There is one thing humans are always trying to do and that's freak each other out. Just look at what we do with clowns. If something innocent and sweet can be turned towards evil ends, we will. Take, for instance, the banana.
Writer and producer Kevin Biegel has introduced a new element of fear to the preferred fruit of toddlers and the potassium-deficient. He takes a harmless, ordinary banana, scratches a haunting message into it. Then...he waits.
Favorite new thing:
Scratching haunting things into bananas at the market so when people take them home hours later and the words appear they think a ghost knows their secrets. pic.twitter.com/aDOMd3K8cX
HELP!! That banana KNOWS about me! Friends of Biegel's will suspect him if something like this happens in their fruit bowl, but what if you live alone? What if you put a banana in your grocery basket, and it appears as you unpack at home? I'm crushing a banana in my hand and screaming just thinking about it.
Unfortunately, the idea has gone viral and we're all vulnerable to banana terror now. People love it so much, they think it could be a plot twist in movie:
fyi, I’ve now registered this with the WGA as a spy movie plot
You’re a monster. I would burn my house down and move. Traveling the country as a rootless nomad with only one goal. Slap every banana I see out of every hand holding it. https://t.co/DTJSoy0P9X
This banana message trend is just getting heated up. The sky is the limit for where it can go, so buy your banana bunch and experiment. Perhaps with terrifying your children:
...oh man...my 10 yr old is gonna get trolled with this!
