We used to call it “swamp water” haha, and yeah it didn’t matter how green and brown it was, you could put a teaspoon of orange crush in there and it just took over
There's a more advanced option beyond the Suicide: Toxic Waste (or maybe it was called nuclear waste), where you add in every single possible freebie beyond just the sodas. Like at a 7-eleven: all the sodas, plus slurpee, ketchup, mustard, cheese, chili, sugar, salt, pepper, relish, every coffee flavor and creamer flavor, teas, and so on (i forget what else they have)
The first time I went to a summer youth basketball camp at a small university the program director sat us all down before lunch on the first day and laid out the restrictions on soda suicides in the dining hall. Only 3 sodas max, don’t dump it out, be courteous of people being you, etc. This was a grown ass man, had the fucking soda fountain rules memorized for some summer gig to a group of like 50 kids. As a 9 year old I was baffled even back then that this was necessary.
That feeling never really went away now that I think about it.
So what you’re saying is, if you like banana, have only a single one, and only have a smoothie of fruits you don’t like, you wait until it’s fully brown and then blend it?
One of my favorite smoothies is banana, blueberry, peanut butter, spinach, carrot, and milk. Between the banana, peanut butter, and blueberry, you can't taste anything else.
was gonna say peanut butter is about the same. Put it in a smoothie and it will drown most the other flavors out. It’s nice if you want to taste peanut butter but not as nice if you just add it for calories/protein
I actually like bananas by themselves or in banana bread, but I really dislike them with most other foods. Banana milkshakes and splits is a definite no for me. Also when they get overripe they penetrate through everything. I've wound up with banana flavored flour tortillas because they were sitting on the counter leaning against the package.
This guy gets it. One time I ordered mango smoothies and the barista was like I'm sorry we're out of banana. And I just said please make it without the banana then. I thought "it's not a banana smoothie it's a mango smoothie, I don't want banana in it anyway". Yeah the smoothie came out as ice with a hint of mango flavor 🫤
Isn’t the flavor of a banana not even the “true” taste. Ik we basically selectively bred bananas to be “seedless” and have more meat to the fruit but I cannot remember if it altered the taste as well.
u/SnoopyScone, there weren't enough votes to determine the quality of your post...
Like Orange Soda in what we used to call a Suicide when you mixed all the sodas from the soda machine.

It was Orange Dr Pepper. Mix Orange Soda and doctor pepper and you get the classic "suicide" flavor.

I just KNOW that 7-11 clerk stayed up traumatized by what you just described 😭

A true terror to society
If it’s anything like the 711 near my house they’ve seen worse lmao
Idk man. I feel like it’s hard to top that abomination lol
This sounds like it would have drastic consequences
In middle school my friends and I would get as much food as we could and mix it all together to see who could take the most shots of it
my friends always gave me shit about only mixing the colas/root beers, then they'd turn around and complain that theirs was 90% fruit flavor.
We called it a “graveyard” in my town

we used to call it alien pee juice as kids
When I was a little kid and didn't know they had a recognized name, I called them Snowflakes, because each one was unique.
I'm sure I got the name from my older sister. It was the kind of thing I would mostly do on long road trips at AM\PM
I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that many sodas have citric acid as an ingredient

Nice and crunchy
I took a screenshot and putting it on my MySpace
Don't even get me started on a thumb sized piece of ginger...
I was going to say cumin.
Cilantro for me and my baby tongue
Makes me wonder what I've been doing wrong, because I could take 15 bananas and add 1 strawberry and it's a strawberry smoothie.
The flavour gets stronger as it ripens, so it depends on when you use them.

This is what bacon does to any sandwich ever
The MDMA of fruits.
No matter how many fruits are in the smoothie, if you add drugs in it, it's "drugged smoothie".
Bananas are like that one friend who always takes over the conversation, no matter who else is talking
Same thing with Coconut.

It’s literally been the opposite in my smoothie experience. Banana doesn’t tend to impart much of its own flavor to the whole deal
A screenshot of a tweet of a screenshot of a YouTube comment. Peak Reddit.
This is straight up not how it works, like it's literally the opposite.
Banana is the very mild baseline which everything rides over the top off.
Add 300g of banana to a smoothie then add 4 berries and it's a berry smoothie
Add 1 single blueberry and the smoothie is purple now
I disagree completely. I avoid any smoothie that has any banana in it at the smoothie places because I know it is only going to taste like banana.
And then you go to the smoothie place and like 95% of them contain banana
Yup, really narrows down my options.
Every person I know that hates banana in a smoothie says they avoid bananas in smoothies because it cuts through everything.
Which ofc, I find hilarious because I made daily smoothies for about 3 years and put Spinach and bananas in - rarely (if at all) tasted either
Depends. If you have a very strong aversion to the taste of banana you will DEFINITELY taste it.
Than why are those people still putting bananas in their smoothies?
Don't ask me, but I sure as hell don't want banana in my smoothie.

For reasons unknown to science or god I read baseline as if it rhymed with vaseline.
Also try juicing a banana. Ya can't
I have nipples, Greg. Could you milk me?
Don’t get me started on cranberries!!

This is like, the exact opposite of the truth, surely? Most smoothies aren't called banana smoothies but they pretty much all contain banana.
Disagree. Bananas go in every smoothie. They're a good base because their flavor isn't overpowering.
“I like to put a banana in there! It really gives it that banana taste!” - American Dad
I disagree. With other fruits and protein powder I don't even taste the banana.
Everything else is just berries.
Same for urine.
That was a fruit smoothie. Now it’s a piss shake
It's the Corgi of fruits ...
