      Back when I was first shocked that EU Commissars get to decide the curvature of bananas,
      I did some Googling and discovered that it was actually a trade barrier. EU was/is protectionist
      about importing from former European colonies. Probably because the bananas there are still
      controlled by EU companies and not by US companies like they are in the American sphere.
      Anyway, I think that protectionism (high tariffs or quotas) can probably explain the difference
      in price.

      I think that I read somewhere that price of bananas went up in Eastern European countries
      when they joined EU.

            One time, I was in this public bathroom stall and there was a waist level hole on the side with writing below that said "free banana dispensary." Needless to say, it was not a banana.

              I'll pay them as much as they want.

                I made a point of checking while at the store.

                $0.67 here.

                    That's why I miss Cort Haus.
                    He posed questions that matter.

                    I don't know how much they cost, because I never notice. so they must be low.

                    I remember the EU embargo on bananas when I was a small kid.

                    The only ones we had was cretan ones and they were small and wrinkly

                      Bananas are now A$2.49 per kilogram at my local supermarket.

                      The price has gone down.
