I fucking hate you green bananas. I hate your hardness and gross not-ripe taste and how you make me gag. Then all of a sudden all seven of you are ripe and want to be eaten at the same time then tomorrow the uneaten ones are in my freezer waiting to become banana bread that I’ll never make. Now I’m right back to where I started, with no bananas. And the only option is to buy more green bananas. Maybe a bit more planning would work but that would involve a twice- weekly trip to the grocery store which I’m not down with. And seriously, if I was into planning ahead I’d figure out something better to do than making a bacon hole. Fruit companies get your shit together. Fuck the bees, fix the banana situation. -Kirk P.

They do have their uses:

Op just put some of them in a paper bag, sealed. They will ripen faster than the others.
Or put em in the freezer and one or two in the fridge.. now as you eat em take one out the the freezer and put it in the fridge that way you have a rotation going. Common shelf life tactic at your local grocery stores… just usually not for fresh fruit.
You should have the jolly green giant look into your banana dilemma.
If you wrap saran wrap tightly around the top of the bananas (where they are joined together) they will last a week or so and slowly ripen. Take two or three off the bunch before you wrap them and they will ripen quicker for you to enjoy. By the time you finish those bananas… the wrapped ones will start to ripen to your desired state of ripeness. It works. Check it out!
Are you a boomer, if so, go and get a SET to bring you bananas, they can put them in their man purse on the 52.
Why are you buying more bananas than you can eat, OP?
