Religious question: What color is a banana?

Orange you glad I didn’t say banana?

Yes we have no bananas today!

(If bananas really WERE intelligently designed, wouldn’t the wrapper be edible too?)

Only humans are made in God’s image, my dear Smurf.

No matter what temperature a room is, it’s always room temperature.

Bananas are yellow, mostly.

However, that isn’t their only, or even necessarily primary defining characteristic. Cheese, for example, is also: yellow, mostly, but cheese is not a banana.

A ripe Cavendish? Yellow on the outside, white on the inside. Then it turns brown.

This is a goofy question though. Bananas’ coloration is highly unstable. They go from green to ripe color (possibly yellow or red depending on cultivar) to dark brown very very fast.

Would you think less of me if I admit that I don’t understand the relevance of the question or how it is supposed to link to religion in any way shape or form?

All I am sitting here wondering is if a Buddhist Banana is Pink, a Muslem Banana is Polka Dotted, A Christian Banana is Orange, a Jewish Banana is Watermelon and a Baha’i Banana has rainbow stripes.

Am I stupid, unimaginative or just plainly clueless about religion?

Or ask Google.

Can’t help feeling there’s a ‘gotcha!’ marching our way with ill-deserved confidence (and probably, relevance).

(Bold added.)
No, you’re just plainly clueless about fruit. How could ANY banana be a watermelon? :dubious:

I don’t know, but I really want one right now.

At any given time, most bananas in existence are (a perhaps yellowish) green, no?

Red.

Or yellow. Or green. Or brown.

I came to this conclusion because I had several banana plants in my front yard for a few years. One produced red bananas. I thought they weren’t as sweet as the yellow ones. I like mine not quite ripe, though, so when they get just past ripe, I made banana bread or smoothies. It wouldn’t take much for someone to convince me that there was such a thing as a purple banana. That person would only have to show me a picture, and explain what variety it is and if it’s a man-made hybrid grown for specific culinary niche, or if it’s a found-in-nature variety that lives on Madagascar or something.

A lot of fruits can be more than the one color that we North Americans typically associate with that fruit. There is more than just One True Banana™.

Thread point fail.

No there is not! And I am your king!

God knew the important role the banana peel would one day play in comedy. Obviously.

A banana is banana colored. The color is banana.

A banana is also banana flavored. The flavor is banana.

To descibe the color of banana is like trying to describe the flavor of banana.

Banana is Banana. There is no what or why. There is only Banana.

This is the Zen of Banana.

It’s yellow dammit, now get to the point!

Does a plantain have banana-nature?
