BANANANANANANANANAS

We all know what bananas are, and it's hard to imagine that they were exotic once, but Chiquita Bananas is the proof that they were once a novelty. This song was actually a commercial in the '40s sung by Monica Lewis. It was the first news of a banana is the west. This song arouses many questions among which are:

Why shouldn't you put bananas in the fridge?
Well basically the skin of a banana is made up of cellular tissue. This tissue contains phenolic compounds which provides bananas with their  yellow color. Bananas ripen with the help of natural acid productions and when exposed to the cold, this acid production slows down and therefore so does the ripening; rendering the bananas nearly inedible.

The cold, whether natural or a result of refrigeration, quickly breaks down the cell walls of the banana peel. This results in cell membranes that are weak and susceptible to leaking. When the membranes weaken, the phenolic compounds mix with polyphenol oxidase. As a result of this interaction, the phelonic compounds oxidize and produce a brown compound called melanin, turning bananas completely black.
