I went to the shops today and all the bananas they are selling are straight - not a little bent as is traditional. It was the same at the greengrocers and the supermarket. Apparently, they are growing bananas straight these days so they can fit more in the boxes for transport.
It's a little disconcerting. I'm not sure about eating straight bananas; I'm used to the bent shape as I eat it.
This has given a whole new meaning to the saying "Going straight". It used to mean "live an honest life after being a criminal", now it means eating a straight banana.
What do you think? Have you seen a straight banana? Would you eat one or would you feel cautious in any way?
Nothing is as it used to be. Everything is changing.
Imma lookin for the straight banana but they ain't made it over here yet!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the song lyrics, that is first time I ever knew what Bob said. THANKS for everything..
The straight bananas taste of chicken; but then ... everything does these days ... except chicken!
DeleteAs the lyrics say ... times are changing.
God bless, my friend.
A straight banana is a new one on me, Victor. I think I'd be suspicious. And thanks for Bob Dylan's iconic song. Yes, the times are always changing. God bless!
ReplyDeleteHave you noticed, Martha; every day we hear that something has happened that has never happened before. Watching the news on TV is becoming frightfully depressing. It was different back then ... those were the days my friend ...
DeleteGod bless.
I have seen my share of change over 8o+ years. I wish I could say it was all good change. We do our best to show others there is a better way, The way of the cross. Blessings my friend.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, Irish Cherokee; our role is to show the world that there is a better way with Jesus - The way, the Light and the Truth.
DeleteGod bless you.
I think I would be wary of a straight banana! lol
ReplyDeleteYes, me too Sandie.
DeleteGod bless.
If that's all there is, I would probably peel and investigate a little further before eating it. :)
ReplyDeleteVery wise thing to do, Bill. God bless.
DeleteI haven't seen a straight banana! :) I turned a couple of bananas into some muffins today. :)
ReplyDeleteBanana muffins taste great, straight or otherwise.
DeleteGod bless, K.
Gosh, I need to start paying more attention while in our grocer's produce section. Yes, I'd be suspicious!
ReplyDeleteWhat memories this song brings back ... thank you!
I used to play that song on the radio way back then ... before we all went bananas.
DeleteGod bless you, Mevely.
No straight bananas for me!
ReplyDeleteNor me, Debby. God bless always.
DeleteWe still get mostly curvy bananas, I wonder why.
