That is a cool banana trick DawgHouse Jun 2015 #5

Did he say to put the dryer on the cool setting? Kingofalldems Jun 2015 #9

That's probably okay if your blow dryer doesn't have a 'Banana' setting. nt pinboy3niner Jun 2015 #10

The rice works as an antioxidant and pulls out any excess moisture from the banana. Then the blow dryer artificially simulates thermogenesis by speeding up the retro-fermentation process by activating the polyphosphates and preservatives which essentially reverse-ages the banana. This only works with conventional store bought bananas that use various herbicides, polyphosphates and pesticides.

But I have to think positive, so all I'll say is that the green is a particularly lovely shade.

Because now he has a lot of banana skin flavored rice that probably taste awful. And he has spent quite a bit of energy using that hair dryer.

Plus - who wants to eat a hot banana?

This is a fun science project to try, but that is as far as I would take it.
