those apple bananas aren't fully ripe, if you let them ripen more they will taste like strawberries
They're delicious, but are a pain in the anus to tell when ripe. And if you wait too long, they'll lose flavor. I honestly don't know when they're ready to eat.
nakrul987 i love these
banana smells like a pumpkin, tastes like apples if it's more ripened it'll taste like strawberries! Fruit salad banana y'all.
I’ve only had them once. We bought a bunch of them from a coffee plantation in Hawaii. They planted them as windbreaks and just sold the fruit to tourists who were touring the coffee plantation. We just left them in the car and they were marvelous they never went brown and they were delicious for the entire week we were there.
Nakrul987 , you are thinking of dwarf Brazilian aka Hawaiian apple which gets a strawberry shortcake flavor, the manzano apple banana is different and taste like green apple jolly rancher and top teir banana flavor! Both are absolutely incredible and I have both! Mysore has a candy tartness aswell and those 3 strains are my favorite bananas that I can grow in zone 8b where no one else is growing bananas!
I Think a sign of a great channel is that for about 14+ minutes I watched someone eat a type of fruit I don't even like.
This has to be one of the best April Fools I've seen.
Totally fell for it.
I’m dumb. I’ve been sharing this for two days
I love how he also gets to subtly shit on the cavendish banana while we’re all distracted too 😂
Taste like apples and smell like apple.Should be very ripe to taste good.The red banana taste like peach.I have the variety in my yard in Puerto Rico.
This is a kids magic trick I learned from a book, you take a toothpick slice the banana and all you leave is a hole where it went in. Edit you did not fool me 6:26 i saw the juice come out, Apirls foooooools
Haha yeah I learned it from when I was a kid too. Its surprisingly effective on people though.
I didn't even notice that you sold the trick so hard, the banana was with all the others, and you were laughing weird, that's the only thing that tipped me off. Watching it a second time your patter is very agreeable.
Brian Roberts Thanks! I've been performing a long time making it convincing is more important than the trick itself
Well I believed it 😂 wouldn't surprise me
needle you use a needle not a toothpick
Pre-sliced Banana: the best thing since pre-sliced bread
I've seen pre peeled bananas....
@@onlockmobileskateshop113 That’s ridiculous lol, prepeeled, bananas go brown within a few hours I would think. Maybe it’s different whole.
I like them sliced thin and dehydrated.
2:20
*smack smack smack smack smack smack smack* " A P P L E S."
damn that segmented banana bit actually got me good, really genuine reaction. nice job
I can never tell when he's lying.
@@vernaute2803 maybe he's always lying🤔
got me bro. ive even see somebody do this before but i heard once that bananas are heavily modified so i fell for it
Damn, you're a really good actor, that seemed like a genuine reaction to that segmented banana, you should be in movies
The pre sliced banana probably would’ve gotten me if I wasn’t reading the comments
you got me, I was fooled. I was googling to ry and learn more about that segmented banana. lol
Kelly Richardson that makes me so happy. haha :)
Pre sliced bread was popularized by the world war because it's saved Housewives time and gave a more consistent cut. So it was that much less work to do at home when they had to get off to the factories to build war materials
I'm watching a ton of your videos today and I actually fell for this.
You only got me cuz it's not April fool's LOL
Man, I was showing everybody that pre-cut banana and only saw it was an April fools joke days later. I got got! Good one!!
Everyone hates on the Cavendish banana. When they are good they are still one of my favorites. I love the texture.
You literally convinced me that there are genetically modified, pre-sliced bananas.
Want to do your own banana comparison? You can have a box of weird banana varieties shipped to you by my friends over at Miamifruit, use the link below and promo code WEIRDEXPLORER to get 5% off!
miamifruit.org/products/banana-variety-box?aff=24
you should try what is called a pink banana. bananas that are small and pink.
Do they ship to Germany ?
You had me soso on the sliced banana, i was skeptical but stuff like that sometimes does get made so i couldn't be certain, other thing is i didn't hear about a trend on this 4 years ago like id expect i would if this was real
There are many wild banana varieties in the forests of North-Eastern India...Most of those banana fruits are non-edible & full of seeds.
I had seen a version of the slice the banana trick on the cover of a Ripley's Believe it or Not book back in the 70s. Their version involved needle and thread. As soon as I saw the slices I thought of it. A banana which grew with natural slices should be withered and small, and probably rotten because the fruit is broken and the nutrients aren't going through it.
Good Ol Ripleys. Yeah that trick is a classic.
I think I first saw it on How 2 in the 90s ^-^ wasn't fooled, but super fun! =) x
Unfortunately I've come to be too suspicious about anything on April Fool's Day, so I knew it had to be a joke. BUT you were very convincing in your lie. You presented it exactly as you always do so if I wasn't so cynical, I'd probably have fallen for it. Having said all that, I was trying to figure out if banana #1 and #3 were also fake. :)
Haha yeah me too. I'm always extra skeptical on April 1st. Yeah I was hoping those other bananas would be good misdirection for the fake one 😂
Good episode! You had me debating with myself whether or not to try those self-slicing bananas.
It's not necessarily strange or rare, but if you want an apple that has a background banana flavor, try an opal apple. The store-bought organic ones I've had have that quality. Thanks for the video, and congrats on 10k subscribers!
Brian Thompson thanks Brian!
My parents told me that they used to pull that trick every once in a while when they owned a corner shop. They also had a lot of customers who would squeeze things before buying them, so they got some squeaky veg to hide in the produce.
Was expecting a horrific blood-curdling scream saying "HELP ME, MY SKIN, MY SKINNN, KILL ME" when you opened that banana up close and talk about it for so long
unless someone shows me otherwise, the sliced banana was modified with the needle trick that I learned on Zoom year and years ago...
We have apple bananas here in Maine and they are a favorite of children especially in lunch boxes. We also have red bananas and baby bananas and all of these can be found in the regular grocery store of decent size here.
The way you spoke about the second banana was very convincing! Can't wait to try that one out. Good video as always, and congrats on 10k subs!
thanks!
You totally fooled my entire family...me, my 5 yr old AND my engineer husband!!!! Love it esp since we are just this year teaching our 5 yr old about April Fools...now he gets it! Thank you!
I don't know how you ended up in my suggested videos but I'm glad you did I subbed and been watching your videos all day thank you
I like it when our hero tells us to go to the market and look for interesting things.
Totally got me lol. Good stuff as always!
Haaaa! Dang it you got me! (in my defense I just drove from VA to WV and spent the day checking out old mines and then drove BACK to VA) I totally went through my house showing that clip to everyone in my family! Happy day lol. Thanks for the laugh 😂❤
Thanks, glad to hear it :)
Haha!! I was thinking, "Why would they spend resources developing that? Anybody that can buy bananas surely can also buy a knife. Hell, even a spoon works. How lazy is society going to get?"
Nice one. You got me.
aww you got me with that second banana! lol
There is an apple that tastes like a banana. It is an heirloom variety of apple. A side by side comparison would be interesting with the banana that tastes like an apple.
Your channel is awesome. Hope it keeps growing.
Thanks!
Bananas is often used as potatoes when they are still green and those we (in europe) buy as a fruit (not a fruit I know) are all cloned
When I was a kid I learned that you can take a threaded needle and cut a banana into slices under the skin from 'corner' to 'corner' reusing the same hole in as out all around as a way to prank people.
Your acting was spot on. Got me good.
you totally got me genetic modifications are only getting crazier
:D
I remember an episode of mr wizard where someone did that with a needle and thread
Oh man, I loved Mr Wizard!!
That "Stick" banana is just a giant Cavendesh
Nice into, that shot of downtown Spokane. I haven't even watched the rest of the video, had to stop and check.
The uneven knife marks @6:45 gave it away. Pretty neat trick. 😄
The Apple banana would be interesting to use when I make banana bread.
'Apple bananas are also sometimes labeled manzana bananas - "manzana" is Spanish for "apple". The ones I get where I live are not quite ripe until the peel splits lengthwise - then they are at their best, sweet and delicious. Much better than a Cavendish.
And the self-slicing banana didn't make any sense to me, because there is no internal structure in bananas that could be modified to do that - so I didn't believe it, but I thought Jared believed it.
I grew up eating Apple Bananas. These bananas don't look fully ripped. It would taste so much better if it was .
Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameran sent me year to see proof of intelligent design. How else could a banana slice itself?
I am from brazil , here this variety (apple banana) is kinda more expensive ,about double of the price of a regular one .it's diffidently my favorite kind, you should try letting the peel get some little black spots it's even sweeter that way
Wagner Gauer agree
I’m in Brazil now, really enjoying the bananas. I’ve been eating several a day lol.
You kinda got me with your joke. When you first peeled it and revealed the slices, I said WHAT?! out loud and you were very convincing. Then I noticed the video was published on April 1st, so I thought maybe it could be an April fools day prank, but I wasn't sure. lol Good one!
Hahaha you fooled me!! I was waiting for "April fools" from you though because I couldn't believe or understand it
My dad showed me that trick using a needle when I was little. Even so, you did have me for a moment.
awesome :)
I remember when I was younger my grandparents did that pre sliced banana thing to me and my cousins :)
Hey, I absolutley love your cannel !
es you got me :D your channel is so informative!
Until now I thought there was just only one "kind" of banana in exsistence! Next I`m going to watch your series from the start!
Embarrassed to say that the banana prank got me...good job.
Congratz on 10k!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you!
That pre sliced banana was crazy asf!
Have you reviewed any barberries?
Wolfberry?
I have not watched every episode yet.
Enjoying your insight on all the fruit of the world.
Richard Lozano I haven't yet :)
www.ecolandscaping.org/09/invasive-plants/eat-your-invasives/
Interesting article about how early settler of the United States made jelly with barberry fruit.
Maybe a episode of you walking the countryside or suburbs and tasting what you find? lmkyt Your Paw-paw episode made me soooo want to taste one badly. I'm obsessed getting my hands on one this year.
my favorite fruit from childhood was Loquats, just so loquacious are they. I would spend hours gorging on them as a small boy in Campbell, California, coming down only when I had to RUN to the bathroom. haha!
Thank you, thank you keep up the good videos.
PS - my wife thinks your cute! haha! 😉
yup, you did fool me with the pre-sliced one, because i love scifi and have a bit of idea where genetic research is at, so i imagined splicing a bit of... bean (or ...other sources i don't want to think about), a piece of dna which causes segmentation in these kinds of tubular shapes. you would splice it somewhere to cause the soft white peel to create few-cells thin layers not only between the peel and the meat, but also at regular intervals, how other plants/animals have in their structure. And i'd say that's perfectly doable nowadays, except nobody yet decided that would be a profitable gimmick, probably =D
COTTON CANDY GRAPES ARE GOD TIER!!! THEY ARE NOT JUST A GIMMICK!!! Haha glad you said you'd buy them again cause they people need to buy more so the growers keep coming out with them!
I saw a magic show when I was a kid, over 40 years ago, that demonstrated how to slice a banana in its skin. I expect that is what is really happening here.
They probably stuck a toothpick or sewing needle in the banana and sliced it. It's also a technique used in magic tricks
People from Latin American countries call the first one you describe manzanos, or plátanos manzanos, which translates to apple banana. Mexicans make fritters out of them...they mash them and mix them with flour, and little salt, and some baking powder. Then fry them in deep fat and then sprinkle with powdered sugar and cinnamon, which produces something akin to an apple fritter.
I have known how to do that for years, 😂. I have learned one thing, though. If he gives the banana a bad review, that means I would like it. Our tastes in bananas are completely opposite. 😂😂
I saw the Patreon video last night, so I knew what was coming, and the long buildup was killing me. I just wanted to see how it looked. I think you sold it really well, except there was a little bit of banana that squirted out of the pinhole as you were opening it. I'm not sure how that could have been avoided, but it did kind of give away that the peel had been compromised. Although, I don't know if I would have noticed it if I wasn't in on the joke.
Yeah I noticed that too after filming and figured nobody would really notice. So far seems to be true :)
I found one of these in my sisters drawer. It smelt really weird and was kind of sticky. why hasn't she eaten it yet?
Wolven Avalanche how old are you; or were you?
Or is this a joke? Cuz I have an idea what it was.
I was 14 when I made this joke, I'm now 37 4 weeks after making it.
Watched this on April 9th, not realizing it was published April 1st.
When you got to the sliced banana, I watched for a minute or so with great interest, but when you observed how even the slices were, something clicked & I felt an immediate need to check the publishing date...
Haha good to hear
Have you ever tried popoulu bananas from Hawaii?
www.bananas.org/wiki/Musa_Popoulu
I haven't! Those look very interesting though
You got me with that one man. Hey, what's the best banana?
I saw it at 6:15, LOL! It wasn't April when I saw it. Thx 4 the fun!
I remember Mr. Wizard showed how to slice a banana without peeling it, with a needle and thread.
Apple bananas have to be reaally ripe to taste well. It sticks on the teeth, if not ripe enough. But they are my favorite ones. Really soft and with a lot of flavor!
Hi
I'd recommend you going to Papua New Guinea ,the fruit over there is extremely diverse with many varieties not found anywhere else.
Happy Travels.
Knee something was up by the tone of your voice when you started talking about it being genetically modified. Granted the first thing i thought of was that dumb kiwi banana thing that went around, though xD
That is a kind of loose-knit name for that shape of banana. The ones I was used to in Hawaii. They have a slightly astringent tang with most of them. If you want an interesting kind, try the Cuban Red and let it get ripe. Many of the cavendish variety that you currently get are likely to be genetically modified. Most of them are too sweet, even when they are green. They have been plagued with banana disease and since most of them are clones of the same plant, they are susceptible to mass die-offs. They have added genes from other species. In Hawaii there was a lot of emotion about the pig-genes that were put in papayas.
lol that totally got me. I'm used to you being serious in your videos and I didn't check the date until the end of the video.
5 years later and you
still fooled me!
There is a local Mexican mercado that has them sometimes. I'm in TN.
The banana seems like a trick I did when I was a kid. I used a pin and went through the peel and sliced it with the the pin with only a pinhole showing.
Definitely an old April fools trick. Had me excited right until you opened it up. I was expecting something potentially real like a banana that is brown inside or something weird like that. :P
Definitely...your acting was good. And since it's an old video, I didn't know what day it was.
I grow these. The apple hint is green sour apple flavor.
wonder if it's a stick banana because it's got a straightened part they can put a stick through for choco bananas?
pre-sliced banana is an old trick. to make each slice push a needle through the skin, then move it side to side
the needle marks are visible 6:14
At first I thought you had just bought a banana that someone had pre-sliced internally. But I did look it up to see if it was a real genetic modification, before watching the end of the video. Science has brought us stranger things.
They use a needle to cut the meat
I was given a book of magic tricks when I was in elementary school and it showed how to use a needle and thread to cut a banana like this.
This is obviously an april fools joke
Yeah, I remember the magic trick from books I read when I was a kid.
An April fools joke, indeed.
HAha! Good one. That ending was bananas.
Lady Finger bananas are a South Pacific variety of Musa acuminata. they are much smaller than Cavendish and softer but a big advantage is that they grow in a cooler climate (sub tropical). They are popular in Australia for this reason since many people grow them at home.
that stick banana looked amazing.
You totally tricked my wife and I. We have many bananas growing but still fell for it. Totally forgot it was April Fools day. It seemed totally illogical but with what is happening with GMO these days...maybe. Good job!
haha glad to hear it. Thanks!
Looking like a young Ted Bundy without glasses
I get that a lot. I also get other wholesome characters like Norman Bates and James Deen.
You fooled me even though I learned how to do that trick when I was a kid! 🤣
You should make smoothies with rare fruit with flavors that go well together stuff like this
Go to Illinois in the third week of June and pick some wild black raspberries... They make the best jelly you ever tasted. Also, IF you can find some, wild strawberries in Illinois in mid to late April are great. One very rare banana variety to try if you can find some is called Paggi. best banana I ever had, and I have tried several.
as soon as i saw the second banana open i started to look for needle holes =D
for a brief moment, you can see the evenly spaced bruises down the back
Damn I love the music!
Hahaha The sewing needle trick
simple but effective haha
Not watching this on April fools had me googling this segmented banana! Egg has been slathered onto my visage
Can you mention which market you got the apple bananas please? I live in New York and as much as I like cavendish bananas I could use something different!
Yup you fooled me 😂😂😂😂 i knew a about the trick but i forgot it was april 1 and i never expect you would be a prankster 😝👍🏽
very cool Channel. will be watching other videos later and subscribed. let those bananas ripen up more and you will enjoy them more
you should make an episode where you have 1 of your friends eat a fruit of your blindfolded and unaware of what the selection is and ask his or her opinion on do they think it taste like. you can eve add this fruit in the mix see if they think its an apple or a banana.
The texture would be rather obvious though
You should deep fry the mutant banana.
Love the channel dude, keep it up!
thanks!
