Bananas are a ticking time-bomb
Here’s the problem: You buy a bunch of bananas at the store and initially, they’re all green. Then one day…BOOM!!!…they’re all ripe at the same time. Now it’s a race against time. You might even have to eat two in one day. It’s banana overdose. Then you get sick of them and don’t want to buy bananas for a month. Then you miss them and the whole process begins anew.
Here’s my solution: Bananas should be sold individually, like apples. And stores should keep bananas at a variety of ripeness stages. This way, I could buy several bananas and enjoy them immediately and for the rest of the week. This doesn’t preclude stores from selling bananas the old-fashioned way, but it just offers the CHOICE of enjoying a bunch of bananas on MY schedule.
Ultimately, it’s a question of power. Why do bananas make the rules? And why do they all gang up against me?
This is a pointless rant on bananas. I’m sorry if you read this all the way through. God help you.

You buy four. You rip off the others in the bunch. One to taste test the ripeness. One in your cereal. Two for snacks.

Bananas are for monkeys.
