In an experimentally controlled zero-gravity vacuum, bananas are straight.

On their home planet, Bananas form perfect toroids and maintain neutral buoyancy in the atmosphere.

The toroidal banana drift regime of neoclassical diffusion in helical solenoids

Abstract

The processes of transport in helical solenoids are considered within the framework of neoclassical diffusion theory. The banana kinetic equation is used to determine the diffusion fluxes of particles and heat in the toroidal banana drift regime (super banana diffusion) for the case of effective collision frequencies lower than the banana precession frequency.

Oh no: the bananas are back!

Never left.

Surely they're al brown by now, not fit for anything but compost or banana cake - same thing.

We use cryogenics on this thread, no brown bananas.

if you want to see brown bananas monbon, you should become a dorks supporter

you'll see 18 of them on the field every week

There's brown bananas, and there's brown bananas, but then there's the ones that have rotted on the inside first.

put one on the table, bends to the right

flip it over, bends to the left

your mission if you accept it, is to determine why

What happens if you turn the table? Does that reverse the banana's polarity?

Yes, yes I do and stating that it's odd IS judging.... Jerk. 🤣

You have an awesome sense of humour.

I had until now. What about the crazy maze? Or was it Krazy maze, is it still around?

Also haven't seen the pepermint crisp around. My mom used to smash it up and decorate the old Pavlova. 

I also remember the Coleman's chips showbag. Bags were all under a dollar and were good value.

‘Tis still around, Deeves. It’s just had a name-change. It’s called a curly wurly now and has been so for many years.

Peppermint crisps are also still around, as are a personal favourite of mine, Peppermint Patties. Chocolate and mint = a marriage made in heaven. And not a marriage that only lasts a few years as is the norm nowadays, but a marriage like that of one’s grandparents: ‘til death do they part.

Your right. I had a curly wurly about a year ago. I do remember the pepermint patties as well. ( green wrap) I think it was the sister treat to the old coconut roughs.

We're probably showing our age with these posts but what a treat to go to the " milk bar" and buy a 10 cents bag of mixed lollies. Sherbet bombs, musk sticks, false teeth, mates, jaffas, freckles, milk bottles,  ( yuk) and even the odd fan tale thrown in.

I found the peppermint patties very ordinary, sort of soggy, but the peppermint crisp is a beauty. 

I also remember the good old days of collecting bottles to return to the milk bar. Coke, Leeds and Fanta. I lived in St Kilda and there were lots to get. I stacked all my bottles down the side of the house waiting until I had achieved a certain fiscal outcome.

Then one day the price of return went from 10 to 20 cents overnight.

My portfolio had doubled in a heartbeat.  Oh happy days.

Yea but price wise they were good value. The kind of item when you didn't have enough funds to buy a fully fledged chocolate bar.
