It occured to me that when it comes to bananas, the con's may outweigh the pro's. This is a sad thing because bananas, with their smile-like shape are nice things and I want to like them enough to eat them, but I just can't get over the many issues I have with them:
Pro's
1. They're shaped like a smile which makes me smile (yes, a smile)
2. They're a nice colour
3. They taste nice. Especially with custard
4. They're a healthy, fulfiling and convenient snack
Con's
1. There is only a small window of opportunity for eating them ie. too brown + soft (yuck) or too green + hard (yuckier)
2. They have a weird spike at the bottom, which is freaky + a little dark
3. Apparently if you eat more than one a day you die of a potassium overdose !!?
4. Personally I can't bite into them - I have to slice them, which requires a knife and a certain amount of effort
5. Spiders sometimes pierce into them with their fangs and inject poison into them (I was told this this morning and to be fair to the banana, the source isn't incredibly reliable)
6. They have that horrible stringiness about them..urgh. Oranges are also guilty of this.
7. They 'could have your eye out'
