摘要
We show that ordinary bananas exhibit closed loops of switched charge versus applied voltage that are nearly identical to those misinterpreted as ferroelectric hysteresis loops in crystals. The 'ferroelectric' properties of bananas are contrasted with those of the real ferroelectric material Ba2NaNb5O15, often nicknamed 'bananas'.
