Cheap

Except when some genius at your local Walmart changes the price from $0.87/pound to $1.56/banana.

My store went from number 1 in sales of bananas in the country to dead last in just under a week because whoever set the prices was an idiot.

Also genetic diversity is in the crapper. One epidemic and we won't have bananas anymore.

One epidemic and we won’t have bananas anymore.

Only for a few countries ;) There's still a lot of banana varieties eaten around the world.
