Teens are testing out if banana skins really are slippery in the #BananaPeelChallenge

You can learn a lot from cartoons.

Never get in a footrace with a road runner. Always take that left turn at Albuquerque.

And importantly, banana peels are slippery.

Apparently that last lesson has been lost on a bunch of teens, who are creating a new meme – the #BananaPeelChallenge – to see if walking on a banana skin can make you trip up.

It all started this weekend with Jason Oakes’ investigative video.

From that, great pratfalls were had and the #BananaPeelChallenge was borne.

What a life.

Remember kids: stay safe out there. Banana skins are slippery. It doesn’t really matter if its duck or rabbit season.
