Well, if you have Chiquita brand banana bread mix, you'd think they'd have Chiquita bananas, not Dole.

You go to war with the bananas you have.....

(Apologies to Don Rumsfeld)

Isn't it obvious?

The bananas offered aren't the variety locally grown in Fondren.

Spelling cream "creme" which is located right above the Banana Bread Mix? (Unless of course that was banana creme brulee).

The bananas are fake.

The banana nut bread is in the pre-preparatory phase and not in the consumption phase?

I thought you weren't supposed to bag bananas....could be wrong....

Those are the Best of Jackson 2012 Banana and Nut winners.

If you have the banana bread mix, why do you need the almonds and pistachios? Do you use pistachios in banana bread?

What's wrong is that you didn't even use a question mark... ಠ_ಠ

those aren't bananas, they are plantains?

They are bananas.

One commentor is on the right track.

bananas nuts and cream all in one pic . . . kinda gross

You'd be "nuts" to put pistachios in banana nut bread.

no nilla wafers ?? (:

Improperly posted banana handling permit.

Metta World Peace likes banana puddin

Banana creme should be refrigerated?

One of the bananas is a pedophile. (left, center)

pistachios and bananas dont make any recipe... you need walnuts

Why would you have the flavored mix next to the real thing?

The lighting, the angle and the subject are ALL wrong. A trained eye, taking the same photo, yields this result:

What are mini bananas anyway?

Who, other than you and your warped mind, think that something is wrong with this picture?

There's no food pyramid label with Mooch-elle's picture.

Besides, who the hell goes around inside McDade's supermarket snapping photos. What a goob!

I hope the overripe bagged bananas are marked down!

mmmmm...I don't buy fruit or veggies a McDade's anyhoo...theirs is always out of date or ugly!!!! can't wait for Whole Food's!!!!
The one in New orleans is the best..

Bananas were not properly quarantined; evidenced by color and shrinkage.

Clue: check the bags.

Real Banana Bread doesn't come in a box. What else can you do with the overripe ones if you already have the bread in a box?


Looks like Chiquita Bananas in a Dole Bag.

What kind of fruits are on this hat? What do you put them on?

Funny fruit on a hat picture

Is there mold growing inside the bag of mini bananas or could it be live fruit flies?
BTW, this has been a most amusing thread.

They are Mini bananas?

Jerry Lane is marking everything down again. Including the bananas. Half off lowest ticketed price. A dozen bananas from McDades with each purchase. Nineteen times this friggin' store has flooded in two years. You get another ten percent off if you correctly guess who is shorter ~ St.Pe or Gallo.

Small print on bags says "10% of gross receipts go to the Pearl River Valley Water Supply District".

Here is the deal. Bananas ripen. News to everyone I'm sure. If you have a really green banana and want to speed up the ripening process, you put it in a bag or container and close it. Thats why at grocery stores you will often see the tops of boxes of bananas removed- so they won't ripen too quick and force the store to throw them away.

What is funny here is the produce guy is putting the bananas in plastic bags, sealing them, and destroying his own merchandise.

Dole ships the mini-bananas pre-packaged when they are green.

And now this blog is lame.

Me? I would've just walked right by them and not given a crap.

Maybe the hidden message in "plastic-bag-gate" is that KF has too much time on his hands.



(chill out. was a joke.)

OCD much?

Liberals tend not to get regular dental care, thus they prefer the over ripe bananas.

There's always money in the banana stand...

you don't make banana nut bread with the pretty bright yellow bananas. you wait until they turn brown. those are probably old bananas that are good for nothing except banana nut bread. If you were a produce manager, you wouldn't put ugly ass brown bananas out for display next to the pretty yellow ones.

I did hear that the produce manager at McDade's is coming out with his own blog though. I'm sure no one will read it.

Bananas? Really? I'd much rather discuss Claiborne Frazier ditching his truck and girlfriend on I-10 yesterday and runnin into the woods to evade the police...now there's something to talk about!

Since we veered off-topic to McDade's - anyone know how they will react to a Whole Foods going up across the street in Highland Village? I wonder how much business from Jackson Fresh market in Ridgeland will lose once it opens.

even I go to Whole Foods here in ATL, as cheap as I am!....it's cool and the samples are great :). Highland Village is the perfect Place fora store like this. As far as McDades, I think it should only help. Whole Foods is expensive and McDade's will be it's counter. Fresh Market is even more expensive and also limited. Congrats to my home town.

I worked in grocery stores in high school and college, including a couple of years in produce. I just notice little things like that when I go in a store. No holes in bags. they were real ripe last night. ;-)

I'm in McDades almost every day and will continue to do so after Whole Foods opens. (I even like their famous bananas).

However, I am intrigued about the great cheese selections these Whole Foods stores are supposed to have. Any cheese experts reading this know anything about their cheeses?
