I experienced this weird phenomenon at a Starbucks about 6 years ago. There were some bananas which were ever so slightly stuck together. But rather than seeming tacky to the touch, when you pulled them apart, they felt like they released the way weak magnets do when you pull them apart - like they would let go suddenly. You know that feeling?
So I tried to pick up some paperclips with some of the bananas, and this is what happened.
I'd love to hear if anybody has an explanation. I couldn't find anything online about bananas having any kind of magnetic properties, but this really seemed like magnetism to me!
