Someone Is Scratching Creepy Messages Into Banana Peels For People To Find

There is one thing humans are always trying to do and that's freak each other out. Just look at what we do with clowns. If something innocent and sweet can be turned towards evil ends, we will. Take, for instance, the banana.

What if you put a banana in your grocery basket, and it appears as you unpack at home? I'm crushing a banana in my hand and screaming just thinking about it.

Unfortunately, the idea has gone viral and we're all vulnerable to banana terror now. People love it so much, they think it could be a plot twist in movie:

Biegel didn't invent the idea; people shared some of their fruit art in the replies:

This banana message trend is just getting heated up. The sky is the limit for where it can go, so buy your banana bunch and experiment. Perhaps with terrifying your children:

Kids are already afraid of fruits and vegetables, anyway.
