Peels: As bananas become increasingly popular in urbanizing America it created a problem with how they discarded their peels. People would slip, fall and injure themselves from banana peels and became such a problem that in 1909 Saint Louis city council prohibited people from throwing or casting a banana rind on public streets. At that same time another regulation forbid anyone from allowing a “bear to run at large”. Boyscouts daily task was suggested to “consist in moving a piece of banana peel from the pavement”. In New York, George Waring set up the 1st large scale recycling effort in the US around the banana peel. Eventually slipping on a banana became more of a joke, even being exemplified by Charles Chaplin in his 1923 The Pilgrim but the joke got old quickly.
