Reply to comment by GoArray in ‘Unknown possible explosive device’ that prompted evacuation was an egg, officials say by WE-NEED-MORE-CATS

At first I read this as "wrapped in a banana" and was really struggling to understand why someone would wrap anything in a banana, but especially an egg or bomb.

This gave me a terrible idea!

Peel banana but leave like 2" of the peel intact.

Jam egg into little 2" pocket.

Throw!

I'm imagining the peeled pieces acting as stabilizers for the egg bomb!

Yeah the potassium of the banana reacts with the eggs calcium. Basically thermite.

I did too but for some reason my tired brain thought it made complete sense and I moved on. I didn’t realize it didn’t say banana until I read your comment.
