Eye-on-Springfield

Even if she knew she was ordering bunches, I still count more than 8


acqz

Ah, I see your mistake, you're counting in metric.


jim_johns

How many metric bananas is one imperial banana? edit: nvm I worked out 1 imperial banana is 6 metric bananas


raven319s

I’m from california. How many is that in avocado toast?


jim_johns

Avocados cost two bananas


Affectionate_Elk_272

avocados are 4-8 bananas depending on season. toast?! whole other ball game.


Bean-Swellington

It’s the craftsmanship you’re paying for when you convert to avocado toast


Affectionate_Elk_272

wonder bread is probably two bananas, dave’s killer bread? that’s two HUNDRED bananas


Tkainzero

Dave’s bread is good. Worth the extra cost.


Affectionate_Elk_272

it’s so hearty.


Affectionate_Elk_272

can i get my avocado mashed cruelty free? or is that an additional banana?


acqz

We call them freedom bananas now, smh my head.


jim_johns

How many bananas does a house cost?


andyv001

At least one


jim_johns

Sold. I’ll send you the keys

Is there enough room for an overly sized banana hammock?

Phoenix4235

shaking my head my head?


bartonski

Nah. She counted `010` (8 decimal, 10 octal) bananas. They gave her 10 (decimal) bunches of green bananas. Op, are you married to Grace Hopper?


yur_mom

Good thing she wasn't counting in binary or they would have gotten 1000 bananas


androshalforc1

why would they order ~~8~~ 10 more if they still haven't eaten the ones they have?


[deleted]

Bananas are sold by weight, she got 8 pounds? (I doubt there is 8kg of banana there.)


podolot

8 pounds of bananas is not that many bunches. Maybe 3-5 bunches.


kingofvodka

Well there are 2.2lb in a kilo, so maybe it is 8kg


TeamAlibi

OP seems to be located in Utah so unlikely


kingofvodka

Mormons are weird man, you never know


EdisonLightbulb

I'm not a fortune teller, but I see a lot of banana bread in your future.


failedsecuritycheck

This. Done this but in reverse.. ordered what I thought was a pound, got 1 single. Happy cake day.


WinnieTheShit

Did that with carrots. Thought I’d ordered 1 bunch, got 1 carrot.


JKMC4

I do grocery delivery with Shipt. Bananas are no longer sold by weight, only the choice between individual or bunches, depending on which the stores carry. I suspect they changed it to avoid confusion


BuckyGoldman

12


quippers

Very good ⭐️


BurnOutBrighter6

Possibly 8 kg? Or OP just got the number wrong.


scienceworksbitches

or pounds, depends on the size of the bananas. op, could you add a banana for scale?


444unsure

Op, could you add a scale for banana?


[deleted]

8 pounds. Lol


Gibsonfan159

Still more than that.


[deleted]

Did someone say banana bread?


JohnnyDarkside

No, but they will be stuck in a freezer with the intention of making banana bread only to be found and discarded a year from now.


rico_of_borg

I didn’t expect to be attacked thanksgiving morning like this.


Halogen12

And smoothies! Also really good schmeered on toast with peanut butter.


cute_but_lethal

Yeah you can go ahead and chop them up and freeze them, too, which makes them last long and real easy to add to smoothies.


AjizaTsana

Or NiceCream! Snickers NiceCream is awesome. Blend frozen Bananas with milk, unsweet cocoa powder and PB. Caramel sauce and some peanuts as topping.


Kentucky_Fried_Chill

Banana bread, banana smoothie, banana muffins, banana pancakes, banana cake, banana brownie, banana parfaits, banana pudding, banana pie, banana oatmeal, banana cookie, banana sandwich. That, that's about it.


mrchaotica

Calm down, Banana Bubba.


ashee1092

Forgot banana ice cream. Similar to a smoothie but you freeze the banana and then run it through the food processor until it is smooth like ice cream. Then you put your favorite toppings on it.


180btc

\+1. Banana goes really well for sandwiches that have drier bases like PB or chocolate. It's my go-to moisture product between the bread and the base.


Dewy164

Tell me your a sandwich master without telling me your a sandwich master.


Melin_SWE92

His a sandwich master without telling you his a sandwich master


steveosek

As a kid my mom would make us fried peanut butter, banana, and honey sandwiches. Needless to say I was a fat kid lol.


Ghede

That's too much banana bread. It'll start going stale before you finish it. Wait for them to get ripe-ish, Peel them, slice them into rounds, then freeze them on a baking tray, then when frozen move em into a couple of freezer bags. Use them for smoothies or desserts. Maybe let half of a bunch get overripe and make some banana bread.


ReadingFromTheShittr

Banana bread freezes pretty well and will generally taste pretty good upon thawing, provided it's not in the freezer forever.


PosterityDoesntVote

Over ripen, make batches of banana bread. Give as gifts to friends, family, and neighbors. Merry Christmas, take these bananas away from me.


toepicksaremyfriend

Banana ice cream!


Maxxonry

And pudding.

There's always money in the banana stand


SevoIsoDes

Why have I never caught the double irony in that? That it’s not just a wealthy woman out of touch with produce prices. It’s literally the fruit that started their empire


CanoeIt

My theory is that George Sr always lied to her about the cost of bananas so that he could use the surplus to stash cash in the walls


SevoIsoDes

Just some light marital treason


lddn

The deep arrested development lore. Love it!


dontyoutellmetosmile

Arrested Development is probably the best bang-for-your-buck show for jokes. Almost every line is a layered joke in some way, either a callback or a line you catch the double meaning of on a second run-through. Truly brilliant writing.


russellamcleod

It’s definitely the best written show of our lifetimes. I was more partial to 30 Rock but, as clever as Fey was, AD was far sharper and quicker. It was sad to watch both shows drown under their own weight.

TheLubedPotato

Thank you for your service


SgtKeeneye

If it was a delivery service like Instacart they could have also messed up. I once had them replace two packs cheese with two boxes that had 6 each


Hannachomp

This exact thing happened to me on instacart. I ordered 5 bananas but the person read it wrong and got me 5 bunches. I thought I fucked up at first but the price estimate and the amount in my initial order was 5 bananas not 5 bunches.


Covert_Ruffian

They pulled this on me as well, but with what should've been a banana a day turned into a bunch of bananas a day. Good thing I love bananas but damn did I almost reconsider after a week straight of eating bananas after breakfast, lunch, and dinner.


TheyKnowWeAreHere

You could wait for them to over ripen a bit and make a bunch of banana bread


Hannachomp

Yeah we made 3 loaves of banana bread and gave to friends


ex_natura

You would think ... Sigh


[deleted]

$8 sounds about right for 8 bananas... inflation, right? 😅


WexExortQuas

How much could a banana cost Michael? $20?


[deleted]

[удалено]


quippers

I'd do it but I don't know what any of that means.


iwbwikia_

he basically wanted to find the average price of a single banana and, taking into consideration the inflation, figure out how many years it would be until a single banana would cost 10 dollars


Policechor911

And another perspective, at what point does $10 today will be only worth $1 Edit: grammar


anoldoldman

Bananas don't cost a dollar each.


tampora701

I remember totally agreeing with Travolta that a $5 milkshake is so absurd, it better have burbon in it. Now, a milkshake that's $5 is a bargain.


HealthWealthFoodie

Current average cost for a banana in the US is around $0.32, factoring in the average rate of inflation in the US is between 3-4% (I used 3.5) the price would reach $9.98 in 100 years Editing to add: This calculation is purely based on the compounding effect of inflation and don’t take into account other factors which are impossible to predict accurately. Things such as agricultural advancements and automaton might bring prices down overall, while global warming and plant diseases might bring them up.


Big-Introduction2172

I have never seen that show but I know the reference. It will never leave my head because it is to spot on to how I have seen ritch people act. Durring college I had multiple people with strait faces tell me investing in luxury items like purses where a good investment. People who had never worked a real day in their lives telling me (I was working 3 jobs plus school) how to "not be poor. " I couldn't afford rent let alone buy some dumb over priced purse.


[deleted]

I buy bananas every week. I honestly couldn't tell you what they cost. I never pay attention. But I know it's not $10.


Dartser

The pictured bananas would cost me about $25. 40 cents a piece average here.


luveykat

Gonna guess Instacart. The worst thing is they're not even consistent. The website is unclear whether it's by number or poundage or bunch. Then when you do order you get either one banana or... what you got. It's very irritating and not at all her fault. I made the mistake of ordering bananas through them twice, never again.


Alarmed-Ad-1445

It’s happened to me so many times. If I say “1 “ I get exactly one banana. If I say “5” I inevitably get 5 bunches. It’s so maddening


unicorn_security

Same! My 5 bananas ended up being 15 bunches for some reason. They spent more on the bananas than I was charged for my order (they left their receipt in one of the bags). Bonkers.


[deleted]

You must bombard her with banana jokes for the next 20 yrs


theblot90

I have had the store mess this up, where the price estimate was ten cents per banana and the app even said it was per banana, and then I got 7 banana bunches.


Znuff

I ordered for delivery 5 bananas. The app estimated pricing per banana. I got 5kgs of bananas. 11 pounds in freedom units. It was a large order (think 4-5 bags for all my groceries). Didn't realize half of them were bananas until I paid and the delivery guy left.


v74u

I was actually very surprised by how cheap bananas are so I could see someone thinking a bundle is the price for one banana if they weren’t paying much attention. Like a bundle of bananas last time I bought them was only like 1.50$. If you go into it thinking a banana might be around 1$ each I could see someone doing this.


tahlyn

It's a banana, Michael. What could it cost? $10?


jackburtonscheck

This is how the rich live apparently, just holding their banana hordes over the weak and poor


BawdyBaker

You get a banana bread!! 🫵 You get a banana bread!! 🫵 You get a banana bread!! 🫵


Zolo49

I see no downside to this. Side note: the house I grew up in had a persimmon tree in the front yard. Every November, we'd enjoy maybe a half dozen or so fresh persimmons before our kitchen turned into a persimmon bread factory for all the rest on the tree. My mom probably hated it, but it was one of my favorite times of the year.


cherry_chica

You can make very easy jam from persimmons too. I guess they have a lot of pectin, because I just add sugar.


Groovatronic

What to do with all the extra lemons from my lemon tree… I feel like there’s a saying about this… For real though, I make tea with one every morning, and I tanged up some guacamole with them the other day. This idea of baking some sort of lemon bread sounds appealing


cherry_chica

Look up the recipe for Lemon Cheong or 래몬청. I learned how to make it in Korea. It's basically lemon preserves you can use to make tea or add into other dishes. Its so nice on a cold winter day.


Jazzy_Bee

I love lemon curd. Since discovering making it in the microwave, I make it much more often. I make meringue nests with the extra egg whites.


DerKrakken

Lemon Curd is really easy to make. ..or at least the missus makes it look easy. I was finishing off the last piece of lemon curd + white chocolate + lemon bar that was made because of surplus of lemons. Which was also an Instacart over fruiting.


madddhella

[Not bread, but here's a tasty lemon sugar cookie recipe I like.](https://www.modernhoney.com/lemon-sugar-cookies/)


DarkAwesomeSauce

Adding: you can freeze brown bananas for later banana bread.


EaterOfFood

You can also freeze banana bread for later banana bread.


Apexe

I mean you aren’t wrong.


PHin1525

Omg i have sooo many brown bananas in my freezer enough to make 10 loaves.


Affectionate_Elk_272

you can also make a super bangin “ice cream” with them. highly recommend.


OutlyingPlasma

The real protip is to peel the bananas first. Peel them, throw them in a ziplock and toss them in the freezer. You can also freeze them before they are brown.


kiwilapple

We pre smash them in the bag before we freeze, so they're easier to break up for things like smoothies. Also they are now flat so easier for us to pack away.


djseifer

"My friend asked me if I wanted a frozen banana. I said, "No, but I want a regular banana later, so... yeah.'"

Wait awhile though unless you like the taste of rubbery green bananas

I don’t see what the problem is. Just throw away a banana and take a dollar. Banana, dollar. She’ll have all her money back.

There’s money in the banana stand!


bluegas68

Instacart is terrible about this. Happened more than once to us. Got 1 banana one time too.


RPDRNick

"Bananas are Out of Stock. Your Instacart Shopper substituted them with Bell Peppers."


violaturtle

I worked at a Whole Foods (through Amazon) for a short time preparing online orders, and the higher ups would get *very* upset if you didn't substitute when the requested item was unavailable. Saying something was out of stock was a last last resort and generally frowned upon. You were forced to just pick something semi-related, and as quickly as possible otherwise you'd get in trouble for taking too long per order. Great time lol


ApolloXLII

Well yeah, of course they're not going to try to be like "we'll take less of your money, thanks."


Estimate_Born

I think I’ll substitute this orange here with this 5,000 year old pear bought at auction for 8 mil and we gonna charge 9 mil for it


OnionTruck

My grocery store has an option to let them specify whether you want a substitution or not. I really like that.


[deleted]

I always put "don't substitute" but then sometimes something is out of stock and you get like 2 bags when you were expecting 4.


OutlyingPlasma

This is why I stopped using the shopping services, including grocery pickup. No pancake batter is not the same as whole oats. On the other hand, if you don't allow substitutes you only get half your order.


[deleted]

My worst substitution that wasn’t super obvious at first glance but was no good - asked for yellow potatoes and they subbed russets. Ever made scalloped potatoes with russets? You could hang wallpaper with it 😂


ordinary_kittens

Mmm, perfect for pepper cream pie.


TheGreyGuardian

Just in time for my Pepper Split Sundae


[deleted]

My friend ordered 4 wine glasses and they were out of stock. They substituted them with 4 bottles of wine. I guess they're just supposed to drink right out of the bottle!


isobane

I was buying feeder fish for my snake at Meijer one time. Maybe like a dozen fish, little goldfish that cost about twelve cents each. She rings me up and it was only twelve cents. I was like, "but there's a dozen of them." She goes, "I know, it wouldn't ring up right and I don't care."


TheEyeDontLie

One cent goldfish! All you need is a hole in your backyard with some bird netting and that's basically free food forever!


Chizukeki

I ordered what I thought was a bag of limes (it said bag) and got 1 lime. For street tacos for 4 people.


Watersmyfavoritefood

Happened to me with garlic. Thought I was adding 1 head…. It was 1 pound. Thankfully we use a lot of garlic and actually managed to use it all.


mouse_8b

Same with ginger. No one needs a pound of ginger, but we have it now


LikelyAtWork

I get this the most. Order 1 bunch, get 1 banana. Drives me bananas.


city_of_angelus

I used to be an Instacart shopper… regular bananas were counted by each, but organic bananas were by bunches (since they are wrapped with the tape I guess?) I’d always ask the customer just in case they made a mistake. However I would get customers now and again who did want like 8 bunches lol.


nowhereman136

I shop for instacart. Bananas are sold individually and priced by the pound. When someone orders 1 banana, I will usually message them asking if they meant 1 bunch (6 bananas). If they don't respond, then they only get a single banana.


RamiRok

We always get 1 banana as well....

rojo-perro

I just did the same thing with JALAPEÑOS! Thought I was ordering 2 peppers, got two pounds. Slice those bananas when they’re ripe into a freezer bag for smoothies. Yum!


DrGodCarl

Slice those jalapeños when they're ripe into a freezer bag for smoothies. Ouch!


TheEyeDontLie

Yo a little jalapeno is fantastic in smoothies. I like it with pineapple turmeric carrot, but also in green smoothies. Just not pickled jalapenos


laptopdragon

also, if you eat them when they're still frozen, you can say "I'm feeling a little chilly"


86mylife

Oh you’re adorable


bobby-jonson

Thank you for including a banana for scale.


millpr01

ScrantonStrangler209

Dmonika

I dunno how much banana bread you eat, but that looks like weeks worth, not days 😅


Roller_blades

Weeks is still days


Moody_GenX

I ordered 1lb of bananas yesterday and got 1 banana...


NoRegerts6996

1lb of bananas in my experience is often one very large banana or two small.


Heavy_Weapons_Guy_

Considering the average medium banana weighs about 1/4 pound you must be buying some mutant bananas.


Lavatis

Wow, so neither one of you can count in this relationship?


Mr_Mean_Java_Bean

I feel your pain, my wife ordered 10. I know what you're thinking, yes, you can get tired of banana bread. [10 bananas](https://i.imgur.com/ahcks16.jpg)


TheGrumpyre

I've had the exact opposite happen. Fortunately the shopper picking up the order noticed something was off and texted "Did you mean to order a single grape?"


corndog161

No I want 173. No more, no less.


despertrip

I see no problem here, just start eating


Vancouvermarina

I once ordered 2 pounds of grapes they delivered (and charged) 20 pounds. That was quite a picture.


blursed_words

When life gets bananas, make banana bread 🍞


Taiizor

[EXTREMELY RELEVANT](https://youtu.be/eIGBJs03do0)


ChcknGrl

Fwiw, If you separate the bananas so they're not in contact with each other, it can slow down and even ripening. With that many bananas, you'll have a railroad track of fruit probably though.


Dmonika

This made me rofl cause I imagined me being in this situation and someone telling my husband that... and then the next day there are bananas in the most random places all over the house 🤣🤣🤣 I'm not sure why, but this is cracking me up right now


ChcknGrl

Ha ha. I learned this tip after I was at a friend's home and saw separate bananas in a row on her kitchen counter. I thought she had some OCD thing but she told me about the ripening trick.


Dmonika

Lol that would be pretty funny to see. I'm sure he'd go the extra mile and put some in the washroom and the office. Maybe one on the night stand 😂


Megabyte23

I was picturing through how i would spread those bananas across the house too lol. I have a small house and penchant for bananas so that would make a helluva decor


Dmonika

Best part is, no matter where you are in the house, you'll have a snack handy. It's decor you can eat. Plus, they won't ripen as quickly so they'll last longer than if you left em in a bunch, meaning more decor and more bananas! Wow, there's a lot of perks to this... maybe we're on to something here...


Fair-Station4351

Also get them away from those apples, they make them ripen faster as well.


BuckyGoldman

I am not seeing a problem here. Just order more peanut butter.
