I'm sure the other mob here have heard some other theories.....this one sorta makes sense to me
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
