Default Re: CNBC Banana history...

I saw this and was immediately reminded of the old UFC footage (linked on this forum) from the 40s. On that video I thought "Huh, they had airplanes in the 1940s?" and on this special I really enjoyed all the historical footage / photos. Although it is not a very happy story, with workers getting shot down in the streets at the behest of the United Fruit Company (now Chiquita).
