The opposite. Cold slows down the ripening but allows them to last longer before getting over-ripe. Placing in a bag so the ethylene gas they give off speeds ripening at room temperature. The skins also turn dark, blacken in the cold once they are yellow, but that is simply a cosmetic defect.

regarding food storage… onions are best stored between 45 and 55 F. Cool, dry, dark, and ventilated.
A wine fridge is better for them than a regular fridge.

Milk, cheese, eggs, mozzarella, beer, some veggies (usually tomatoes, carrots, onion, bell peppers).
Amazing answers, I laughed like crazy.
I used to use the refrigerator method, until I read about the following method.
On your next purchase, separate each banana from the bundle, then cut off the very tip, leaving plenty of stem. Then tightly cover the exposed ends with whatever method works for you. I currently prefer electrical tape, but would prefer to simply dip the stem ends into some sort of liquid seal from around the house that dries almost instantly. Any ideas?
I found this method slowed the ripening process by even more than storing in the fridge, and don’t have to wait for my snack to warm back up.
Bananananananas have this 38min window going from unripe and persimmony to brown and mooshy, so I started throwing 'em in the fridge to slow down that process.
As a result, though, the skins get “suntanned” and freckled all over all at once, too.
So, when they’d be getting close to that 38min window, I’d take 2-3 at a time (depending on size) and make a banananananananana shake out of it. Them, sugar, vanilla, honey, and milk, and puree the crap out of it (food-proc, blender, or immersion blender like I use).
Goes down a lot easier than trying to choke down 2-3 bananananananananas in one sitting.
Why??
(genuinely curious!)
Lasts longer if stored cold. I used to have it in the fridge too, now I moved to a house with a pretty cold basement and just left it there.
