- For those out of the loop, Wikipedia explains: "In internet culture, bananas are sometimes included in images as a reference for the size of other objects in the image [...] often accompanied with the text 'banana for scale'."
- Nice! I enjoyed all the scales! Dug deep for MOHS38A* Banana rating: <1 (gross, now it tastes like talc...)[----] even though you gave me tons of crosses.
- Same here! I knew my primary school Rock Classification Unit would come in handy in my life!
- X on the Kinsey scale... bwahahahaaa... this puzzle is genius!
- were all the phallic references on purpose too? surely that can't be a coincidence (9D9DWatery stalactite[------], 18D18D____-a-doodle-doo[----], 22D22DSite for a cup or a loincloth[------], 16A16AUpright[-----])
- You know, I didn't intend it, but perhaps my subconscious did...
- Great way to approach the theme, and funny themed clues too!
- Definitely one of the most clever ways this theme has been interpreted yet! Fun, smooth fill too.
- Great puzzle. I was toying with a "banana for scale" theme but couldn't quite make it work.
