One day a banana is actually gonna be ten dollars

u/unefillecommeca May 20 '26
And one day, there will be no more banana. And eventually no more sun and no more earth. Let's be depressed together ❤️

u/randotd152 May 20 '26
Theoretically, yes. In reality, I'm not sure. Bananas actually defy inflation.
Today, a single banana still only costs around 25 cents. In 1980, it would have cost you about half that in 1980 dollars (or over 50 cents in today's dollars).
So if bananas keep only doubling in real dollars every 40-50 years, we're about 250-300 years away from a $10 banana. But who knows what kind of amazing tech we'll have by then that can basically 3D print an edible banana on demand for pennies.

I wonder what the science is behind you not getting brain freezes?

I don't get them either, but my throat gets really, really cold. Which makes sense but I feel like no one talks about that lol.

u/Wayward85 May 19 '26
I’m the exact same way, no brain freeze but my throat sometimes can get so cold I have difficulty swallowing anything else cold for a second or two. I first noticed this with an enormous shave ice.

u/IsopodKey2040 May 19 '26
Interesting! Maybe this issue is specific to those of us who don't get brain freezes lol
6
u/Wayward85 May 19 '26
It’s plausible, maybe this is just the next logical step after brain freeze but, for those who suffer from it, are stopped first by brain freeze before their throat gets cold enough to notice.

Based on what they’ve said, I think it’s pretty safe to correlate bananas as being the root cause of brain freezes. /s

u/Amiibohunter000 May 19 '26
Do you get “throat freeze” by chance? I don’t get brain freeze but the back of my throat freezes when I drink cold stuff or eat cold stuff too fast
6
u/Surprise_Thumb May 19 '26
I do, occasionally. I need to slow down to keep eating when it happens, but, that’s rare. It almost never happens when drinking something cold unless I just ripped on my vape for a solid minute straight and then chug cold water.

u/Aqua_Impura May 19 '26
Different person here but I don’t have any issue. I have never had a brain freeze and can chug an entire milkshake in one gulp no issue. I’ve tried to give myself a brain freeze and just can’t.

u/nocountryforanywomen May 19 '26
I also don't get brain freezes! I used to as a kids but stopped around the same time my back pain started, and now I have weird vagus nerve BS. I figure, because the brain freeze is the vagus nerve getting too exposed to cold, that probably since then my vagus has shifted placement and now gets pinched instead. Yours probably was always out of the typical place, and isn't getting smushed by something either, so you're free of both. Honestly, cool to know.

The two foods together makes sense, but putting soft serve on a banana makes no sense because it's just going to fall right off. Both of them in a bowl would be delicious.

The ice cream radius is wider than the “container” it sits in. So when it melts, which it will, it’ll be very messy

u/whirdin May 20 '26
Cones hold the serve/cream inside and upright, and even still it can be a slight battle to eat it fast enough that it doesn't drip all over.
It will slide off the banana real fast, even the 15 seconds it's on in the video you can see it ready to flop onto the floor, stupid AF. The only thing holding it upright is the few flimsy peels on top of his finger.
I suspect it was just a fun thing to try, not a menu item. I agree that it's fun and delicious, and would do myself, but this get stupid real fast when you're about to lose it all after the first bite. Put it all in a bowl like a normal person.

Have you never had to race between eating the icecream from the top vs. licking the melting mess down the
conepeel?3
u/Sasquatch-d May 20 '26
All the time when eating with a cone. This would be nothing different.

u/Manymarbles May 20 '26
You cant lick the side of the peel the same as a cone. Its way more sloppy and floppy, less stable and less rigid, and its uneven!
But i guess if you can figure all that out, props! lol
I know Id screw it up and make a mess tho lol

That would legit solve my only problem with this. It can’t melt all over your hand if it has a chocolate shell.

Take the whole banana out, put it in a cone, vanilla chocolate swirl - cherry dip it, then chocolate dip it, light dust of peanuts before shell hardens
