woah interesting..but did he just dump all that vodka down the drain, ouch

hmm, Whats the alcohol content of the banana? (grins)

And here's the science behind the magic!

The short version: The banana skin is a semipermeable membrane that allows the potassium and other electrolytes to diffuse out while the ethanol diffuses in.

Okay, but to make it work BETTER, you really need to use a simple syrup rather than granulated sugar. The only way granulated sugar will dissolve properly it needs heat. You can look up the proper method, but it's pretty, well, simple.

Then add the syrup to the vodka as you would the sugar. I will be easier for the banana to absorb. Sweet.

Why does it look like a jelly dildo when it's done?

Soo wrong.. thats NOT whati wanna see when I open my banana;) I wonder though if tastes decently.

can you post that as a link, not an embed, so I can download it and watch it, instead of streaming it?

Nice idea, though I'd be a bit worried about preservative agents diffusing into the banana with the solvent around.
