This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

I normally find there are plenty of green and yellow bananas. Grab a few of each and just eat them in slightly non-optimal ripeness. I don't think you can really gauge a bananas ripeness down to the day anyway.
Yeah, this is true. I feel like those would all ripen at about the same time. You can guess pretty well, but they often seem to ripen together.
Also, they didn't wrap the stem. Those will ripen quickly, now.
I wonder if they might actually be combining them from different deliveries. IE, they grab an average ripeness one from the Monday delivery, an average ripeness one from the Tuesday delivery etc and by the time the last delivery is added the first one is about ready to eat.
