    Fantastic idea, but did they need to use plastic packaging?

      of course, because you’re not allowed to have perfect.

      They even wrap single apples in plastic in Korea. The environmental thinking is slowly adapting though.

      That’s literally the first thing I thought of while looking at that picture. There’s no good reason for this. Bananas serve many purposes from green to yellow to black. Moreover, that “one per day” gimmick won’t even give you the same ripeness.

    I mean, that is mildly interesting, but it’s so fucking silly. So unnecessary…

      Seriously… Just pick the exact ripeness of each one in any store where I live. Mix and match, it’s totally, 100% socially acceptable to do this.

        You can’t buy individual bananas in many places in my country.

        I’m not buying three bunches of bananas, each at different stages of ripeness. That’s a ridiculous amount of bananas.

          You can’t? Are fruits/produce not sold by weight over there?

            Yeah you might weigh the bunch of bananas at the checkout, but you won’t find many individual bananas at most supermarkets.

            You might see individual pieces of fruit sold with lunch meal deals (sandwiches, drink fruit etc) but not in the regular grocery section.

              So this is interesting… if you see a bunch of bananas, you’re not allowed to break one off? Here in the United States, it’s totally acceptable to do this. You can straight up go around and pull one banans off of 7 different bunches, and nobody will even look at you funny.
