Fruit can ripen slightly after you've picked them, for example if you buy a melon that is still slightly unripe (hard) leave it out for a couple of days and it will become a lot more juicy

How do you make bananas overripe?

Keep them all together, don't separate them, and wait a few days. They will ripen faster if you don't separate them. Bananas as well as most fruits give off gas as part of their ripening process. All plants give off gas once they are picked and begin to decompose (ripen), and this gas increases the speed of ripening, so it becomes a circular process whereby the bananas become more ripe at an increasing rate as they ripen. If you trap the gas in a paper bag, it increases the exposure of the banana to the increased gas and quickens the ripening process.
