Everybody who votes brown banana better be a Drosophila melanogaster.

breaking that little dog's heart chakra (Abbott), Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:00 (fifteen years ago)

brown, even if they are 'worse' for you

stofu (cozen), Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:01 (fifteen years ago)

ugh even thinking about brown bananas ugggggggghhhhh

AESTHOLE (jjjusten), Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:02 (fifteen years ago)

it's brown-side of yellow vs green-side of yellow, really

stofu (cozen), Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:03 (fifteen years ago)

green bananas are great if you love cellulose and are a mother fucking ruminant. brown for all time.

caek, Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:03 (fifteen years ago)

there is no such thing as a yellow banana

goole, Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:03 (fifteen years ago)

they literally do not actually exist

goole, Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:03 (fifteen years ago)

I have some bananas at home that are still green but already going brown

I didn't even know that could happen?

iatee, Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:04 (fifteen years ago)

answer is brown btw

iatee, Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:04 (fifteen years ago)

people who vote brown are basically already rotting in hell

goole, Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:05 (fifteen years ago)

yeah, id rather have brown than green -- green makes me feel awful

69, Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:05 (fifteen years ago)

ba-na-na

Mmmm brown, when they start getting that over-sweet alcoholic smell.

green have a claggy mouth feel

ppl who put bananas up their noses vs ppl who put bananas up their butts

Which category does Raffi fall under?

breaking that little dog's heart chakra (Abbott), Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:07 (fifteen years ago)

green ones have no flavor. brown ones have xtra flavor, and if they're too mushy to eat on their own, you can put them in pie etc.

is that a new Fox reality show, Dan?

hope this helps (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:07 (fifteen years ago)

don't throw the brown ones out just freeze them for when you're ready to bake a loaf of nutritious banana bread

69, Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:10 (fifteen years ago)

eating green bananas puts me off bananas for weeks. Brown bananas, I can accept it's just a single bad one. Also, a wee bit of brown - DELICIOUS, a wee bit of green - NOT DELICIOUS.

although I initially read this as being metaphorical, like people who are green bananas rush into things and people who are brown bananas leave them till too late.

recipe for brown banana

mix equal parts elmers school paste and powdered sugar. once mixture reaches desired consistency, rub a 3 day old dead rat on it. serves one.

AESTHOLE (jjjusten), Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:11 (fifteen years ago)

Saying a brown banana works well in a banana bread is not a defense, imo – baking powder is part of banana bread, too, but I don't just sit around eating that by the teaspoon.

breaking that little dog's heart chakra (Abbott), Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:13 (fifteen years ago)

as green as they get, for me. the thought of eating a brown banana makes me gag a little.

harbl, Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:13 (fifteen years ago)

i didn't know other people had that problem, or had the opposite problem

harbl, Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:14 (fifteen years ago)

yeah but it would be a relevant point if the argument was "does baking powder suck?" xp

iatee, Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:14 (fifteen years ago)

For just eating straight, yes! Just like brown bananas.

breaking that little dog's heart chakra (Abbott), Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:14 (fifteen years ago)

would rather eat baking powder than a green banana

iatee, Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:15 (fifteen years ago)

Sugar over starch for me.

Vision Creation Mansun (NickB), Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:16 (fifteen years ago)

I didn't even know that could happen?

Supposedly if they've been kept cold (frozen or slightly above) while green they never go yellow, just straight to brown. I dunno if this is true but the food deliveries to my work have ice-cold bananas which seem to go brown while still partially green.

Given a choice I always go for the green one and then it is all woody and musty-tasting and full of stringy bits which stick to my teeth and I wish I'd gone for a brown banana, which usually taste fine but they just don't look appetising. Damn my inability to learn from experience.

atoms breaking heart (a passing spacecadet), Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:16 (fifteen years ago)

brown banana >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> baking powder >>> green banana

iatee, Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:16 (fifteen years ago)

imo

iatee, Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:16 (fifteen years ago)

Generally ripe fruit is nicer than unripe fruit.

Vision Creation Mansun (NickB), Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:16 (fifteen years ago)

Green bananas and baking powder are actually pretty similar tastes now I think about it

atoms breaking heart (a passing spacecadet), Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:17 (fifteen years ago)

i dont think you can grow either kind of banana in the city tho so you dont get to vote xxpost

AESTHOLE (jjjusten), Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:18 (fifteen years ago)

i hate brown bananas and brown bananas strings.

estela, Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:19 (fifteen years ago)

Green tastes like my reptillian inner brain is telling me to spit it out. Brown all the way!

And don't get me started on plantains...

nickn, Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:19 (fifteen years ago)

Lol

Aerosol, Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:20 (fifteen years ago)

good point...truthfully I only eat subway rats and sidewalk weeds and I don't really remember what fruit tastes like xp

I'm green/yellow colorblind so for years I was eating green bananas hoping they were yellow. So traumatizing. I learned to tell which are truly green by how thick and firm the skin feels, and now that goes on my resume.

hope this helps (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:22 (fifteen years ago)

I would rather smoke brown btw

darraghmac, noted ,meleon should not be trusted on this issue

he could change at any moment

got you all in ♜ ♔ (dyao), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 16:20 (fifteen years ago)

nobody's talking about melons, altho they are best, imo, slightly underripe as opposed to the alternative.

,,,,,,eeeeleon (darraghmac), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 16:22 (fifteen years ago)

Basically if I wanted that special green banana taste, I would rub a banana on piece of paper and then eat the paper

OTOH if I wanted that special brown banana taste, I would drink a bottle of banana schnapps, puke, and then eat the boozy puke.

based on logical thinking (HI DERE), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 16:22 (fifteen years ago)

fuuck i think that, having claimed to slightly prefer over-ripe, you could have maybe reflected that in your similes tbh

,,,,,,eeeeleon (darraghmac), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 16:27 (fifteen years ago)

alternatively- if that's your argument for our side, i'd rather you were against us

,,,,,,eeeeleon (darraghmac), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 16:27 (fifteen years ago)

I am saying is that in the strict dichotomy of green vs brown, green is more edible, but in the actual case of slightly underripe vs slightly overripe, there is no reason to ever eat a slightly underripe banana

based on logical thinking (HI DERE), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 16:29 (fifteen years ago)

would chilling a brown banana save it from gushy grossness? somewhat?

yep

well you know nutrionally he is right xxxpost

there is also the option of throwing away your spoiled food

AESTHOLE (jjjusten), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 16:31 (fifteen years ago)

that's as long as you chilled it and it got brown, i dunno what letting it get brown at room temp and then chilling would achieve tbh

someone hold me back

got you all in ♜ ♔ (dyao), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 16:33 (fifteen years ago)

you are saying that you'd rather eat puke than paper

um, no I am not

assume 0 is totally green and 10 is totally brown, with 5 being perfectly ripe

I am saying bananas are edible from 3 to 7. They taste best from 5 to 7. They taste worst from 8 to 10. There are still inedible and gross from 0 to 2, just not as gross as from 8 to 10.

AESTHOLE (jjjusten), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 16:53 (fifteen years ago)

no, you break teeth on horrid hard green bananas is the point.

,,,,,,eeeeleon (darraghmac), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 16:56 (fifteen years ago)

wait so you started out on the correct side of the argument but thx to fragile Unbreakable villain-style teeth now liquid diet circumstances dictate that you can only eat bananas that can be slurped through a straw, fetid juicebox style

see i feel bad now, when you assume, etc.

AESTHOLE (jjjusten), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 17:11 (fifteen years ago)

sad to have missed this poll, sadder still that even one person voted for horrid, mealy, fruit fly gestating brown bananas. bananas are basically inedible unless ever so slightly green. the greenish color indicates the presence of healthful and delicious properties. ffs
