There’s a new prank that you’re gonna wanna know about if you like bananas that, frankly, would freak you out if it happened to you.

Mashable shared that someone’s figured out that if you scratch a message into a banana peel, a couple of hours later, whatever you wrote will turn brown . . . so whoever buys the banana will think they just got a message from a ghost, or a spirit, or a stalker. So… just a heads up. And, kids, use this knowledge responsibly. 

Favorite new thing:
