We get free fruit at work and I have noticed the bananas have a funny smell. I have never noticed it before. I know some people can smell, I thought they were joking

    Bananas smell of bananas.

    Whether they can spell or not is a matter of conjecture image

    I think it's those wandering Brazilian spiders that are doing the spelling for the bananas. Like in Charlotte's Web.

    I love bananas, one of my favourite fruits.

    Bananas give off ethylene gas which is why we use them to ripen over fruits and why they shouldn't be kept near cut flowers

    Dont know why they should smell horrid. Chop the skins up and put them round your rose bushes, its good for them.
