Bananas are awesome and delicious.

They are the world's best selling fruit, with the most commonly known variety probably being the Cavendish.

Bananas are naturally slightly radioactive, more so than most other fruits, because of their high potassium content, and the small amounts of the isotope potassium-40 found in naturally occurring potassium. Banana shipments often set off the radiation monitors installed at US ports to detect illegal shipments of radiologic materials.

A banana tree is not actually a tree, but the world's largest herbaceous flowering plant.

Bananas grow pointing up, not hanging down.

Along with other fruits and vegetables, consumption of bananas is associated with a reduced risk of colorectal cancer and in women, breast cancer and renal cell carcinoma.

Individuals with a latex allergy may experience a reaction to bananas.

Bananas contain considerable amounts of vitamin B6, vitamin C, and potassium. The latter makes them of particular interest to athletes who use them to quickly replenish their electrolytes.

In India, juice is extracted from the corm and used as a home remedy for jaundice, sometimes with the addition of honey, and for kidney stones.

Personally, I prefer bananas when they're still just a bit green.

    It does indeed. I haven't made some inawhile... maybe in the next week or two I will.

    Real question is: with nuts, or without?

    Although I find anything that's "banana flavored" without involving actual bananas is gross

    Banana Runts, banana liquor, etc.

    Apparently their actual name is the "Brazilian Wandering Spider," also known as the Banana Spider or SPAWN OF SATAN. According to wikipedia they are the world's MOST VENOMOUS SPIDER.

    I could give you mine. It's at home, and I don't have it memorized, so you'll have to wait till later tonight.

    Think either my grandma or my dad made it.

    Banana Runts are easily the best

    see also: banana laffy taffy, and banana popsicles (tied for first with root beer flavored)

    If you're really lucky you can find one of those machines that has ONLY the banana runts
