How much does 1 banana cost? $10?

[–] Hansae@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Pence is the subdivision of the British pound. Given the era it would've been equivalent to about 30 cents.

Pence saved democracy

I'm amused that it was also worth individually weiging and pricing them. Couldn't possibly sell a 14p banana for 13, eh?

Is that real? It looks real. We're fucked.

Its from many years ago, but yeah was real. This isnt done in that store (morrisons) or anywhere else these days. The morrisons logo in that photo was replaced over 20 years ago.

Amazing opportunity to make some machine that sprays a thick bright yellow layer of plastic on a banana, that you peel off and then peel off the probably greyish-green real peel under that because yarg.

There's always money in the banana stand

Very robust when compared to the thin plastic film they've wrapped it in

[–] FundMECFS@anarchist.nexus 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

To be completely fair. Banana peels are edible. So sometimes it could be nice to have them clean?

But in all seriousness, fuck useless plastic packaging.

Who in their right mind eats banana peels (except Kevin Spacey)?

[–] FundMECFS@anarchist.nexus 2 points 2 months ago

Different cultures. India, Southeast Asia…

Places bananas seem to be native too.

If you’ve never had banana peel curry I recommend you try its very good.

[–] INHALE_VEGETABLES@aussie.zone 1 points 2 months ago

If you are eating bananas whole I urge you to stop

Morrisons individually shrink-wraps cucumbers. They also sell half cucumbers, which are just the shrink-wrapped cucumbers cut in half with a knife so now the inside is exposed.

They used to just sell bunches of bananas though.

At the grocery store I go to, most of the organic produce is in some kind of plastic packaging.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

My aunt would refrigerate them

[–] INHALE_VEGETABLES@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I put them in the freezer to make banana bread before they go in the bin

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

That makes sense. Good on ya!

[–] lemmydividebyzero@reddthat.com 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Bananas wrapped in plastic... Cancelled away by the liberals...

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 1 points 2 months ago

Bloody Nick Clegg.
