Bananas are already packaged!

What a ridiculous idea!

"It calls itself a "common sense" grocery store, but German-owned Austrian supermarket chain Billa made a recent public relations gaffe which suggests the opposite.

The store introduced pre-peeled, plastic-wrapped bananas."

Why discard natural packaging for more plastic to end up in a landfill?

Just wait until the air penetrates the packaging and starts to turn the fruit brown. They'll very soon learn the error of their ways!!!

I thought we were all doing something to save the planet.
Whoever came up with that daft idea is on a different planet.

Re: Bananas are already packaged!

Seems a stupid idea to me. Having said that. when my wife buys bananas and leaves them in a bowl for the grandkids to eat, if there is the slightest sign of brown on any one of them the lads wont eat it, they say it's going bad, which of course is nonsense, in a plastic bag they wouldn't see the skin.

It's just marketing. I noticed sometime ago packets of sliced apples in plastic packs for school lunches in the supermarket. Apples already come in perfect little packages but obviously they have found a market for these things because they are still on sale.

No one is compelled to buy them, apples and bananas are still only a few bucks a kilo.

Re: Bananas are already packaged!

Banana diet so good for keep good fitness and health.It give us good energy and strength.I agree with your reviews that bananas will make them fat is because an average banana has around 100 calories. The way most people think is,if they have 5 bananas a day it is 500 calories.

Malton matey, I cook my bananas. Add them to a bowl with flour, eggs, Sugar, dried fruit, walnuts and 2 Tblsp milk, place in a 2 lb loaf tin and slam in the oven for an hour. I think I might, in this way, be able to increase the calorific value of bananas.
