Review on Amazon: A banana for scale should be to scale https://a.co/d/aAZPaX4

Alt text

1 star review by user “Tall Guys Wife” on Amazon of a rubber banana that has the words [for scale] on it.
Picture attached shows rubber banana is smaller than real banana.

Review text reads: “purchased this 'banana for scale, but it’s way smaller than an average banana. People on social media demand if you’re showing something that you use an average banana for scale. I would never deceive anyone with this ridiculous substitute for an accurate measuring tool.”

      Thank you for the hope. You can still buy the gros michel, but it’s breathtakingly expensive. I’d love to finally try one.

        Well then just buy one banana. How much could it cost, $10?

          You can only buy them by the crate and their hundreds of dollars and you can pretty much be guaranteed that half of them will spoil during shipment. I may actually go in with a number of other people and purchase an entire crate of them but I’m not really sure I could find enough people that will be willing to pay or split the cost, especially with the knowledge that a bunch of them are probably going to spoil along the way.

          Edit: It’s $36 for one banana with shipping costs.

          $127 for a small box. I don’t have that kind of banana money
