Mouldy banana or spider infested trap...?

[PineapplePrincess]

Just bought bananas from the local shop. Was in a rush, so grabbed and ran. Got home and one of the bananas is looking pretty nasty.

Don't want to open the bag, so pictures are not the best.

YABU - chill pill, mouldy banana!?!
YANBU - evacuate, evacuate!!!

Umm even open.. double bag air tight and gin. Why would you pick those up

Burn it immediately.

I would just chop that part off and bin. The rest will be fine. Total waste just to chuck the whole lot.

Something is dead in that bag.

That's why I never buy prepacked bananas! And never organic, I want any lurking fuckers to be blasted with pesticides.

Highly deadly black tarantula.

I'm not saying it's a tarantula, buuuut

My mum told me she knew someone who once bought an expensive plant. It died pretty quickly and they took it back to the garden centre/nursery to say they'd followed proper care instructions and why had it died. Investigations took place - there was a hollow among the roots where they found a big egg sac. Minus the mummy spider.

Had to search the house looking for the bloody thing. Not my idea of a fun treasure hunt!!

I don't know if I completely believe my mum (although she's not really a one for lies) but I do love the story!

This

I'd just bin the lot personally.

@LemonMuffins - can't say that without singing the song!

Anyone watch the Diane Morgan series - Mandy? There's an episode where she got a job at a Banana packing factory and she has to hammer the spiders as they come down the belt, with the bananas. There were tons of them. For a horrible moment I thought that this actually happens!

Defo get someone else to open them outside and be prepared to run.

Hmmmm - hard to tell from the pics but no way would I be opening the bag to find out

I'd just put the whole think in a bag and then in the wheelie bin.

take it back to the shop, what ever it is looks like its rotting to me.

the main thing you should be looking for is a little silky bobble glued to the bananas, thats what egg sacks look like.

and only buy loose as you cant look between the bananas properly when they are in a bag, if you dont have time to do that buy apples or a melon or something instead, the Cavendish banana will be extinct soon anyway.

I’d just like to point out tarantula’s aren’t deadly!

Depends on the country of origin to what spider may be on them.

I dont think tarantulas are in areas where cavandish bananas are grown and how the hell would one get on a bunch anyway they are ground dwelling, unless someone dropped a bunch on the poor sod.

This is what I was thinking until I read 'spider' .

Now my advice is keep the bag closed and use a dustpan and brush to get it straight outside into the bin!

I dunno, I think I'd have a heart attack if I saw one in my kitchen!

Had a false window in a bunch of sable grapes before, I was really enjoying them until I spotted the little bugger.
