SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the unconventional concept of "haunted bananas," which involves inscribing messages on bananas that become visible as they ripen. The technique is simple but requires timing to ensure the recipient sees the message before the banana is consumed or overripe. Additionally, the conversation touches on the dangerous nature of deep-fried beer, highlighting its potential for explosive reactions and burn risks, as detailed in the article from MyRecipes. The discussion emphasizes the absurdity of these culinary experiments and their implications.

Maybe people have too much time on their hands... or air pollution has epigenetic effects beyond pulmonary damage. As in brain damage.

This recipe is potentially explosive, therefore a dangerous burn potential, which the article is very careful to explain. Definitely a DIY Darwin award kind of thing.

... not sure why the guy in Texas 'invented' this.

At the mostly harmless end of the inanity spectrum, how about bananas as a very slow motion Instagram substitute? Leave a message on a banana. Lightly incise a short message with a pointy stylus or knife on a shiny new banana. When the banana ripens the message appears. If your intended "victim" eats the banana too soon this effort fails. Too late, ditto. Like when you make banana bread out of very overdue bananas.

Some sites call them 'haunted bananas'.
Example: https://www.pinterest.com/hicks1803/banana-messages/

Harmless, mostly, unless you decide to inscribe fruit, un-purchased, at the store or at the vendor's cart. Or imagine that a very wrong person gets the banana. As in 'We know what you did' inscribed by anonymous.

If you know another kind of offbeat foolishness you want to add to the list, please do.

Sounds like a sure method to get the local firemen busy. Water is one of if not the best fire accelerant for hot oil.
