No Bananas!
They’re Bad Luck - Seriously!
Back in the days of the sailing ships, sailors ate fruit to prevent the onset of scurvy. Bananas would ripen and spoil faster than most other fruits. When the bananas would rot the bug larvae in the skin would hatch and infest not just the other fruit but the entire ship itself. For this reason, the banana was deemed unfit for sailing ships. Any mention of bananas was seen as a bad omen and would spell misfortune for the voyage. We still believe today!
