Watch as the inside of a SEALED banana is turned into an alcoholic treat.Is this science, or a clever trick?Watch and decide for yourself.This is also a great treat for your next party. Hand your guests one of these bananas and watch their surprised look when they open it and reveal what's inside!Yes, I know the end result looks gross and a little pornographic. Get your dirty mind out of the gutter!Since I can't seem to keep my comments around, the scientific explanation for what's happening inside that banana follows:In this experiment we have both water (H2O) and Vodka (ethanol).Because the peel of the banana is a semi permeable membrane, it allows the ethanol to pass through it. This is caused by the difference in the concentrations of salts inside and outside the peel.High concentration of potassium and other salts inside the banana and the low concentration of salts outside the banana will encourage the ethanol to pass through the peel into the banana to equilibrate the system.According to an article in Experimental Botany, 1980, volume 31, number 4, pages 975-982, the banana pulp will begin to leech electrolytes. The high concentration of potassium inside the banana will drop. This will also help the system come to equilibrium.The coagulation of the inside of the banana is readily dependent on the temperature of the system.Ethanol is a great solvent for biological molecules. It will dissolve some of the inside of the banana, but at the same time all the lipids will not go into solution. So it is no surprise that the ethanol makes the banana become 'softer.' It is essentially liquefying the inside.In the process, the transition temperature inside the banana has raised above the temperature in the refrigerator. Dropping the temperature will cause the lipids and the ethanol solution to congeal.Hence the 'gel-o-shot' like state. Simple science!

looks pretty disgusting... i wonder how it tastes though.
something cool you can do also is just slowly pour vodka over a watermelon that is cut in half. pour the vodka on the red part of the watermelon slowly and the watermelon will act like a sponge. once you have a lot of vodka in the watermelon, freeze it and then cut it into cubes. pretty damn delicious i think

Is there any way to make jello banana without the vodka ?

The ethanol (Vodka) is required to liquefy the inside of the banana.

If i did everything in your video with that much vodka, how many shots will a banana equal up to? xD

So small? 30 MB? couldn't you make it heavier?

- Head for the hills!!!! 30MB!
If 30MB is too much for your internet connection or your Hard Drive then you have more problems than just working on your sarcasm.

I was a little shocked at that too. I used DivX, which should have shrunk it down further than it did.
I created it at 640x480, so that could be the reason. I just assumed Metacafe scaled it to 320x240.
The video is still 640x480....and Love2Spoooge, I was only surprised by the size of the file for only 1 minute and 57 seconds length of the video..Should be 12-14 at most, maybe the sound was not compressed..
By Runfast> 1185373377 Reply Spam [+46] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveDo you really need the banana peel?

Jello© is a registered trademark, which is why I didn't use that spelling.

- cool
I should try this. I have a 2 bottles of smirnoff lying around. Wonder if it works on oranges or apples? Wouldnt think so since they are different textures than a banana and different properties. Never hurts to try!

(I turned this vid into a quick recipe to copy and print.)
"GellO Shot inside a Banana"
1 banana, unpeeled & almost ripe
¼-½ cup sugar
vodka, hi quality
Place banana in a plastic or glass container that fits banana. Pour vodka around banana until almost covered. Add sugar and mix until completely dissolved.
Place container, uncovered, in fridge. Leave it for 4 - 12 hrs., depending on vodka quality, sugar amount and temp.
When complete the banana will be soft, so cut base of stem halfway thru, then peel by hand. Enjoy!
(Slight adjustments may be needed for this recipe to work properly)
