  1. I’d say in our house we go through, on average, 25-30 a week. Holy fuck I love bananas.

    Edit: was supposed to be in reply to OPs comment. I made a balls of it.

  2. Irelands biggest export for years was Bananas.

    There are different tax rules applied for manufacturing processes in Ireland than other business.
    In order to encourage industry, it’s more favorable to be actually making something rather than just a company name.

    Fyffes figured out that strictly speaking, allowing banana’s to ripen means that they go out a different product than they came in…. & that counts as a manufacturing process.

  3. I saw a stat that Fyffes purchase the whole banana crop of the country of Belize annually. Is that true?

  4. Recently the bananas I’ve bought are a bit mealy and bland. Makes me sad. But then aren’t I lucky to have bananas at all.
