I would have told him to grab the green ones instead. Yellow bananas go bad so fast. Two days after you buy em and they’re already mushy and weird tasting.
Bananas are the only item I focus on buying organic. The price difference is negligible. The artificially ripened ones (by ethylene gas) don't seem to slow down. While one has to wait a few days for the organic green ones to ripen a bit, they will last at least a week after that. Once a number of brown dots appear, put them in the refrigerator. Their skins will turn full black, but the insides stay fine. Doing this gives a full two weeks before they become too mushy.
After many times having bananas go mushy / rotten too quick, and vaguely recalling back in the 70s that I was pretty sure they lasted longer, I started looking into ... bananas. This is the sad state of modern society.

Thanks for the tip I had no idea bananas were artificially ripened.
