Well, as I am new here, could someone please explain what the "banana" option on certain polls means (it seems this option is like on 80% of polls, and some polls has nothing to do with fruits). Is this considered a joke? If so, why does in certain polls I viewed when I browsed off-topic forums it gets so many votes?

it's a traditional poll option -
OK, I see that, but what does it means and what are the origins of it?Comment

It basically means abstain. You vote for it if you want to make a joke of the poll, or can't find an option to suit your needs.
In the Off-Topic forum, no polls are taken seriously if they don't have a banana option.
It's just an Apolyton tradition.Comment

It's a nonsense option, it doesn't mean anything really.Originally posted by Abdul-Aziz

A long time ago, someone included the option "Banana" in his poll.
The responses to it were positive, and a tradition was born.Comment

OK, thanks, I understood it it seems... Thankfully tradition is only in Off-Topic, cause I already created a poll in civilization future forums without this option...Comment

And at Something Awful, it's simply "Comedy third (or whatever option it is) option".

I'm surprised that you weren't run off for not having a banana option.
I remember Mr.Fun was trying to get people to switch to "Strawberry" but it never really caught on.I never know their names, But i smile just the same

Still better than CFC's repressed bestial urges.
