Disturbing red banana goes viral due to “fungus” inside
After over 15 thousand upvotes and hundreds of comments later, the internet has been left baffled as questions fly in for the poster as they provide more information.
“Alright everyone, I did NOT eat it with the peel on, I broke it in half to inspect it after I noticed it looked weird on its tip lol,” the author said.
“The interesting part is that this one banana in particular was way slower in ripening than the rest of the bunch. It was smaller as well,” they said.
“It was weirdly small and that brown/orange thing (which is hard btw) was spread across the whole fruit,” the author said giving even more details,” the poster said.
“That’s Mokillo. You should notify the place where you got the banana,” a commentor said as many claimed it was some type of fungus.
“Holy sh*t. Some fungus then? Google says it’s not harmful though, fortunately. I was worried because I did eat the rest of the bananas sitting beside this one,” the author responded.
Some people even suspected it had been posted by a bot, so they posted a further image to confirm, featuring one of the non-believing commenters’ usernames on it.
Whether or not the Banana was harmful is certainly peculiar. In another strange happening, YouTuber Casey Neistat has discovered a massive sinkhole beneath a NYC sidewalk.
