If you put bananas and apples together, the bananas ripen faster.

Huh, that's interesting.

Maybe it's because the bananas like the apples. 8D

Weird.

I thought it was the other way round, that the bananas made the other fruit go bad.

@ Vaguely: You're right. Bananas make other fruit go bad - not the other way around.

@ Lady Kayura: It's because bananas have soul sucking powers! They look all innocent with their yellowness but THEY LIE!!!

I got bored today so I actually looked up why this happens. Bananas release ethylene gas when they ripen. Apparently, it causes other fruits to ripen as well.

Ah, I see, that's interesting. I'd wondered for a while why that happens but for some reason I never looked it up. Though I prefer the soul sucking powers explanation. xd

Maybe bananas do have soul sucking powers and science is just hiding the truth from us.
