    Doesn’t the colon absorb vitamins better or something? Could you overdose with anal bananas?

      IIRC the large intestine and colon is more about water resorption than nutrient absorption, and while potassium is a very dangerous electrolyte, I’m doubtful that much of it will get absorbed at all, even if 1 banana could do any damage to the average person with working kidneys.
