Terrified FDA Warns Something Making Bananas Black After Several Days!!!
WASHINGTON—The Food and Drug Administration made an emergency announcement Monday to alert all U. S. citizens that "a force or forces unknown" is turning seemingly normal bananas black, soft, and virtually inedible in as little as 72 hours. "Whatever is causing the dramatic and frankly disgusting changes in these bananas is able to penetrate any container and is completely undetectable by any known instrument," said visibly shaken FDA commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg

:rofl:
Is it bad of me to have a desire to hide the Onion as a source and post it in health and see how long it takes certain people to froth at the mouth about Chiquita trying to poison us? :evilgrin:

1. I dare you to post this in Health.
Just hide the link with the <link:URL|text> tag. Of course people will be suspicious with the post coming from a big pharma shill like you :P

2. I'll bet it's the same stuff that made my shovel rust.
I blame all the big banana growers: Chiquita, Dole, Big Yellow, Gorilla's Choice.

3. "Herbalists who understand inflammation and diabetes recommend Cedar Berry."
:rofl:

The Onion's writers really should spend some time reading the DU health forum. Why work when someone else does the work for you?
