Bananas? In the US this would have been donuts...

Police in Cambodia have been accused of extracting confessions from two teenagers by force-feeding them bananas until they felt sick. Local newspapers say the pair was subjected to the unorthodox interrogation after being arrested on suspicion of stealing five bags of soap powder from a car parked in the capital, Phnom Phen. A top Cambodian policeman has denied any official wrong-doing. He says the two were hungry and annoyed and refused to answer questions but they were more forthcoming after eating the bananas.
