        Fun fact: At least here in Germany, supermarkets almost lose money on bananas. They can’t raise the prices because the price of bananas is so ingrained into people’s minds that an increase would implicitly signal “expensive store” even if all the other prices stayed the same.

      They’re like $0.35 at the grocery store here. They’re even cheaper in more affordable areas.

          When someone says “under $2”, I’m thinking like $1.89, not $0.35. Although you’re right, and it’s technically correct.
