Everyone knows the tale of Brand X getting bought out by some faceless global conglomerate and going to shit, but does the opposite ever happen?

BANANA!

Without the many republics and massive damage done we would not have the cheap bananas we all rely on for potassium and low level radiation.

i really hope you can clarify, are you saying genocide is justifiable to have cheap bananas?

I think it's sarcasm, mate, but I could be wrong

I think he thinks "BANANA" is a company.

[-] Archer@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I do enjoy a BANANA brand banana

It is a dig on all banana companies as I don't know any that operate today with clean hands.

If someone can name a non villain banana producer I would like that.

Miami Fruit is expensive but they haven't committed any crimes against humanity that I'm aware of. They had lots of varieties last time I ordered but it's been a while.

Neat, did not think I would be reading about something good in Florida today. Thanks!
