Many foods are naturally radioactive, and bananas are particularly so, due to the radioactive potassium-40 they contain.

would i get sick sitting next to a pile of 1,000 bananas?

When you realize people work their whole career working in a banana plantation, you start to understand the difference between measurable radioactivity and meaningful radioactivity.

That does it, I’m eliminating banana cream pie and going with pecan pie from now on.

I’m not afraid of the radiation but pecan pie tastes better and this is the excuse I’ll give to the wife.
