- toomanybeersies 8y agoDon't you just take the nearly ripe bananas and store them in your desk drawer? That's what I do, at least. I guess I'm part of the problem.
- fossuser 8y agoHaha yeah that’s the solution - bring the banana to your desk.
- jsolson 8y agoThis had never occurred to me as something someone might do. I cannot do this thing, as I don't open my desk drawer very often, and a banana is exactly the sort of the sort of thing I would forget about. I'm thinking through how this would play out for me, and it's unpleasant for all involved. "Do you want ants?! Because that's how you get ants!" — Archer
- gpvos 8y agoJust put it in view on your desk. There's no shame in that.
- felipemnoa 8y agoWell, ripe bananas are too sweet for some people. Bananas that are just starting to ripen are very good (especially because they taste a bit sour with a tiny bit of sugar), better than fully ripened bananas.
- Xcelerate 8y agoI agree. Ripe bananas are revolting to me for some reason. I think it's the mushy texture. I prefer when there is just a hint of green left on the banana.
- Broken_Hippo 8y agoI cannot upvote these comments enough. I truly dislike the taste of ripe bananas. Sweet yuck. I muchly prefer one that is a bit too green to being a bit too ripe.
- akuji1993 8y agoHoly shit, I think we work in the same office.
