Weird observations about certain foods
 

Ever notice how any food that is left next to a banana begins to take on the flavor of the banana?

So like.... if I was to leave a steak next to a banana I would get a banana flavored steak?

No, but if you left the banana lying on top of the steak in your fridge, the steak would have a hint of banana taste.

For example, I had some cookies and a banana in my lunch bag and I am now eating the cookies and they taste like banana.

Or maybe you are just severly unblanced.

I feel you, Sticky.
I get that way when I hang out with my ladies...

You get used to it.

I guarantee you that I am severly unbalanced, but that has nothing to do with my cookies tasting like banana.

ever notice that sprinkels on ice cream have no taste. they just look like multicolored rat turds.

The reason bananas are like that is cuz they breathe, man. Their skin is porous and I'm sure they breathe through it.
I know it's true, because I once bought bananas and left 'em in a tied plastic bag. And they suffocated. Died real quick like.
So them bananas are breathing their banana breath all over your steak & cookies.

its not the oil bananas produce but its breaths. okay sure that makes sense.

ok if bananas breath then were are its lungs. i, being the mad scientist that i am, dicected a banana looking for its lungs. couldnt find any. so i ahhh ...ate it. for scientific reasons of course! dont look at me like that i am too a scientist. everything i did was in the name of wheatys...ahh science.

Don't ever leave the cap off your milk jug with bananas in the fridge. Yuck!

How about this one?

Eat about five stalks of asparagus and then take a leak about an hour later. Notice anything funny?

Most authorities feel that the compound that causes the odor in urine after consumption of asparagus is methylmercaptan, which is a sulfur-containing derivative of the amino acid, methionine. This is disputed by a few individuals who claim that the odiferous compound is asparagine-amino-succinic-acid monoamide, which is derived from the amino acid, asparagine. In either case, the product is formed as a derivative during the digestion and subsequent breakdown of beneficial amino acids that occur naturally in asparagus.

I think it is because we have not learned yet how to truly accept asparagus for what they are...

our equals in this confused world. Once we do, our chamber-pots shall be odor free.

If one individual accepts a asparagus as an equal does the odor go away for that one induvidual or does the world as a collective have to accept them as equals?

It worked for her...

or so she says. I want to believe her.

I once put antipasto next to some pasta and they both disappeared

So what happens if I put my bananas with my asparaguss'es''ss?

Will I shit green and yellow?

ok, so today I not only brought a banana, to work, in my lunch but I also brought a pickle.
I cannot tell a lie, I actually brought two pickles.

When I was ready to eat my lunch, I was curious to see if any of my food would take on the flavour of the pickles or the bananas. And if it did take on the flavour of one of them, which one.

Conclusion:
My lunch did not take on the flavour of the of either the pickles or the banana. This was due to many factors including:
- the rest of my lunch was in a tupperware container thereby protected by a 2mm thich piece of plastic.
- I separated the banana from the rest of the lunch as soon as I got to work so that it would not be in the fridge.
- the inherent conflict between the banana and the pickcle. I was lucky I did not find them both half beaten to death by the time I got to work. They probably cancelled each other out.
- I doubled bagged the pickles to make sure they did not leak pickle juice.

but most of all I think that the reason that nothing took on the flavour of the banana or the pickles is due mostly to my lack of planning.

Had I planned it when I was making my lunch I would have done things different:
- I would have put cookies in my lunch bag. The cookies would not have been in a tupperware container protected from the elements but in a thin plastic bag susseptible to calls and tauntings of both the pickles and the banana.
- I would not have double bagged the pickles.
- I would have left the banana in until I ate my lunch to give it the same fair chance as the pickle to persuade the cookies to change their flavour.

Sticky, can I eat lunch with you? :p

If you put brown/old bananas near green or yellow bananas the new ones turn just as brown as the older ones.
If you put crunchy/hard (ie:gingerbread) cookies in a container with soft ones(ie: softer chocolate chip cookies),the soft ones go hard as a rock.

Nice food observation <b>mew</b>

Sticky, you need to become a scientist.

That would mean I would have to go back to school, right?

Sticky - are you trying to make Frankenfruit cookies?

I guess I don't look at my food long enough to observe anything....
