you know, i've heard that before a banana ever even hits the store shelves, there's this prearrival requirement where they've got to go undercover, blending in with ordinary fruits, to ensure they aren't too ripe or too green. it's like they're agents, renouncing their true nature until the perfect moment, only to rebegin their journey into our homes as the perfect snack. illuminati stuff right there, if you ask me.
