Just look at this strawberry jelly mould made out of a banana peel.

Just look at it.

La Receta de la Felicidad: Oro parece... plátano no es! (via Neatorama)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Yes. Since I don’t read Spanish, I imagined someone had inoculated a banana with that pink stuff that can grow at the bottom of showers. Perhaps it was because of the spelling -’mould’.

Looks like a hot pink miniature version of the Alien creature that emerges out of the guts of one of the guys in the first Alien film – except that it’s now bursting out of a banana peel (how the mighty fall…).

  I think this could be considered a unicorn chaser in its own right.

That’s porn.

In fact, it’s jello porn.

I find myself fascinated by the possible physics of this thing’s assembly.

That’s some alien genitalia, right there.

But it doesn’t matter when it’s Arcturian, so it’s all good.

RebNachum, this is clearly a “gel banana”, the result of a failed time-travel experiment. The effect is caused by simultaneously forcing every molecule of the banana through its own tiny wormhole.

  That depends on whether you consider the peel to be integral, or an obstruction, to the banana.

This immediately made me think of the old Velvet Underground album cover.

looks more like ice than jelly

Hard to say what I’m more disturbed by: the pink thingy or the background image. The pink thing seems angry, and that eyeball in the back seems to be looking at me. Thank goodness they didn’t feel the need for a Karo syrup glaze on the jello. That would surely have ruined my corn flakes this morning just by looking at it.

It has a certain apeel.

My dog has one of those.

He has an inordinate interest in it.

I’d like to explain the pun in the title. It comes from a guess puzzle very similar which says “Oro parece, plata no es, Â¿quÃ© es?” literally translating “it looks as gold and it is not silver, what is it?” and the answer is “plÃ¡tano” (i.e. a banana) because it is yellow as gold and joining “plata + no” (i.e. “not silver”) gives “plÃ¡tano”.
