For me, it was bananas. I love them, but as a kid, my mom wouldn't buy them, because she thought they were too expensive.

As an adult with a good job and my first apartment, I would pass bananas in the grocery store, automatically thinking they were too expensive, but one day I noticed the price, and thought "That's not expensive, I can afford that," and I bought bananas for the first time.

That was decades ago, and now I buy bananas on almost every grocery trip.

Bananas expensive?? They're usually the cheapest fruit around. My mother loved giving them to us. Sometimes we'd slice them long wise so they'd have a flat top, then put chocolate chips on there! Great after school snack.

It's one banana, Michael! What could it possibly cost? $10?

There are old fucks around here. Back in the war things were different.

That's nice that your family can afford them. Back in the 60s, my family couldn't.

They're definitely the cheapest right now. I can get a large bunch of bananas for the price of one peach locally
