It was a moment so serendipitous that it seemed out of fiction – Jumanji perhaps. I was busy procrastinating this morning when I noticed that “Banana Spiders” was trending #1 on yahoo. I thought “hmm – I’m hungry, I’d like a banana”.
My wife wakes and leaves early and we have gotten into the habit of sharing a banana in the morning. She cuts, or breaks off half and leaves the other half for me. I know – it’s a little odd – but true.
I wandered into the kitchen to help myself to said banana half, and that’s when I noticed the odd cocoons on my banana!
Luckily they don’t look like the deadly Brazilian Banana Spider, but still it’s gross.
I am not eating that banana (if you are wondering I ate a piece of cheese instead).
Then I put the banana in a clear plastic bag – let’s see what hatches!
WTF banana’s from Fairway’s Market?!
Boycotting you forever!
Okay I just emailed Fairway at 125th st the following message – let’s see if they reply:
“Dear Bonnie Langer,
Last week we bought bananas – among other things at Fairway on 125th st. The next day we noticed these weird growths on them.
It was very disturbing – especially for my wife.
(I meant to let you know sooner – but got overwhelmed by work)
best,

I do not even know how I ended up here, but I thought
this post was good. I don’t know who you are but certainly you’re going to a famous blogger if you aren’t already 😉 Cheers!
Thanks for the kind words Andra.
Hope you keep reading and enjoying.
best,

What ever became of this?! I found one on my bananas today I’m in Mt and I’m really panicking!
