It's one banana Mamdani, what could it cost, $10?

Do Americans not know how fruits work or is it just the Epstein class that doesn't?

If you eat a banana in Europe or the U.S., there’s a 99% chance it was harvested just as green as the one in the picture.

Today, bananas are harvested unripe in their countries of origin because they’re much easier to transport that way, and they’re then fumigated with ethylene in large ripening facilities at their destination to allow them to ripen further. This way, the logistics process is less stressful during transport, and the customer gets a perfectly ripe banana at the store... though I don’t understand why they used bananas for the photo that were taken out of the ripening house too early.

Ironically, there's a phrase for someone who's so old and out of touch that they might as well be on death's doorstep:

"Don't buy green bananas."

(In the South it's often used in a self deprecating way: "let's just say I don't buy green bananas.")

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.

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.

Tell me you're too rich to do your own grocery shopping/cooking without telling me.

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.

They weren't even bananas, they were plantains. He calls them by name in the video.

They never heard of a plantain?

Get him to guess the price

Its just because he's part of big apple has nothing to do with the politician or bananas. He's just trying to divert people from eating non apple fruits.

They're obviously woke bananas that will make you gay!

He never bothered to even watch the video clearly. I did and I remember Zohran clearly saying they were plaintains.

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.

Don't trust the government - republicans that run the government. ????

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

Bananas that green are the best possible buy for longevity. Then you grab one or two singles that are yellow to go with them.

It's true, I don't want to eat green bananas, but I also don't want to eat brown bananas.

I keep seeing "green banana" posts but I saw the video this is from and those are plantains

Yall fruits don’t continue to ripen at home?

We look for the green bananas because we need them to not spoil to fast.

I mean these are kinda excessively green. They really shouldn't be harvested this early but then again transporting them across the world to NYC requires a very early harvest to avoid spoilage.

Once you taste a banana that was harvested when it was ripe you'll never want another supermarket banana again.

This asshole doesn’t know that a beautiful bunch o ripe banana hiding deadly black tarantula

Then don't you dumb rat-fuck pedophile protector. Jesus Christ, that tweet was worth it, eh?

Ah, nice to know that he's rich enough to have that option.
