    Bananas come in shrink wrap

    The one thing the US is not guilty of. They do this in Asia all the time but the most I’ve ever seen with bananas is the organic ones have a small bit of cellophane wrapped around the stem only.

    Peppers come cellophaned to styrofoam planks

    Definitely seen this one. Though mostly with squash and similar, the excuse being oh it prevents bruising and blah, blah, blah. Ridiculous.

      You know, that bruise-resistant plastic wrap. I don’t know how most people shop, but I’m just as good at getting peppers not to bruise as I am at getting eggs not to break.
