    Just buy more bananas. How much could a banana cost? $10?

        I worked at a Walmart for a bit and one day they had me change the price tags on the bananas and I immediately had to ask and make sure the tags were correct because they went from like $0.70 per pound, to $1.68 per banana.

        Until they went back to a per pound price, banana sales basically stopped at the store.

    You can cut the second to last banana a little lower, and leave the top of the stim attached to keep it hanging

      Until I read your answer, I was picturing a kiosk selling frozen bananas with a countertop (a diner would be a countertop restaurant, in this naming convention). My only excuse is that I just woke up

      Wait you cut them all? You don’t just tear the bananas apart from each other?

      Cutting, a stand, all feels like an overcomplication of a simple fruit

    I read this as being addressed to owners of businesses that sell bananas off a countertop and had an existential crisis wondering how the fuck I never realized that was a thing

    Let alone why it’d be an issue for them to have only a single banana left in stock

      What’s this “nature’s way” crap, when the bananas are hanging upside down?

              Where on the scale is that? Is it higher or lower than supernatural?

              A banana for scale would be helpful.

                It is higher than the banana, relative to the direction they’re oriented. Determining which orientation is correct is left as an exercise to the reader.

      This is the way. Cut the second to last banana below the stem. Works perfectly.

    Mine it for potassium-40. Radioactive products sell for more than one banana, which as others have noted cost $10 but if you can purify the radioactive elements, you can probably get $11 or even $12.

      Plus, the YouTube revenue. Imagine me and Nile Red turning a banana into something where we get a visit from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. They’d pay upwards of $14.50.

    You rip the second-last one off to leave the stem, which now becomes a hook.
