There are two kinds of people in the world: green banana or brown banana

what? yellow. wtf?

No middle ground! Only green!

Everybody who votes brown banana better be a Drosophila melanogaster.

brown, even if they are 'worse' for you

ugh even thinking about brown bananas ugggggggghhhhh

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

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

there is no such thing as a yellow banana

they literally do not actually exist

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

I didn't even know that could happen?

answer is brown btw

people who vote brown are basically already rotting in hell

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

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?

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?

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

green have a claggy mouth feel

and im not even sure i know what claggy means!

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.

i thought at first this was an erection thing

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

would rather eat baking powder than a green banana

Sugar over starch for me.

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

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

imo

Generally ripe fruit is nicer than unripe fruit.

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

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

i hate brown bananas and brown bananas strings.

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...

Lol

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.

I would rather smoke brown btw

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

he could change at any moment

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

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.

Virtue is moderation between two extremes, ppl; get yr Maimonides on

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

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

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

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

imo

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

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

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.

Ban these sick bananazis imo

he's back on the fence, does the man have no principles?

My main principle is "people who eat green or brown bananas don't understand how bananas work"

if getting off the fence means being forced to eat a gross spoiled or unripe banana, I am never getting off the fence

yes i believe that the image has already sufficiently outlined your position

What is you guyses favorite sound effect denoting a brown banana being squeezed out?
I've settled on GLORP for now, but there could one day be a new champion.

you need some Aquinas in yr life, darraghmac

euphemisms for farts thread?

jeez no way- fuck paying for bottled water imo

loooooooooooool

so basically this thread is T/S

well yes the brown bananas would be easier to gum yer way through so if that is your reason for choosing them i am sorry i was indifferent to your plight and needs

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

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.

something about the font and the color of that Yum! strikes me as insincere.

i said it before and i'll say it again- a lotta mods got mighty big talkin on this board once they knew they couldn't be sbanned

if it makes you feel any better I sbed John for being condescending and gross

then I sbed myself out of a sense of karmic justice

wait do sbans on mods count now, or is it just mod-on-mod violence that has any effect

they've counted for months! the last clusterfuck meta thread we had was about whether we had adequately communicated whether sbs against mods counted or not

well there's your answer. i wrote the companion guide to that thread ffs

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

okay why are you turning into LJ

fear of genuine labor?

then why you picking green bananas?

small doses of carefully applied suffering allow me to feel virtuous in my indolence

plus brown banana = what babies leave on everything in spitting distance

what kind of weird-ass deliciously-wasted-banana spitting babies do you know?

the more i think about it the more i think that brown bananas are basically like what you would get if a perfectly healthy green banana got food poisoning and threw up into another banana

okay now

what would the sound effect for the green banana be?

silent death
