Would YOU eat the banana?

$120K meal, in South Korean art gallery.

(It should be explained that the banana in question is replaced (daily?) to stay "fresh".)

SO .... if I hang one of my bananas on the wall will it be worth millions too?

Also this thread requires a pole!

No, because I'm not some self-important piece of shit...but I also fail to understand how a banana duct taped to a wall is a ""$120,000 piece of art." I suspect this is a ruse...a hoax.

Such a waste of bananas (replacing them daily and not eating it). I hope that's not true and the bananas is ending up in someone's poo.

I don't care much for bananas.

I don't care much for bananas.

I can't even stomach the smell of them. It's pretty grim when someone has tossed a banana skin in the ward rest room bin then topped it off with a bunch of tea bags.

While I can't characterize that as inaccurate, I'm used to people referring to it as a "banana peel", not a "skin". Is that the common parlance over there, or is it borne of your distaste for them?

The most disgusting public consumption I've ever seem was at a bachelor party. Strip club was 100% naked and pairs of girls were "performing" on stage. Part of the act was insertion of popsicle shaped lollipops which were then sold post insertion. I was completely grossed out.

People will be paying hundreds of dollars for a single banana one day. It is at risk for going extinct. Along with cocoa.

Dip a banana in melted chocolate to remember the good times.

Which banana, though? In the US we primarily ate the Gros Michel until Panama disease showed up, and switched to the Cavendish.

Possibly Cavendish. In UAE, we mostly get bananas from the Philippines.

[Red Squirrel]

It would be tempting but knowing the ridiculous price tags they put on "art" I wouldn't actually do it.

Yeah, this isn't exactly new news, but I guess it must still be progressing (article from 2015)

Yep, I would be too. I'm no prude, but that's straight disgusting.

As far as the OP: while I don't consider it real art...no, I would not touch something on the wall in a gallery, much less eat part of it.
