    I ain't a farmer, but I'm pretty sure if you put a bad apple in a basket full of good apples, that the good apples don't suddenly all become bad.

    It seems less like it spoils them, and more like it makes them age faster. This means that theoretically you could put a bad apple in a basket of unripe apples in order to make them ripe — and the article says farmers use the chemical bad apples produce to make bananas ripe.

    It says nothing about the speed, though, which is something I want to know. Does it happen in a few hours, a few days, weeks, what?

    Yeah I guess you're right that it just causes a more rapid aging of the produce around it.

    Idk about the speed. It would be a fun experiment to play around with.

    It probably wouldn't smell that fun, though.
