I'm sure the other mob here have heard some other theories.....this one sorta makes sense to me :)
100% correct!!

in fact you can even try this at home get some under ripened tomatos put some in a bolt with banana and put some in a bowl seperated from a banana

the gasses given off by the nana will ripen the fruit close to it quicker than the fruit seperated from it

Yep, I love my bananas..I take a nana fishing for nourishment and energy, I take a banana flavoured up and go also. At times I have put little pieces of banana on my hook as bait and gotten bites. Now that has got to take the cake. Yes, if the wife has baked fresh banana cake I will take 2 big pieces along with me also....bananas are classed as brain food and that is the main reason I eat plenty of them :rofl: :rofl: ... :cheers: :gone: :banana:
