I see a lot of incredibly stupid things on
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Most of them political. But last night, Stewart introduced a product that boggled my mind.
It's Del Monte's Single Serve Banana. There are some in the picture. Yup. It's a banana in a plastic pouch. To paraphrase Stewart--and to express what I was thinking--What purpose does the plastic do that the banana peel doesn't already serve?
No offense to anyone who may have already bought one of these--or may in the future--but who is going to fork over what I assume will be more money to buy this? As Stewart said, it's for "those who love bananas, but hate their biodegradability."
We can only sit back and see what shows up next in our grocery store. For a good laugh, watch a
video of Jon Stewart and this great new product.
I'm gonna hazard a guess and say that it's because of some health department law that regulates "single serving size" items and requires them to be packaged as such? And then there's the plastic bag the convenience store clerk will put these into...
