Too Many Bananas!

Got too many bananas ripe right now, freezer is filled with gallon bags for smoothies so the dehydrator is working overtime.

Sooo, free ziploc of dried bananas to the first four people who respond below. They’re more leather texture and far sweeter than the banana chips you may have had from the store.

@Mark_Thompson "far sweeter than the banana chips you may have had from the store."

The Gotch'll take a refill, 'cause after having had 'em generously provided a while back, he knows just how gosh darn sweet them there 'nanners are.

And being dehydrated in the shadow of a Subway Tile backsplash? Fuggeddabboudit!

It's doubtful @Mark_Thompson . Unfortunately! Better stick with someone you know will receive it.

If this is still open, I'll claim the 4th spot. We love banana chips here, a staple in our house. Can I pay postage?

Having already been the grateful beneficiary of the lavish generosity of @Mark_Thompson, The Gotch will reluctantly relinquish his place in the rotation in order to have someone else blissfully enjoy the sweetest 'nanners he's ever had.

@Cornelius_Gotchberg You tried to back out, but it was too late. Guess you’ll just have to eat them!

@Mark_Thompson the package arrived just in time to share with my daughter and her BF. Like me, they thought that they were great. I was mean and would not let them eat them all.

Now that I think all the participants are in I'll post my experience with dried bananas.
When they became popular at least on my area back in around 1990 they tasted very sweet and banana like in flavor.
Jump ahead to 2005 in Prudhoe Bay Alaska they had all you could eat things like dried bananas.
They honestly tasted like nothing.
They were basically dried unripe bananas.
I think this is because of the demand for dried bananas went up and the quality went way down.
Probably the worthless supplier sysco.or Kirkland.
I'm glad you have the good will to share your bananas with others.

I first saw national cheeseburger day as national cheerleader day.
I've seen marijuana on signs at the store before as well.
The mind plays some pretty crazy tricks sometimes.
