Somewhere in Europe, there is a very disappointed drug dealer staring at a number of boxes that contain nothing but delicious, healthful South American bananas.
"I don't care if you have to eat every banana you are going to find the drugs"
Banana bread is good though
Just imagine cocaine bread though. 🤔
That's a good point. Plus, it's summer, and you can't do summer without a banana split here and there.
Is... is it summer? we are about to have fucking october.
checks
Aw, looks like fall started yesterday:

The fall equinox and the first day of autumn arrives on Sunday, September 22, 2024, at 08:44 A.M. EDT in the Northern Hemisphere.
Seems crazy that official summer lasted until just now, wow. Didn't realize that
I still wish we would adjust our calender system by a few months, so the seasons align better with each quarter.
I've never had a banana split... Now I wonder if I've ever really done summer.
You're okay if you have done watermelons.
Asset managers gonna be snorting pure whole bananas to stay awake.
I'm guessing the store employees originally uncovered 100 kgs of cocaine
If I found money I'd take it. But wtf would I even do with all that cocaine? I have no idea who I would sell that much to without getting arrested or killed. I would just turn it in and ask for a reward
But wtf would I even do with all that cocaine?
People seem to super enjoy doing the cocaine itself!
There was a reddit post years ago, I think from /u/borax, with guidance on this scenario. Essentially he recommended splitting the cocaine up into Mason jars and burying them. As long as you were patient and didn't tell anyone, you could have a lifetime supply of coke to sell or share with your friends.
Meanwhile in Austria
Do you have pictures of the banana costumes?
From now on whenever someone goes undercover I imagine them as speaking Banana
I would love to see the faces of those policemen when they read this article...
That's bananas
Somebody’s family is having a rough week
There's always money in the banana crate.
Soon to be appearing in Aldis middle aisle?
Is that the one with the random $20 disposable boomboxes and drones nobody wants?
Something like this happened at a fruit distributor in the Netherlands and they called the cops. Arrests where made but due to a fuckup during trial a full list of the fruit companies employees where left in a file that went to the defence. One lawyer refused to remove it and several years of threats and attacks on the fruit distributors personell followed.
How much could one kilo of bananas cost?
100k?
There's always cocaine in the banana stand.
Well gee wiz, so that's where it went
Johnny Chimpo back to his old shenanigans!
Whats the going rate on bananas these days?
I thought bananas were nature's candy, not nature's nose candy.
You haven't lived until you put a banana up your nose.
Separate in small containers and sell at the pharmacy section.
Why always bananas? Why nobody tried to hide coke in idk, flour packs?
Maybe because only the bad ones get caught 🤔
NGL I've never heard of banana Coke before.
Banana was too bonita
Niiice, jackpot! Easily worth more than a few boxes of bananas!
Probably coming from Guayaquil's port
This week's Special Buys.
Knowing the Germans there is a slight chance somebody going to court because it was advertised as 1.5€/kg, and winning

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
