Speed Banana Eating

How do you peel so fast?

Twist from middle not peel from top.

Good peeling technique, I think I'll try it. What's the chance of a BTM skip with that method?

 

[thackernerd]

I would do this but I don't have any bananas right now.

Time to do another timing
time: 22.04

Is it better to use fast small bites or larger slower bites?

Guys, can I use a stickerless banana? Or it's forbidden by WSBA(World Speed Banana Association)?

I'm pretty sure stickerless is okay. I always call them the WBA by force of habit; I think World Banana Association sounds cooler.

Average of 5 : 36.61

(43.37), 37.93, 37.39, (32.65), 34.52

Eating 1 was my first attempt ever. Eating 4, I had a really smooth first bite out of the peeling which was also fast. (I use TDM peeling)

Very impressive to do an average of 5. Did you do them all in a few minutes or did you wait half an hour between each one?

I hope my mom got banana's when she went to the store today.

Also,

High potassium levels can disrupt normal heart rhythms. Excess potassium is usually excreted by the kidneys, but if kidneys aren't working well, potassium can build up in the bloodstream.

There it looks like if your kidneys work fine they'll get rid of the excess potassium. But I imagine if you have a ridiculous amount then the kidneys wouldn't be able to cope.

I'm trying to find out how many bananas would provide a toxic dose, but the internet is not being very helpful. One site tells me the lethal injection dose of KCl is 100 milliequivalents (or about 4 g); others tell me that 50-100 milliequivalents every day is a typical amount to get from a diet, and that adults are recommended to get 4.7 g of potassium per day. I've seen people quote numbers anywhere from single digits, to 16-17, to 190, to 400+. Does anyone know how high of an oral potassium dose it would actually take to cause hyperkalemia?

For what it's worth, a banana has about half a gram of potassium.
