What if we split the banana and cover it up with three scoops of vanilla, hot fudge, and nuts? What will her reaction really be?

Thanks Nitram for the unusal story.

Snakes bite, and can be deadly or at least cause a little pain. Fruit is good for you and will not bite. Not related.

I think these people are crazy. I would point a gun to their head and force them to eat bananas or pickles or die. I bet they would get over their fear very quick.
