Banana vs Strawberry (the better fruit part II)

[celticmaestro]

Strawberry.

I couldn't think of a "clean" reason why. If you catch my drift...

[celticmaestro]

Oh I thought of a "clean" reason.

The anthocyanidins found in strawberries help protect against heart disease.

Plus I like strawberry jam, ice cream, cheesecake and I think when you put banana in a smoothie it ruins the drink.

OK, OK, I didn’t want to do this……………..but for the sake of this site, I will yet once again channel Dan Shaunessey and compare a few items:

Better Global Impact
Banana Republics or Strawberry Moon
One was a case of capitalism negatively impacting a whole region for close to 100 years the other references the full moon each June.
1 – 0 Strawberry

Better Dessert
Banana Split or Strawberry Cheesecake
Oh man this is a tough one.  The classic hot fudge sundae extraordinaire or a slice of cheesecake drizzled in fresh strawberries and sauce – I happen to like my sundaes simple so I am going with the Strawberry cheesecake --- barely.
2 – 0 Strawberry

Better Kids Show
The Banana Splits or Strawberry Shortcake
The 70’s classic with Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper, and Snorky or well…..nevermind,  Banana Splits in a runaway.
2-1 Strawberry

Better Drink
Banana Daiquiri or Strawberry Daiquiri
Please………..
3-1 Strawberry

Better Song
Day-O or Strawberry Fields
Another tough one!  Harry Belafonte’s Day-O, otherwise known as the Banana Boat song or the Beatles Strawberry Fields.  Strawberry Fields wins by a whisker based on the fact that there’s confusion over the actual title of Harry’s incredible song.
4-1 Strawberry

Convenience
The peel & eat Banana or a bushel of Strawberries
Banana wins here.  Simply peel and eat.
4-2 Strawberry

Sports Association
Banana Boat Sun Screen or Darryl Strawberry
Hmm, sun block or Dar-ryl, Dar-ryl, Dar-ryl?  Good sun block, but the Dar-ryl, Dar-ryl chant is legendary and started here in Boston in 1986.
5-2 Strawberry

“Intimate” Desires
Banana Hammocks or Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Borat or fresh fruit dipped in chocolate – another win for the little red fruit.
6-2 Strawberry

Cereal
Sliced Bananas on Cheerios or Frankenberries
Going healthy on this one, Sorry Frankeberry, Count Chocula is on line 1.
6-3 Strawberry

Pop Culture
Slipping on a banana / Elvis’s peanut butter & banana sandwiches or that cartoon again
Banana is a huge winner when it comes to pop culture.

Winner
The Strawberry 6-4

Strawberries.

Mmmmmm.....

[Evantime34]

Strawberries just taste better. The only thing that banana's have going for them in this debate is how easy they are to carry around. Strawberies usually need to be cut.

[EarthBall]

This is stupid. They are both great. In fact, bananas and strawberries blended together with a ice cream, milk and some wheat germ and honey. Delicious.

I don't eat fruits for ethical reasons. I'd much rather have a debate between pork chop and cow rib eye steak. Bananas and strawberries are two particularly egregious fruits, as one can't even make alcohol out of them.

Anyway, I'd give the edge to the bananas. Strawberries are softies, even for a fruit.

[BigAlTheFuture]

Bananas, all the way. Since I'm allergic to strawberries.

Hmmm, you might have to excuse yourself from the jury on this one

Bananas and strawberries are two particularly egregious fruits, as one can't even make alcohol out of them.

Bananas and strawberries contain natural sugars so you can technically use yeast to make ethanol from them.  Even if roughly 100g of fruit only yields 3-5g of sugar.

I cant beleive Strawberries cut the lead this much

I am mad at you people!!

[GroverTheClover]

If we're talking fresh fruit, then I'll have to go with bananas since I'm allergic to fresh strawberries. But strawberry flavor > banana flavor.

Is there some sort of bias scale that can be applied to GroverTheClover's vote given the fact he has a dancing banana as his avatar?

He'll get his when I start the Carrot vs Pepper thread

It's like when my daughters ask me which one of them I love more
