I like bananas, always have.
They are hailed as one of the most perfect foods. They are easy to eat, you just peel and go, and often I have made a breakfast on the run all the nicer because of the delicious and convenient banana.
In Australia, Tropical Cyclone Larry destroyed 80 per cent of Australia’s banana crops earlier this year forcing a hike in prices which currently rests at an average of $12/kg.
Ok, bummer, if you like bananas, that’s a lot of money to pay for them.
But this was taken to extremes. An Australian, put his sole banana he bought and took photos of it, and placed it for the highest bidder at eBay. He got an offer of $26 (plus shipping).
