Banana's Petrify?

I did a post a year or so ago making fun of this. We got a bunch that weren't any different looking than any other green bananas but they never turned yellow. They sat on our counter for a good month, maybe longer. They freaking never changed color at all, not brown, not yellow, they looked as they did the day they came home.

So I threw them away.

So the point of my post was I have now sent five mutant bananas to the dump that are most likely evolving into a high life form and will eventually take over the world.

Looking at your post I am very glad I didn't piss four of them off by snapping one of their siblings in half! :p

Swear to god! Dawn posted the same thing in my "question"! It was a freaking banana!!

Oh it didn't petrify, it just was picked too soon so it couldn't ripen. Sort of like what would happen if you walk by an apple tree in late spring and pick an apple, it will just stay hard and never change.

But I like my minion theory better cause it makes me laugh.

Bug, tell your co op that if they are picked too soon, which happens too much, all the gas in the world won't help them. They are just doomed to form their mutant army!

I get most of our produce from a co-op. I asked him about this once. He said conventional (non-organic) bananas are typically picked early and gassed to ripen. (Yumm?) The ones that do this, were somehow not gassed...probably just not gassed enough. Sometimes you can put the banana in a paper bag with apples, and the apples natural gasses will ripen them. Doesn't always work though.

ETA: HAHA!! I asked, because of a post on here. It must have been Jo's post, because I remember jokes about mutant bananas, and banana armies!!

Holy cow.. I am preparing for the Zombie apocalypse , but with these mutant bananas hiding at the grocery store..I am not prepared for them in my house!

I learn so much on mamapedia

Are you sure it was a banana? Could it have been a plaintain? They are pretty hard, aren't they?

Hmmm....

ETA: After your SWH - I got nothing!!

Oh Jo, so funny! I don't even remember your banana post! Hysterical!
