How many times do you force a banana. In to you ?

[bizzey]

Don't actually like them ..but 1 or 2 I am aiming for .

@ArblemarchTFruitbat

Just to add, I still shudder 45 years later at the memory of some banana-flavoured penicillin I had to take as a toddler when I had ear-ache

A hideous long dormant memory of spooning this into DC's mouths has re-awakened.
So so grim. And sticky-got everywhere.
Feel a bit retchy now.
And I love bananas

When I was low in potassium and had gone off bananas, the nurses told me dark chocolate to help?

Split almost in half still in skin, stuff with chocolate drops, push back together and wrap in foil, bake 15 mins, delicious

@Katieandthekids

Came here thinking this was some weird sex thread and was intrigued.

Will leave saying just take a potassium supplement OP

This.

For those asking further about my previous workplace’s No Banana Policy.

It started when the owner of the company was triggered by someone leaving a banana in a desk and going on annual leave. Banana went brown and the stink was dreadful. This triggered memories of having to have that banana flavoured medicine when he was a kid. Apparently his Mum used to mash it in over ripe bananas to disguise the taste(!) and he has a huge aversion to them.
This led to a discussion in the office about food smells in the workplace, so the following was banned:
Bananas
Tuna and any other fish
Peanut butter
Oranges - bananas were indeed not the only fruit 😉
And some others I can’t remember now.

It worked well for harmonious times instead of office stink outs.

Carrot and date sandwich sounds like it belongs in Nanny Ogg's cookbook "the joy of snacks"

@RedToothBrush you think avocados are any better? 😳😂

Never, I don't like bananas.

I get plenty of potassium from other foods which are as good or richer for potassium and magnesium. If I couldn't find other foods then I'd take a supplement rather than eat bananas.

Almost spat my coffee out reading this!

Puree banana or cut into little chunks & freeze, tastes like ice-cream & quite indulgent

Use a supplement instead!

Zoe Harcombe worked out that you need to eat something like 77 bananas to get as much potassium as one potassium tablet.

2 bananas isn't going to do much!

@RedToothBrush

Bananas are destroying the planet. All that shipping across the world.

Eat an avocado instead. They are much nicer.

Ummm… There’s something I think you should know

I'm enjoying your free-jazz approach to punctuation and capiltalisation.

No. Thats also precisely why I posted that! It was deliberate. It was a joke.

Its amazing who doesn't spot deliberate sarcasm!

@SixQuidGames

Is this one of those totes hilaire ‘accidental’ mistypes aiming for spitting tea, waking babies and nominations for classics?

Yep

I know, i'll eat bananas even though a dont like them is fucking stupid.

Thats why I posted a fucking stupid deliberate idiocy. I thought it would be fucking obvious thats what it was.

Clearly I was wrong.

Don't like bananas. Use Google. Find alternative.

Ugh I made the mistake of trying a banana when I had no taste from covid, thinking I could force a few down for health reasons. Omg, the texture of a tasteless banana is somehow 10x worse than the taste alone. It was horrendous. Never again.

I never eat bananas - unless to be polite if they are contained in a cake etc.

How did we survive before bananas became available (in my youth they were still special)?
Potaotes, tomatoes, carrots, brussel sprouts, apricots, dark chocolate, rye flour all contain potassium.

Utterly pathetic (and grammatically crap) title. Stop being disingenuous about it.

Ooo and you can get them on a british allotment. Who would have thought?

Unless they are 2 days ripe only they taste far too strongly ... of banana, gross.

Oh dear… I take it you haven't heard the news about avocados.

Didn't RTFT. Ignore me.
