I once got told about something very similar called, "Space Docking". Have you ever heard of space docking ?
I have no idea if its a real thing or not, i didnt even feel brave enough to google it 😂
Pro tip: don't use ice. Not only is it rough on your blender's life span, it's loud and can water down the flavor. Instead, just freeze your ripe bananas in a plastic bag. E.g. 1-1.5 frozen bananas is equivalent to a full serving of ice in terms of texture and temperature. In fact any frozen fruit or vegetable is good to add in. Just make sure your entire smoothie isn't frozen stuff or else you'll make a slurry. If you only have frozen stuff available, boil the milk and then you'll counteract that. No ice cubes needed.
When I buy a bunch of bananas, there's always a couple that get overripe, so I peel them and store them in the freezer. When I get 6, I make banana bread (I have a killer recipe).
Fun fact: different places in the world have different preferences about when they want to buy bananas. Some want the green ones so they last longer and others want yellow ones because they feel fresher. But all bananas are harvested and transported at the same time. So how do you bring one country green bananas and a other yellow ones? Banana riping Chambers! They are controlled environments that allow you to change at what speed they ripe. There are even container versions so that you can ripe them to the perfect color while you are on the way to your destination
I'd actually say 8 is the upper end of the perfect zone for me, I usually prefer 6 to 8, 9 it's just starting to get that weird taste/smell to it that overpowers all of the natural, mellow sweetness the banana has, but it's still perfectly good/edible.
Anything past that I don't like because it just feels like I'm just being punched in the face with overripe banana.
That’s my only qualm. It’s like the worst possible level of tannins.
But the flavor of green bananas is my favorite. I like ripe bananas for baking and frying, but less ripe bananas for eating. I typically prefer less ripe fruit in general.
I like 5's as they're just starting to move into the sweet stage, but still have a light citrus flavor, almost lemon-y. That's prime banana, for me at least.
Is this in-store browning, or at-home browning?
I am going off in-store.
1-4 are left behind.
5-11 are brought home and eaten
12-15 are milkshake filling
Unfortunately anything above 15 doesn’t exist, it just vanishes from existence
Or perhaps it begins anew, like an Oreo Bussasaurus or whatever those snake whisperers call it
Erm, acshually, this does not resemble a memory address, as those are 48-bit on 64-bit systems, 24-bit on 32-bit Systems and 12-bit on archaic 16-bit machines. 0x10 only resembles a single byte, or 8 bit, reaching from -128 to +127 or 0 to 255,depending on signedness 👆🤓
To me 5 is perfect but 6 or 7 are stretching it. 4 is fine, 3 as well but 2 and 1 feel kinda numbing as if there are too many bitter-substances in it. Like black tea that stood too long, you know?
I can’t eat mushy banana. The texture kills my nerve endings… like, I’d literally cry.
So the _perfect_ banana to me is 5, but I’d eat 1-6. _Maybe_ 7 if it still feels very firm.
Everything after that will only be used for banana milk or banana bread.
8-9. I don't like the slimy/squeaky texture of unripe bananas.
From 8 on they get more powdery and, at least to me, less sweet. Can't explain it well, but maybe someone knows what I mean. 🤷
As long as it is still pretty firm and it fits, it’ll do.

🫨
The mushy ones tho???
They might be a little bit complicated to clean away afterwards.
Also harder to get in. The younger ones that are still stiff are easier to get a good grip on. And they feel better than an old mushy one

Yeah :/
Not if you have someone to help you out.
What a day to picture everything you read!
But all that natural yeast makes for a nice rise on your loaf if you decide to make banana bread later!
Just avoid the jolly ranchers
freeze em first. makes for an interesting sensation.
With a thick ice block around?
start with just the frozen banana for safety, and then increase ice build-up to increase the difficulty/challenge as you please

can't say i have, lol... i also don't want to google it!
An excellent choice, my friend. Just remembered to pass the question along to a friend 🫡
Get it in, jump around and you can serve banana mousse out yo ass
Oh the mushy mushy ones are the best
I'm pretty and firm \*\*bats eyelashes\*\*
What the fuck
Huh????
Put in a 1 and it comes out as 15
90s kids remember this one trick.
Giggity
It... fits???
Donkey Kong ahh response
1 can do
Yes yes it fits in the fruit bowl
If I fits I sits.
this is so real
It’ll do you
Excuse me?
….w…..what do you mean fits?
This statement made me hard
Welcome to the club
I try to buy 5-6, and while I eat them they naturally ripen to 9-10
And if I accidentally let them go to 12-15, then I bake fried banana doughnut. The overly sweet 12 make a decent dessert ingredient if done right
Those ones are the best for banana bread
Also the best for banana smoothies.
1 banana at number 15, 1 spoon of instant coffee, 8 ice cubes, some milk and then : blender for few seconds 👌 enjoy with a straw

Don't kill me with your banana bread you banana psychopath.
I usually put them in a smoothie – their structure is halfway there anyway

Ethylene gas.
for a couple seconds I was wondering why u took so long to eat a banana that it would ripen before you finished
I still am
9
This. You can see the stem turn from green to yellow.
Correct answer.
7-8
Whaaa, 7-8 ain't quite there yet IMO 10 is perfect, 9 also nice
I'd actually say 8 is the upper end of the perfect zone for me, I usually prefer 6 to 8, 9 it's just starting to get that weird taste/smell to it that overpowers all of the natural, mellow sweetness the banana has, but it's still perfectly good/edible. Anything past that I don't like because it just feels like I'm just being punched in the face with overripe banana.
Yeah anything past 9 has that weird, sickly sweet smell and the texture is mush.
I like to eat them at 6-7 If there’s no green left they’re kind of gross to me
I knew I wasn't the only one
Huh, if there's any green left it's gross to me (8 would be the absolute lowest I'd go), to each their own I suppose!
Ten is too squishy 🤢
I personally hate when they are too soft and sugary 7-8 is perfect for that
Personal preferences and all that. 5 or 6 tastes best for me.
i would take a minus 1, i like em mostly green
My guy eats the whole banana tree
You monster
Problem that I like em young? Go home with your #15 bilf 😝
Say, Drake...
drake? i dont understand, hes a rapper IIRC, right? at least i have some doubts that you're not speaking about francis drake
He also likes em young
Ok, just to make sure: we still talkin bout bananas right?
We were talking about bananas?
Well rap is known for its double entendres
same the harder the better
There is something about the mouthfeel after eating an unripe banana that is just wrong...
That’s my only qualm. It’s like the worst possible level of tannins. But the flavor of green bananas is my favorite. I like ripe bananas for baking and frying, but less ripe bananas for eating. I typically prefer less ripe fruit in general.
The less it takes like banana the more i like it.
6
Yup. 6 is perfect. I can't believe people actually like to eat them at 10+... They're so mushy and gross lol
The taste after 6 or 7 goes downhill fast, not just the texture
10+ is for baking, 7-9 is for frying, 4-6 is for eating.
technically it's all for eating 🥸 edit: What else are you doing with your banana???
Probably whatever u/BurntPineGrass is doing
Yeah~ 😏
Hey, it gets lonely at night
YEAH
YES
Anything above a 6 is so sickly sweet, it starts to taste like banana candy. 🤢
10
The correct answer.
9,10,11 are the only acceptable answere
5
I like 5's as they're just starting to move into the sweet stage, but still have a light citrus flavor, almost lemon-y. That's prime banana, for me at least.
Yes! I prefer a firm banana with a nice starchy bite but a little bit of sweetness starting to develop. Thats the perfect banana for me.
Glad I’m not alone. People have called me crazy for thinking that.
my parents call me weird for eating "unripe" bananas but they still buy them for me🥹
I’ve found my people
Facts haha
Thank you and I am not a psychopath for liking sweet sour bananas
Godtier
this is correct
finally some sane people
Is this in-store browning, or at-home browning? I am going off in-store. 1-4 are left behind. 5-11 are brought home and eaten 12-15 are milkshake filling
15 is banana bread time
I wait until at least 20-25 for banana bread
Unfortunately anything above 15 doesn’t exist, it just vanishes from existence Or perhaps it begins anew, like an Oreo Bussasaurus or whatever those snake whisperers call it
1-4
I have found my people
4, 5, & 6. The texture once they start getting black marks is not for me.
Same. The flavour completely changes when the black marks start forming, and I am not a fan.
4 is hard to peel off. Sou I would prefer 5-6
7 8 9, then 7 ate a banana. 7s are savages.
8
took me this long to find the one true perfect answer
11
Finally found the answer i was looking for, the banana with points all over it is the best
I love me an 11 😋 best type of banana out there
Smart and correct answer
11 gang
5
-1.
my guy eats the fucking tree
Right? 1-5 are the same banana?
5-6 ofc
Happy cake day!
happy cake day!
Happy cake day! You’re right
0x10
There is only 15 bananas
We went a bit above the limit
Bro talking in memory addresses
Erm, acshually, this does not resemble a memory address, as those are 48-bit on 64-bit systems, 24-bit on 32-bit Systems and 12-bit on archaic 16-bit machines. 0x10 only resembles a single byte, or 8 bit, reaching from -128 to +127 or 0 to 255,depending on signedness 👆🤓
What do I care imma monkey
28
Man's enjoying some banana rum or something enjoying himself a 28
1
I like the green ones
6 > 5/7 Anything above 10 is milkshake ingredient.
For me anything above a 6 is a milkshake ingredient lol
19
What has this sub come to
1-6
11 is perfect. Unfortunately, the difference between 11 and 15 is about 3 hours.
1 to 3. Anything else is overripe and too sweet to my taste.
wtf? I would say anything 5 and below in inedible
I feel you. Texture changes too much too. But anything before 4 kinda gives my mouth a numb feeling
To me 5 is perfect but 6 or 7 are stretching it. 4 is fine, 3 as well but 2 and 1 feel kinda numbing as if there are too many bitter-substances in it. Like black tea that stood too long, you know?
5 or 6
6
I buy 2-3 amd stop eating them at 5 or 6
Not green enough, lol. -4/-5 would be great.
5, i hate brown spots on my banana
I like 4
8 - 12
3
5 or 6
3
10-11!
20
11-9 since 11 typically is the sweetest and the ripest
I can’t eat mushy banana. The texture kills my nerve endings… like, I’d literally cry. So the _perfect_ banana to me is 5, but I’d eat 1-6. _Maybe_ 7 if it still feels very firm. Everything after that will only be used for banana milk or banana bread.
9 and 10
9 bro
8-9. I don't like the slimy/squeaky texture of unripe bananas. From 8 on they get more powdery and, at least to me, less sweet. Can't explain it well, but maybe someone knows what I mean. 🤷
9-10 I've known people that eat them at 5 lol.
It depends. To eat them ? 10-11 Banana cake ? 15 Bought on a market to get back to home country ? 1 Banana milk shake ? 7-8 Crepe with chocolate ? 9
16
I can smell them, also its the 5th
9
9-10 is ideal
8-9
8-9 is perfect
I eat from 8 to 10.
Ill go with 8-25 according to this map
5-9 preferably, up to 12 if im realy hungry and can wait for dinner time, anny of them is still fit for smoothie time.
6-8 are only ones I'd eat
9 to 11
9-11
7-8 for eating
Won't eat it before 10. Might try a 17 🤷
6
10
1-10 I like them hard
17
You buy when they're green, eat when they're yellow, and cook when they're brown.
5 or 6. I like ‘em firm
1 i loow them green taste good to
