Just Peeled Del Monte Banana & Found Beetle.
It was some sort of small beetle-like thing inside the peel. Good gosh. I threw the last two away. And to think I ate the first four. Hopefully this one was a fluke.

4. So it really can happen!!!
My first boss always removed the banana completely from the peel. She said her brother was bitten by a spider when they were kids. I never believed that a critter could live in a banana, but AHA - she was right all along.

Phew - glad you are okay!

8. Well, by the time I got to the store it'd be moldy. I may ask to see what they can do though. n/t

7. I found a weird red fibrous substance at the core of one banana I ate.
Put me off bananas for a few months!

If you bite into an apple, the only thing worse than finding a worm ...
