Speed Banana Eating

[Specs112]

21.18 First try, key is to do it in small-medium sized bites and swallow quickly. Try not to choke lol. Doing it in one or two bites takes too much chewing time.

Chewing is for the weak.

Without a doubt. O and btw, what ripeness of banana is the best? You'd think that an overripe banana would be the best because it's so soft, but they taste awful. Opinions?

Personally I think a firm fully yellow banana is the best. With an overripe banana there is the chance of throwing up from the mushy texture. I don't want to throw up on my stackmat have to clean it up.

Does th size of the banana count? I could get small one at my grocery store

Chewing is for the weak.

Amen.

Eat banana solving, it seems insane!

Maybe it is insane...
But people think cubers are insane too, so who cares!

Maybe, but bananas *are* pretty soft.

I'm kinda considering trying this later. Unlike emolover I think I'm going to try to do the first step with the Monkey method. I've used it before (not for speed though) and it should work pretty well. Not sure about the rest of the solve, I guess I'll work on that when I get there

This is how I peel bananas. Although Its probably not faster than emolover's method, I think it is a little more stable.

I picked up a banana but it's not quite ripe :| So I'll wait a day for my attempt.

Incidentally, here's a guy who ate almost 30 bananas a day for a month with no ill consequences: http://www.nomeatathlete.com/fruitarian-experiment/. So the fatal limit is definitely way over that, for those who are wondering.

I tried this without timing myself and I think I failed...

The girl watching me on oovoo was so confused

I'll be updating this post every day with my times. At least the days I do an attempt at this.


43.37, 37.93, 37.39, 32.65, 34.52, 29.02, 30.68, 29.24, 28.70, 25.06, 24.79, 27.14, 25.87, 24.99, 26.89, 29.52, 29.33, 26.19, 26.62, 25.66, 27.02, 23.22

Wow, thanks for that article, I read the whole thing. Even though I would really want to, I probably wouldn't last a week on fruits and veggies alone.

you would be surprised! I just got a bunch of fruits and veggies in bulk and feel very well (Been only a week though)
A 20 pound bag of carrots at cosco is 4$

The carrot consumption went from 2-3 a day the first day to 5-6 I would have probably eaten more per day if I wasn't running low.

Just got 1:14.41. It was a big banana too. If I can get some small bananas and speed up peeling (took ~15-20 this try maybe?), I can probably get sub-45.
Note: I'm using the monkey technique.

I got a 23.01 on my first try. Later I will do a video-taped solve. I can easily get sub-20.

My friend at school tried this during lunch, and he was ridiculously fast (At least faster than me)
He didn't time it, but I think it was around 20 seconds.

 

[Specs112]

I keep forgetting to buy bananas. When I do, I will time a solve.

 

[aaronb]

20.06 on video, I will upload it sometime today. (New WSBA WR!)

I laughed soo hard when watching the video. P.S. The good stuff starts at about 40 seconds in.

 

[qqwref]

First try, 59.44 XD Not exactly a natural at this, but it was kinda fun.

Event ideas:

Banana solve
Banana OH
Banana with feet
Banana multinotBLD (time limit 5 minutes)
Blended banana solve
Banana peel solve

I want banana solve to be a mystery event at rapidash open.

Edit: Just thought I'd post this.
