The Infamous Mario Kart Banana

I guess you have to play video games to appreciate this sentiment, but I was just thinking about how freaking irritating those damn bananas were in the Mario Kart games. 70% of the time you hit your own banana, 20% it gets nullified by a turtle shell, and 10% of the time the person who runs over it has a golden mushroom or a star. It's either the worst or the best video game weapon ever depending on which end you're on. Haha.

Lol that's funny! I used to be pretty good at throwing them at the drivers in front of me. Which was funny cuz none of my friends knew how to do it. They would always say, "somehow bananas keep dropping in front of me when I'm in the lead!" haha
