    You’re allowed to put banana’s in the fridge to keep them from going bad.

      Just note: In my experience they usually turn completely black immediately. It’s fine, they still taste however they did when you put them in

        Ah, you have to put them in a drawer so that there isn’t as much airflow.

        *You might note they’re still yellow under the sticker

          I hadn’t, but also I eat them with the sticker on. It’s even made of food safe paper and glue!

          I just peel them with the sticker on and didn’t notice xD Does make sense, though!

              At least in America, yes. Granted, don’t, because there is plastic in it, but the type of plastic is in the General Recognized As Safe (GRAS) category for consumption. Not actually sure if the ones on bananas are, since most people don’t eat the peel, but apples, peaches, etc? Yeah, it legally has to be safe to eat.

                I’m in the EU, and always throw that shit into mixed garbage, unsure if it’s compostable or recyclable plastic.

                  Yeah, y’all have different food laws. I’m assuming the glue is food-safe, since it’s expected to have some residue left on the thing when you eat it, but idk about the stickers themselves, and can’t find anything about either, so… I’m not a lawyer or a nutritionist, idk what I’m talking about :D

      Best just to eat them. Mmm. If you still have some, make banana bread. I just did today.
