That Banana Split is Going to Cost You Extra

December 18, 2006

Looks like everyone's favorite fruit-hat wearing lady is going to cost a little bit more. The Cincinati-based Chiquita company will be raising banana prices in North America by 4%. I guess this means our favorite banana recipes just got a little pricier.

Which banana recipe is going to end up costing you more?

i did some research last night and it doesn't look like this effects fair trade bananas (but i totally could be wrong). buy fair trade! support organic farmers! :)

I've heard the same thing, esk4. Because of the way scientists have engineered the new bananas, eventually they will no longer be able to naturally reproduce. It's quite sad, really.

That article was just about the Chiquita brand bananas (looks like their company needs to make more $). I haven't heard anything else otherwise, but will let you know if I do.
