1. Wow. I love it

I'll never do it, but I love it!

[Suich]

2. That can't possibly work...

...can it?

[bravenak]

3. Cannot be real. Right?

[dixiegrrrrl]

6. Dunno..but it will not hurt to try it.

We always have over ripe bananas around...this could save us a few bucks a week.

[bravenak]

9. I'm gonna try it.

If my kids let one last that long.

[cbayer]

4. No way! Not possible!

I want someone here to try it and report back.

In the meantime, the comments are hilarious.

Here is one

i tried this on my penis and now its white and smaller

5. I guess I could save one of my bananas and let it brown.

Then try this out in my food-dehydrator (I don't own a blow-dryer because I keep my hair short.)

[cbayer]

7. I'm not sure this is going to work without the blowdryer...

but I would love to hear about your experiment.

[kentauros]

8. I better put one aside now,

or I'll forget and end up freezing it for frozen smoothies

[cbayer]

10. Ok, this was my thought right away.

There are lots of great things you can do with brown bananas. Smoothies, freeze them, banana bread. What is the point of making them yellow again?

[kentauros]

11. I suppose so you can watch them rot all over again.

[cbayer]

12. I was already laughing at your response, but Eddie Izzard pushed it over the edge.

And I only got through about 1 minute of it!

[kentauros]

13. Try to finish it,

because my comment about watching it rot is also at the end of Eddie's clip

[pinto]

14. Green tangerine?

[kentauros]

15. Here's what piques my curiosity the most about these food "hacks":

How in the hell did they stumble across this technique anyway?

[TreasonousBastard]

16. Will it still work if you don't have that thing on your head?

[Contrary1]

17. Well, at last we know why he had a blow dryer handy...

I won't speculate about the banana.

[cbayer]

20. Lol. It occurred to me that he might really love blow dryers.

[drm604]

18. This is almost certainly fake.

Even if it did work, how much do you spend on rice and electricity versus the cost of a banana?

[SheilaT]

19. Make banana bread.

[PeaceNikki]

21. Snopes says nope.

The theory for how it 'worked' in the video is: The original video wasn't actually an old banana, they used a refrigerated banana. Cold bananas turn black, and when warm air is applied after being dried, it returns to its original color.

22. That makes more sense...

though the hint might be helpful for moms with very picky eaters. My son used to search every inch of a banana before he would agree to eat it.

(He grew up to be a fine man, anyway.)
