When you buy bananas, break them apart into individual bananas instead of leaving them in the bunch.

Why YSK: The stem of the bunch is the main culprit for releasing ethylene gas, which is basically a ripening accelerator. By separating them, you significantly slow down this process. This means your bananas will stay yellow and edible for far longer, saving you from having to eat a dozen bananas in two days or, more likely, throwing them out. No more premature browning, unless you’re specifically aiming for banana bread. Your fruit bowl (and wallet) will thank you.

    Look just a little further into the comments, I dug up a couple relevant links.

    Apparently beer is also on the skeeter menu… ☹️

      I was considering quitting bananas, maybe even my type O blood, but once you mentioned giving up beer, I immediately abandoned thr whole idea.

        If you smoke enough weed along with drinking the beer, the skeeters get too stoned and drunk and just fall out of the air, right?

        Right?

      Looks around at my type O blood, regular (but moderated) beer intake, and love for bananas

      We’ll I’ll be damned.
