We used to when DS was little, but he and I burned out on them. The dogs like them when they are good and ripe. I just slice them and hand them around.

I usually say that free food tastes better - not the case with bananas, lol.

I won't get them again unless they are in fact FREE and I will only consume them in a smoothie. I am probably irritating everyone with my tirades about how much I hate bananas - but I hate them THAT much.
you hate bananas like I hate broccoli and Brussels sprouts.

Hey Fellow Banana hater. My Mom has said that I was the only baby who ever spit bananas back out at her.

I like them firm but can only have a half at a time and very limited.

I absolutely LOVE bananas and I LOVE Macintosh apples too. I'm never without them. I go through about 9 pounds of apples a month and pretty close to that with bananas, but then half of it is peel. Can't get enough of fresh peaches either YUM.

Love the white flesh peaches - can't wait for peach season! Oh and of course strawberries.
