I would have never thought of that. My ability to cook bananas on my back was not on the radar. However, still suspect it is sweat due to flavor issues. As a puertorrican person, I have eaten massive amounts of cooked bananas and plantains, they do not taste like that...

That sounds like it could be poisonous though.. Latex is not something you want on your mouth.

You SIR are a freaking genius! I have a banana hammock and that would actually be feasible for rides that are 100+ miles where I take 3 to 4 bananas.

also, some people wrap it up for protection. As for me, I don't mind it getting a little bruised up.
I hate to get my back pocket full of nasty stuff. It happens a lot with GU when I cannot discard them while riding....
