Default Earth University Bananas

So I have a new intern at work from Earth University and I asked him about the bananas and what variety they were and he told me Gros Michel. I don't know how true that is, but if so you can get Earth University bananas at Whole Foods.

I always check out bananas at every grocery store I go to. I think they were the same price at Whole Foods as they were at Publix. Whole Foods has also been my banana box supplier from time to time. Plenty of NK Lago's bananas have been packed into Earth banana boxes.

I wouldn't think that was legal or ethical.

It's easy to see if it's a Gros Michel, just eat one or two and stare at your feet.

If you're suddenly barefoot, then it's a Gros Michel, I've heard they'll knock your socks off.

I think everybody down here packs into someone else's box. The boxes are $4-$5 each and they want you to order 2000 at a time.
