They weren't even bananas, they were plantains. He calls them by name in the video.
That shithead has never once been in a grocery store or had to buy his own food. Shows how out of touch he is. Fuck off with that shit.
Personally I get the green nanners since they'll last longer.
Smart people that aren't fucking idiots also get green ones. Especially in this economy
Its a banana, how much could it cost? Ten dollars?
Don't trust the government - republicans that run the government. ????
That's the problem with that party. They believe the government doesn't work so they're trying to prove it.
Then don't you dumb rat-fuck pedophile protector. Jesus Christ, that tweet was worth it, eh?
The dude has servants that do his shopping. If they put green bannannas in front of him he would eat 2-3 and the puke because of the starch like a toddler that doesnt know better.
You're giving a bad name to toddlers
Tell me you're too rich to do your own grocery shopping/cooking without telling me.
I thought this was satire but looked up mr. macintosh and it's real. Dude, are you on death's door? No time to wait for the bananas to get ripe?
To be fair - If they are platanos - I wouldn't buy such green plantains because those fuckers are green, green, green for weeks then yellow but not ready and I forget about them and miss the one day they are ripe.
My first rule is if they're conservative, take it with a grain of salt.
If they're a white conservative, less of that.
If they're a old white conservative, of fuck off. No opinion of theirs is valid.

You just described avocados except on a longer time scale. Avocados are a like "Sike! I was ripe at 12:56 pm and it is now 12:59 pm. I now no longer ripe."
More nutrient lower sugar bananas for me then
I keep seeing "green banana" posts but I saw the video this is from and those are plantains
Are they? The picture looks like bananas to me. Where I've lived in the states though plantains are usually less rounded and longer. They probably vary just the same and I'm not use to seeing it
Even better lol
saw a vid of an american woman in an english supermarket and she commented how green the bananas were which amused me you buy five or eight bananas to last the whole week right
Oh man, they go bad so quick round here
Because you can only buy yellow bananas, or?
Yes, only yellow. I don't think I've ever made full use of a bunch
Banana bread is the secret. Even extremely brown bananas make great bread!
Peel and chop the bananas into smallish chunks and then freeze them. And you can blend the frozen bananas with some cocoa powder for really delicious chocolate nice cream.
I've had bananas that seem to go directly from green to brown. Not often but it was pretty annoying.
Get him to guess the price
For one banana? Can't be more than, what, like $10?
Was I right?
AFAIK you are still right. But my knowledge may just be outdated.
I'm guessing 14 cents a banana?
Do Americans not know how fruits work or is it just the Epstein class that doesn't?
I'm not sure if there's been a good enough study on general "food literacy" to really know but I'd love to see one. Anecdotal so this is fairly worthless info: When I was a teen working at a pizza shop the amount of new hires that rolled through over the years that couldn't recognize some/many of the toppings on sight was alarming to me. I don't know how widespread that scenario is. I figure, at least some kids grow up completely ignorant of what the raw ingredients look like for any food they eat.
It's the rich fucks who have never done their own shopping that didn't understand how shit works.
Like how the pedo in chief thinks you need an id to buy groceries (he's said this multiple times while trying to push for draconian voter id laws)
Is it about using checks? Does he think people still write checks?
It's entirely possible that they know what bananas look like unpeeled, and they know what the inside of a banana looks like on a plate, but they've never seen for themselves how bananas move from one phase to the other.
Oh fuck I never considered that. That can't be true, bananas are everywhere in movies and shit right?
They are so far removed from a concrete reality that they've never seen a banana ripen. To the wealthy, all green bananas are bad and gross. The yellow bananas are good, and those are the ones people bring you when you pay them money for a banana, or the ones you see in your wealthy spaces.
For example, a wealthy person who has a fruit bowl on the counter will also have someone who changes the fruit out every day for fruit that is perfectly ripe that day. They may not even know fruit ages until they are well into adulthood and find out accidentally.
Yeah man, Americans only know hamburgers and corn. Everyone carries a gun and no one can read so fruit is a mystery. You definitely have the right idea about this place.
Stuff like this makes me feel good because it shows that we're not the only country where people are passively brainwashed by the media lol
They say suspiciously green banana in the same way they say Barack Hussein Obama.
I really hope there is a limit to how much Fox New's daily message of "suspect and hate anything that looks like progress"
Hopefully the concrete benefits of cheaper groceries will sway people.
I’ve got three suspiciously green bunches of bananas at home because that’s all they had. It just means I’ve got a week before they’re anywhere close to being edible.
I really hope there is a limit to how much Fox New’s
spoiler alert: there isn't
I know they ripen much more after etc.
But I was wondering do you guys frequently buy them this green still? The ones on offer around me are way more yellow already.
Maybe it's a difference in how supermarkets in the USA vs Switzerland do logistics or something, that's why I'm asking.
Estonian here, they usually show up moderately green in the store, oftentimes they'll still have the yellows from the last batch out when they bring in the fresh green ones. I prefer them a little green, I don't actually like yellow.
Just to add a data point, I don't know how green they come in the US
Also the ones on the photo are apparently plantains, which are much greener than cavendish bananas. Our regular bananas are never THIS green.
I buy for my family of four for the week. I have to buy them in a gradient from just-ripe yellow, to green as can be. Every time I hit the store I buy some that are this green.
It varies. The bananas in the picture are particularly green though.
Ah, nice to know that he's rich enough to have that option.
Yet they're the same people who will line up in droves at a freedom field station
