A weird recipe has swept across the Chinese-language Internet, with many attempting to try the allegedly most disgusting combination of banana and jujubes.

　　一种奇葩的食谱横扫了中文互联网圈——许多人试图去尝尝这种所谓的让人最难以忍受的食物组合：香蕉加枣。

　　The recipe first appeared on Sept. 22 when a netizen posted a snapshot of a conversation with a friend, who recalled her experience of eating banana and jujube together, creating a feeling of “life’s [a] merry-go-round.” The person further said that she literally dropped to her knees after eating it, “As if something was rotten in my mouth.”

　　它首次出现在9月22日，当时，一位网友在网上发布了一段与朋友聊天的快照，朋友回忆起自己吃香蕉加枣子的经历，产生了一种感觉——“仿佛看到了人生的走马灯”。这个人还说她吃完后秒跪，“好像有什么东西在我嘴里腐烂了。”

　　The post immediately triggered great curiosity. It has been reposted more than 41,000 times, with many claiming that they have tried the recipe and noting their different reactions.

　　该文章立马引起了人们极大的好奇心，被转发了4.1万次，许多人声称他们已经尝试了吃香蕉加枣，并晒出了各种不同的反应：

　　“I tried banana and jujube. It was like chewing on a pregnant flying cockroach that had just eaten a stinkbug,” wrote a netizen.

　　“我试过香蕉枣子一起吃，那感觉就像嚼一只刚吃了臭屁虫还没消化的怀孕母蟑螂。”一位网友写道。

　　According to Shi Jun, a noted expert on botany, jujube skin and banana are like the texture of an insect, with an outer skin and inner organs. Banana skin also gives off a stinky smell when it is fermented.

　　据著名植物学专家史军介绍，枣子皮和香蕉模拟了昆虫的质地，有外皮和内部器官。香蕉皮在发酵时也会散发出臭味。

　　Bi Xiaotian, a doctorate student of chemical engineering from Tsinghua University, on Sept. 24, unveiled his “study result” on his WeChat. Through his personal experiment, Bi claimed that the nauseous smell grows stronger when one eats the banana first and then a jujube. Specifically, if the ratio of banana to jujube stays at 4-2, the smell is strongest.

　　9月24日，清华化工学院的一位博士生毕小天在他的微信上公布了其“研究结果”。通过他的个人经历，毕表示当一个人先吃香蕉，然后再吃枣子时，这种恶心的味道就会变得更强烈。尤其，如果香蕉与枣的比例保持在4比2，那么是最恶心的。
