There's always money in the banana stand
The pricey ones here cost €1 per kg
I worked at a Walmart for a bit and one day they had me change the price tags on the bananas and I immediately had to ask and make sure the tags were correct because they went from like $0.70 per pound, to $1.68 per banana.
Until they went back to a per pound price, banana sales basically stopped at the store.
You can cut the second to last banana a little lower, and leave the top of the stim attached to keep it hanging
Until I read your answer, I was picturing a kiosk selling frozen bananas with a countertop (a diner would be a countertop restaurant, in this naming convention). My only excuse is that I just woke up
Same, same.
Ah, now I have coffee.
Wait you cut them all? You don't just tear the bananas apart from each other?
Cutting, a stand, all feels like an overcomplication of a simple fruit
Uhh, see the banana master JWBananas diagram below. Exactly what I'm talking about
There's always money in the banana stand to get more bananas.
It's one banana, how much could it cost, $10?
Just use those $10 and go see a star war.
I read this as being addressed to owners of businesses that sell bananas off a countertop and had an existential crisis wondering how the fuck I never realized that was a thing
Let alone why it'd be an issue for them to have only a single banana left in stock
RTFM.
What's this "nature's way" crap, when the bananas are hanging upside down?
Tap for bananas
As though there is anything natural about the modern banana
Are you implying they are supernatural?
Preternatural.
Where on the scale is that? Is it higher or lower than supernatural?
A banana for scale would be helpful.
It is higher than the banana, relative to the direction they're oriented. Determining which orientation is correct is left as an exercise to the reader.
Banana stand people: hang loose man!
Actual bananas: <flips like 50 birds to the camera>
This is the way. Cut the second to last banana below the stem. Works perfectly.
Eat it.
I think we're all missing the most important question here: where do you get someone small enough to work the countertop banana stand?!?
Loompaland?
After they unionized? No way.
Oompa loompa doompa de dabor
Only support businesses with unionized labor
You make a trade with someone from the actors guild.
Banana for scale.
The arm of our stand is wide so I can rest one banana on top.
Banana cradle capabilities?
A banana hammock, if you will
Mine it for potassium-40. Radioactive products sell for more than one banana, which as others have noted cost $10 but if you can purify the radioactive elements, you can probably get $11 or even $12.
Plus, the YouTube revenue. Imagine me and Nile Red turning a banana into something where we get a visit from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. They’d pay upwards of $14.50.
Sometimes a rubber band, sometimes a twist tie
Just lay out on the counter and eat it the next day. Sorry, boring as answer
You rip the second-last one off to leave the stem, which now becomes a hook.
Skewer it with the hook.
I heard countertop banana stand owners tend to also own banana hammocks.
I'm going to buy a banana stand, and knit a hammock to hang from it.
Cut it in half and tie the two ends together
Suffer
Impale it as an example to other bananas that might step out of line.
Just lay it on the base of the stand.
There's always money in the banana stand. Use the last banana for a free smoothie for your employee, or throw the rotton thing out and order more for tomorrow.
Eat the last two together
I'd invest into an economy of scale
I use better technology: wire fruit basket. It achieves the same goal of exposing your banana to air circulation, but the last one can lay down
Shove it up my ass. For safe keeping.
