I think what old movies left out was how much litter was on streets and sidewalks, so slipping on a peel may actually have been more common

- jacobr1 2y agoAnother explanation I once heard was that that slipping on horse manure was actually the more common experience, and a banana was a polite substitute for movies.
- mrandish 2y agoThis never occurred to me and seems entirely plausible given that horse manure was constant annoyance in higher traffic areas. The problem was so serious early auto advocates cited the reduction in manure as a major benefit.
