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.
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.

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.
In the US, bananas often hit the store shelves this color. They will ripen quickly over the following 3-4 days. You can decide to buy the ones that have ripened on the shelves or buy greener ones and let them ripen at home. Unripe bananas have several culinary uses, so it's good to have this option
I much prefer to have a range of ripeness when buying bananas, otherwise you need to wait 4 days for them to ripen and now you have 24 hours to eat 8 bananas.
I didn't know that. In Europe they're often somewhat greenish when the shelve is freshly stocked but I think I never found such green ones pictured here... that's what made me wonder.
Did it always have a nice sweet smell in the area?
I used to live close to a chocolate factory. Sometimes it smelled ok and a lot of people commented they like it. To me most of the time it smelt like burnt chocolate, which was kind of sickening.
Wondering if ripening possibly rotting bananas in large quantities would have a similar effect.
I dunno, we buy green bananas all the time as different people in the house have different banana ripeness preferences. We also eat heaps and buying them green means less trips to the shops
I’m starting in on the first banana on the way home from the store. Gotta be quick with those fuckers. Otherwise it’s a day later and you’re like “welp, gotta make bread I guess.” Eyes tearing up. It’s like a funeral for those little bitches.
You’re tempted to switch these with a fresh one from the store if you have any kids in the house, like you did when the goldfish died. I can’t tell a kid the banana went to go live on a farm upstate.
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.

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."
Yes, I like them in the Cuban style, almost overripe, fried in butter, then a little salt. So delicious. Luckily the stores around here do put out both green and ripe platanos.
Depends. When bananas get too cold they can stay green and never ripen. Was a problem a few months ago because grocery stores should have been throwing them in the trash but sold these bad bananas anyway.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
Those look like guineo or they could be plantains
as well OR it could be really, really fresh bananas 🤷‍♀️. Nonetheless, this just proves that conservative republicans are ignant’ assholes.
The male hooker he engages at least twice a week has more of a curve than that banana. Its why hes a return customer, really crashes into his prostate like a semi-truck hitting a chihuahua
David M McIntosh: yessssss when my personal shopper drives directly to the market to get food, then delivers them to my butler, who hands them off to my complement of personal chefs. I assure you therey're nothing but the finest shade of yellow.
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.
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.
Is David M. McIntosh a typical customer of the government run grocery stores? Is it normal for wealthy people to travel from another state to shop there?
