Morning Fruit Issues
12Anyone run into this issue? I eat bananas (typically in the car on the way to work) and I get what I can only call “banana fatigue” about half way down the banana. The banana just becomes the most boring thing on the planet and I don’t want to finish it. I don’t have this issue with other fruit, just bananas.
Do you have the same problem? What about other fruit? What is your favored morning fruit?

I understand this completely! They get too sweet for me and just no longer enjoyable to eat. I’m almost positive this is why mini bananas are a thing.
I love mini bananas.
Bill the Damn Hippie has got you covered.
Pico Fruta
There’s nothing more enjoyable than trying something new and really liking it. Pico Fruta brings joy to fresh fruit. Wonderful on watermelon, apple slices, mango or pineapple. With Pico Fruta, you might just find yourself and your family eating a lot more fruit, and smiling too.
Ingredients: chili pepper, sugar, lemon peel, citric acid, salt, cilantro.
@therealjrn what?!!? that is very intriguing
@moonhat Yep. Bill put it on special when he was protesting tennis shoes or drive thru windows or something. It’s got a little heat, but that is offset by the coolness of the fruit, plus it has an interesting play between the acidic and the sweet.
He might be a liberal dog whistle politically, and have it all wrong, but the man knows how to spice.
@therealjrn I eat bananas for their simplicity, maybe I’ll buy some apples or something.
@therealjrn the only way to eat fruit is with Pico Fruta or Tajin and lemon or lime juice
@therealjrn - I call him Progressive Bill. I subscribe first for the enlightened and heartfelt emails, second for the amazing offers.
So far he has everything right!
@kdemo Bless your heart.

Nah, man. Sack-up and finish your 'nanner.
@medz Seriously. A banana is about four bites. It should be gone before you’re even thinking about it.
@Limewater @medz I’m going to go on record as saying the best part about the banana is the price.
@Targaryen Best part is how convenient it is. Comes in its own protective bag that is easy to open. No rinsing it off required and your hands don’t get sticky.
@medz - Meet the Banana Bunker!
@medz What. The. Fuck.

Are you sure your boss is OK with you discussing your “morning banana” on the forums?
I used to love bananas but for some reason as I’ve gotten older they all seem too mushy and sweet and weird to me. I can’t do them anymore.

You are eating the banana from the wrong end. You are supposed to do what the apes do: open the banana from the blossom end, and eat toward the stem, which serves as a nifty handle to hang on to when you get to the last bite. The blossom end is blah, but gets better as it nears the stem.
Or you could switch to pomegranates.

@medz @rockblossom that banana drawing is kind of disturbing. It looks like a hairy leg.
“Morning fruit” and “Banana fatigue.” I think we’ve been thrust into the euphemism thread.
@pitamuffin my wife prefers her fruit to be seedless
“Everybody go to MorningFruit dot com!”
-Steve Harvey, I think
Follow up question: What do you consider the perfect banana ripeness for you? I like them to have a slight green blush still.
@LeviOhPlz Yellow. Little to no brown. Any green and they’re not sweet enough.
@LeviOhPlz I get them with a bit of green at the top so they’ll ripen in about a day.
@LeviOhPlz I like it with a few brown freckles. Ideally, I’ll eat 2-3 of those and then have 3 beautifully ripened for banana bread.
@becca @LeviOhPlz
Mmm, banana bread…
@LeviOhPlz no brown whatsoever. In fact i prefer green tinge over yellow all over. Once they them completely yellow, they’re too ripe for me.
My father-in-law turned 90 this spring. When someone asks how he’s doing, he likes to say that he doesn’t buy green bananas any more.
@heartny
I cannot imagine this problem. I don’t get bored that easily I guess. Favorite morning fruit is coffee.
@lseeber Definitely.
Sounds like you should try eating greener bananas. Firmer fruit, less sweet, more fiber.
I never get to eat the second half of my morning banana because my toddler steals it. She doesn’t want her own banana, just the remainder of the one I’ve started.

@narfcake I enjoy and hate infomercials and this is a great parody. The tag line most times should be “are you too dumb to do this yourself?” For instance people bought the sideways can opener not realizing that the hand can opener they have at home already does that if you just turn it sideways.
@Targaryen
Gordy: Are you as excited as I’m being paid to be?
Audience: We’re being paid too!
Also, parody? Who said anything about parody?!? Everything Jim Carrey has done on In Living Color has been 100% serious!

Coffee cherries, dried, washed, roasted, ground, and soaked in water.
So just eat half of the banana, toss the other half to another car.
OMG I’m not alone! This exact thing happens to me. Whenever someone asks me if I like bananas, I always say “Well, I like half a banana”.
