JOPLIN, Mo. — Since the "Banana and Sprite Challenge" got a mention on the Comedy Central show "Tosh.0," a Globe video from 2008 of a former employee testing food myths, including bananas and Sprite, has risen in popularity.

At the risk of being gross, we'd like to see who else is willing to take the Banana and Sprite Challenge.

Eat two bananas, drink one liter of Sprite and see if you can complete the challenge. Share your videos of the challenge on the Globe facebook page or send them to news@joplinglobe.com.

Jeremiah Tucker: New Vampire Weekend album has shades of 'Pet Sounds'
The New York band's third full-length release, "Modern Vampires of the City," an instant classic and the best album of the year, feels like a sequel to that song. It is a record about being on the cusp of real, out-of-your-20s, unromantic adulthood and the terror that accompanies the narrowing of your options.
