I agree with Sam. There is only a short period of time when bananas are good. Here's the dilemma... My mom buys bananas for me because she know's I like them. The problem is that I'm the only one in the house that eats them. So, if she buys a bunch, then I have to eat all of them in the same day. Otherwise I'd have to throw them away, and she gets really mad about that. I mean, I love banana's but after the 5th or 6th one, I get quite sick of them.
