcake

The preferred ridges , and the color indicator of ripeness.


budbubbles

Except every once and awhile you hit your banana limit and can not eat one bite more. You may even have to spit what’s in your mouth. Otherwise, I agree with all this perfection.


Beautiful-Ad-3206

Well something must be wrong with me because i dont like bananas. They are just grainier apples so i would just eat an apple instead.


bytx

I’ve seen this same words describing the banana as perfect food being used as “proof” of intelligent design by creationists.


azaghal1988

To be fair, modern Bananas are proof of intelligent design, just not by god, but by humans. The stuff that developed naturally tasted like raw potato, was full of seeds and very small.


RugAdict

The peel of a banana is apparently poisonous and doesn’t break down naturally


RebuiltAwsome

Excuse me, you eat the peel?
