Tell us that this McIntosh never saw a grocery shop from the inside without saying this literally.
Calling McIntosh people might be the worst disservice here.
Do Americans not know how fruits work or is it just the Epstein class that doesn’t?
It’s the rich fucks who have never done their own shopping that didn’t understand how shit works.
Like how the pedo in chief thinks you need an id to buy groceries (he’s said this multiple times while trying to push for draconian voter id laws)
It’s entirely possible that they know what bananas look like unpeeled, and they know what the inside of a banana looks like on a plate, but they’ve never seen for themselves how bananas move from one phase to the other.
Oh fuck I never considered that. That can’t be true, bananas are everywhere in movies and shit right?
They are so far removed from a concrete reality that they’ve never seen a banana ripen. To the wealthy, all green bananas are bad and gross. The yellow bananas are good, and those are the ones people bring you when you pay them money for a banana, or the ones you see in your wealthy spaces.
For example, a wealthy person who has a fruit bowl on the counter will also have someone who changes the fruit out every day for fruit that is perfectly ripe that day. They may not even know fruit ages until they are well into adulthood and find out accidentally.
Is it about using checks? Does he think people still write checks?
No, if you’re being generous, you might explain it as him thinking the loyalty cards people scan are I’d cards.
Yeah man, Americans only know hamburgers and corn. Everyone carries a gun and no one can read so fruit is a mystery. You definitely have the right idea about this place.
Stuff like this makes me feel good because it shows that we’re not the only country where people are passively brainwashed by the media lol
Hey hey hey… you forgot pizza.
Corn. You mean that thing you make gas out of? What’s it got to do with groceries? /s
Come on, relax. The first part of the comment was rhetoric. It is telling that you comment as if it was meant seriously.
Yes. We know. The idiot that said the thing probably knows too.
It’s a sound bite to make Mamdani seem like he’s pushing bad food. That’s it.
You can’t really judge a country that large by its top 1% weirdest motherfuckers
Yeah but then can that 1% please shut the fuck up and fuck off?
Not with social media being owned by the billionaires.
dudes talking to themself again
Well, the voting behaviour didn’t really help with that…
Would that 1% stop voting pedos and idiots in charge?
I’m not sure if there’s been a good enough study on general “food literacy” to really know but I’d love to see one. Anecdotal so this is fairly worthless info: When I was a teen working at a pizza shop the amount of new hires that rolled through over the years that couldn’t recognize some/many of the toppings on sight was alarming to me. I don’t know how widespread that scenario is. I figure, at least some kids grow up completely ignorant of what the raw ingredients look like for any food they eat.
Reminds me of https://youtu.be/6gFnL-M7UxA
You seem to be under the false impression that most Americans have ever seen a fruit or vegetable.
I’m not an American myself but I’ve heard of food deserts aka areas where fresh food isn’t available. This context is important because without it, your comment might read as if it’s their fault
American here. Did desserts are very real things.
Did desserts
Yes. Whatever it was, desserts did.
I’m impressed that you managed to put a whole sentence together all by yourself! You should be very proud! Did you put your own socks on today too? Wow!
Fuck. Off.
We never met mr. Mcintosh, i’m mr. Cavendish.
David M McIntosh: yessssss when my personal shopper drives directly to the market to get food, then delivers them to my butler, who hands them off to my complement of personal chefs. I assure you therey’re nothing but the finest shade of yellow.
It’s one banana Mamdani, what could it cost, $10?
Banana Mamdani sounds like a tropical drink. 🍹🍸
Nah, $7. It’s 30% off!
There’s always money in the banana stand. Now, where’s my attorney?
That shithead has never once been in a grocery store or had to buy his own food. Shows how out of touch he is. Fuck off with that shit.
Personally I get the green nanners since they’ll last longer.
Smart people that aren’t fucking idiots also get green ones. Especially in this economy
Its a banana, how much could it cost? Ten dollars?
Depends. When bananas get too cold they can stay green and never ripen. Was a problem a few months ago because grocery stores should have been throwing them in the trash but sold these bad bananas anyway.
They weren’t even bananas, they were plantains. He calls them by name in the video.
Some real small plantains
I thought this was satire but looked up mr. macintosh and it’s real. Dude, are you on death’s door? No time to wait for the bananas to get ripe?
To be fair - If they are platanos - I wouldn’t buy such green plantains because those fuckers are green, green, green for weeks then yellow but not ready and I forget about them and miss the one day they are ripe.
My first rule is if they’re conservative, take it with a grain of salt.
If they’re a white conservative, less of that.
If they’re a old white conservative, of fuck off. No opinion of theirs is valid.
To be fair - If they are platanos - I wouldn’t buy such green plantains because those fuckers are green, green, green for weeks then yellow but not ready and I forget about them and miss the one day they are ripe.
You just described avocados except on a longer time scale. Avocados are a like “Sike! I was ripe at 12:56 pm and it is now 12:59 pm. I now no longer ripe.”
Depends on what you’re making with them, but for maduros I agree. Gotta get them when they’re spotted brown.
Yes, I like them in the Cuban style, almost overripe, fried in butter, then a little salt. So delicious. Luckily the stores around here do put out both green and ripe platanos.
Tell me you’re too rich to do your own grocery shopping/cooking without telling me.
Those look like guineo or they could be plantains as well OR it could be really, really fresh bananas 🤷♀️. Nonetheless, this just proves that conservative republicans are ignant’ assholes.
And look how curvy they are. How is he going to stick that in his butt?
The male hooker he engages at least twice a week has more of a curve than that banana. Its why hes a return customer, really crashes into his prostate like a semi-truck hitting a chihuahua
If you eat a banana in Europe or the U.S., there’s a 99% chance it was harvested just as green as the one in the picture.
Today, bananas are harvested unripe in their countries of origin because they’re much easier to transport that way, and they’re then fumigated with ethylene in large ripening facilities at their destination to allow them to ripen further. This way, the logistics process is less stressful during transport, and the customer gets a perfectly ripe banana at the store… though I don’t understand why they used bananas for the photo that were taken out of the ripening house too early.
In the US, bananas often hit the store shelves this color. They will ripen quickly over the following 3-4 days. You can decide to buy the ones that have ripened on the shelves or buy greener ones and let them ripen at home. Unripe bananas have several culinary uses, so it’s good to have this option
I much prefer to have a range of ripeness when buying bananas, otherwise you need to wait 4 days for them to ripen and now you have 24 hours to eat 8 bananas.
I didn’t know that. In Europe they’re often somewhat greenish when the shelve is freshly stocked but I think I never found such green ones pictured here… that’s what made me wonder.
Not far from where we used to live in the UK there was a road sign directing you to the “Banana depot”
This be one of the places you speak of
Did it always have a nice sweet smell in the area?
I used to live close to a chocolate factory. Sometimes it smelled ok and a lot of people commented they like it. To me most of the time it smelt like burnt chocolate, which was kind of sickening.
Wondering if ripening possibly rotting bananas in large quantities would have a similar effect.
Not a smell at all. I never got really close, but nothing wafted across the lands
I dunno, we buy green bananas all the time as different people in the house have different banana ripeness preferences. We also eat heaps and buying them green means less trips to the shops
…no one on Planet Earth doesn’t know this.
Bananas that green are the best possible buy for longevity. Then you grab one or two singles that are yellow to go with them.
The yellow ones will make the green ones yellow faster as long as you keep them together.
Ironically, there’s a phrase for someone who’s so old and out of touch that they might as well be on death’s doorstep:
“Don’t buy green bananas.”
(In the South it’s often used in a self deprecating way: “let’s just say I don’t buy green bananas.”)
Ain’t no one got time for that shit.
I’m starting in on the first banana on the way home from the store. Gotta be quick with those fuckers. Otherwise it’s a day later and you’re like “welp, gotta make bread I guess.” Eyes tearing up. It’s like a funeral for those little removed.
You’re tempted to switch these with a fresh one from the store if you have any kids in the house, like you did when the goldfish died. I can’t tell a kid the banana went to go live on a farm upstate.
Dude, break off a couple yellows, grab some greens for later.
