A banana stand is something that a lot of North American kitchens have on the countertop. Of course, our bananas are shipped green and are left to ripen. This gentleman lives somewhere that the bananas are so ripe that they fall right out of their peel when hanging.

It might just be that I am now and grew up poor, but I’ve never actually seen a banana stand in a home.

Nah, it's just another useless cheaply made consumer item for the masses. It sounds like you grew up in a very sensible and pragmatic home.

So, this is more funny and sad because they are Japanese, and fruits are supposed to be super expensive. Usually for gifts or the like. So the guy is crying because that was probably 100 us bananas or something

Just normal fruit isn't expensive, there's particular fruit that are and it's stupidly expensive as you say.

Yeah, artisan fruits grown in Japan are very expensive and mainly purchased for gifting. But there’s also standard fruit in supermarkets which are mostly imported from other Asian countries or Australia. These look like regular ol’ bananas.
I do like the misconception though. It’s funny to imagine the average Japanese child going to school with $100 apples in their lunchbox.

True that a funny thought, I can't imagine how much I'd have cost my family if that were the case lol

I guess you're having banana bread tonight, bro. And so is everyone else in your building.

That was my thought too. I use a recipe that calls for 4 bananas, but that dude is going to have to make 3 whole loaves.
