Why does the rest of my lunch taste like banana?

Question

I noticed that when I eat my packed lunch (sandwich in a sandwich baggie, chips/crackers in a baggie, and a banana), anything not sealed in a "from-the-store" bag ends up tasting like the banana!! Why is that?

Answer 1

put the banana in a sealed baggie by itself

Answer 2

I have eggs, bread, bananas, apples, and yogurt to work with. Also peanut butter and jelly. How can I make this into a good lunch? I'm not going grocery shopping 'til tomorrow. :) You can make: 1.) Smoothie - bannanas and yogurt 2.) Fried egg 3.) Egg sandwhich 4.) PB & J sandwhich

Answer 3

The banana is giving off fumes. Put it in a separate bag.

Answer 4

The bananas have strong juju my friend....do not cross the banana...

seriously, when you put the B in the paper bag, it started to ripen up and all the ripening gasses permeated the other food.

Answer 5

bacause it is not sealed.. and the banana gives away some banana smell and the food that is not sealed "sucks" it into itself.

Answer 6

Bananas have a lot of oils in them that can saturate everything else.

Answer 7

try packing your banana away from the rest of your food in a banana guard,

yes, someone went and invented it first, doh
