That makes me very sad, because my favorite B&J flavor is Chunky Monkey.
Oh, I don’t think it’ll affect Ben & Jerry’s supply of monkeys…

There’s no wrong way to eat a rhesus.
Lick the alphabet, I always say.
I think this was more of an outdoor phenomenon, back when municipal trash collection and trash cans in public places outdoors were not such standard urban amenities as we now expect. I’ve certainly read a lot of early 20th-c references to somebody slipping on a banana peel “on the sidewalk”, specifically.
Also, that’s how the banana peel gets so slippery, once it’s sat there a day or so and the inner skin starts to go slimy-rotten. Peel a skin right off a fresh banana and toss it on the ground and it won’t be much of a slipping hazard at all. Let it rot down a bit, and yeah, very much so.
If I might hijack this thread about banana peels with a story about a stupid MFer in the news, rapper Wiz Khalifa is now a wanted man in Romania after smoking weed onstage during a concert in 2024 and no-showing his jail sentence, and cannot enter the EU without risking extradition.
Meh, of course it was stupid to openly smoke weed in a country where it’s illegal, but I don’t have any outrage for it because I think it should be legal everywhere. Maybe he should have smoked dried banana peels, I’ve heard it’s just as good. 
That’s why it’s in the stupid thread, not the evil thread.
"Quite right, SLICK…", to match the a-peel-ing hijack.
Are you the (Magilla) gorilla my dreams?
Hey! As my gardening friend’s tee shirt says:
“All plants are edible.”
“Some only once.”
How about an anvil?
Go back far enough and most of the sidewalks were wooden. Concrete is rougher, which works against the slide.
Unfortunately, that is an urban myth. I gave it a try as a teenager. Think it comes from “The Anarchists Cookbook”, a early 70s book of dubious veracity.
I tend to not eat the same plant a second time, as it’s no longer appetizing once I digest it.
Not everyone ruminates.
Long, long ago I read an article of an experiment to determine the hallucinogenic properties of smoked banana peels. The researchers had to go through a literal ton of bananas to get enough to test and the results were very mild, not worth the effort was the conclusion.
A big chunk of the article was what to do with a ton of bananas. You can eat only so much banana bread. Even the birds refused to eat it after a while – no toucans available – and the bulk of it wound up in a landfill.
Even if they cud?
That was…awesome.
