Ahhhh, it pays to look closer.

Much to my chagrin, the bananas at Wal-Mart near where I live? They haven't been Chiquita for a year now. It's some company from Costa Rica. I can't remember the name but there was an email address that started with transrican...something@gmail.com

They were putting out fresh bananas though - and they were different from the bananas that were there (I happened to notice what he was doing and went and grabbed one he was tossing out and compared it to the fresh ones). Different length, width and even the curve was different.

Anyway, thought I'd make it clear I was wrong about Chiquita at Wal-Mart! The only Chiquita at Wal-Mart is Fresh Express bags of lettuce.

However - the bananas that are there now? 64 cents a pound.
