Bananas and sprites: that's the Internet Challenge

The banana and sprite challenge has been on the internet for some time. In this article we explain what this is all about.

This is the banana and sprite challenge

The banana and sprite challenge is about squeezing 2 bananas and 1L sprite in quick succession.

• The challenge is not to throw up.
• However, scientists warn of this challenge because the human stomach can absorb a maximum of 260 ml of liquid and food at a time.
• Because the stomach is overcrowded by the challenge, nausea and vomiting occur.
• However, every stomach reacts differently. Some people had no problems with the challenge.
• The banana and sprite challenge was made famous by Daniel Tosh, who showed and tried it in his series Tosh.0.

This happens in the stomach during the banana and sprite challenge

As mentioned above, a person's stomach can only consume a limited amount of food.

• Bananas are generally considered to be very easy to digest. However, the prerequisite for this is that the banana is well ripened and already has some brown spots.
• If you eat an unripe banana at the Challenge, it only increases the nausea that arises.
• Sprite, on the other hand, contains a lot of carbon dioxide. You are probably familiar with this when you have to digest too much carbon dioxide.
• Because you give your body too much liquid in combination with a satiator during the banana and sprite challenge, you experience nausea and, under certain circumstances, vomiting.
• So far, scientists have not been able to find out whether the challenge also involves a chemical reaction.
