Bananas and String Cheese


I was thinking about bananas and string cheese recently. Not that I would eat them together necessarily. I was thinking of them on separate occasions. You know how you can eat a bad apple? Like, you take a bite thinking it will be all crisp and juicy and it winds up just being mealy and gross. Or you eat an orange thinking it will taste like an orange but it really is a juiceless pulpy disappointment. But bananas pretty much all taste the same. You can have an over ripe banana and a not-yet-ripe banana, but if it's in the sweet spot, it's pretty much a consistent fruit. Think about it.
And my thoughts on string cheese are as follows; It's only really good if it's very finely stringed. You can't really ever enjoy a string cheese fully. It's either perfectly stringy and you like it, but you wish there was three times as much of it, or you get greedy, and try take a bite of it, and a chunk of it just isn't the same as it being stringy. My thoughts would be to sell string cheese already finely pulled, but part of the appeal of string cheese is getting a really great pull yourself. Plus, shredded mozzarella cheese isn't really that good as it is by itself.

observations


I've never really said "I think this orange juice has gone bad." It could be in the refrigerator for 2 months opened and I might say it's old but it always tastes the same. Same with bananas. (unfortunately I had to think of that Gwen Stefani song to remember how to spell bananas...shittt is bananas! B-A-N-A-N-A-S!) You might get a banana that isn't ripe yet or that is too ripe, but if it's in that sweet spot in between, they pretty much all taste exactly the same. It's not like an apple where it can be mealy, not juicy, not crispy. Or an orange can have no taste or be pulpy. Bananas are pretty consistent across the board. Cashews...I don't think I have ever seen a cashew in it's shell, on a tree, or in the ground. Don't really have a clue how it grows or where it grows. You'd think after eating them for the past 25 some years I would have learned that.
