Review on Amazon: A banana for scale should be to scale https://a.co/d/aAZPaX4
Alt text
1 star review by user “Tall Guys Wife” on Amazon of a rubber banana that has the words [for scale] on it.
Picture attached shows rubber banana is smaller than real banana.
Review text reads: “purchased this 'banana for scale, but it’s way smaller than an average banana. People on social media demand if you’re showing something that you use an average banana for scale. I would never deceive anyone with this ridiculous substitute for an accurate measuring tool.”
We need to standardize banana.
I agree. I say seven inches.
How tall are you? 6 and a half bananas
this is how the imperial system was invented
Ja! Let’s create a DIN norm!
DIN-B4N4N4
We need, Standard Fruit
We can make it exactly 3.5 Thumb lengths.
Americans well use anything but the metric system, lol.
I’m surprised more things aren’t measured in football pitches
We talking real football or the one where you use your feet?
Actually that banana’s kinda big
Maybe it is a regional thing? I’m from the US and that is pretty much the size of every banana at my grocery store.
To clarify, by regional I mean that the US disproportionately buys / sells a variety of bananas that is just bigger. Though I’ll admit I have not taken the time to google this so 🤷
Its the same for bananas in Romania, but i know that at least in Egypt the bananas are closer in size to the fake banana
You’re thinking too hard, i was just making a penis joke lmao
Agreed. Another review has a picture holding it and it looks like typical banana size. That banana is just a banana of unusual size.
Bananas in the US are pretty large though.
SLPT: use a banana flavored Runtz candy piece to make your schlong look fucking enormous.
Wow he would burst my chest cavity! 🤤
I feel like a.BIC pen is much better for scale
But there’s a flaw. You’ve already lost it.
Maybe a different fairly popular but far less likely to be lost pen. How about Lamy Safari (Vista and Al-Star can be used too - same dimensions).
There be no blasphemy or deception like using a plastic banana rather than whatever random banana they have at your local store.
This one is marketed towards men
IT LOOKS LIKE AN AVERAGE SIZED BANANA TO ME. TOO BIG EVEN MAYBE
Its average sized
In Asia, maybe.
I’m tired of how big bananas are now. Small bananas ftw
I have a totally different kind of banana you could use for scale. wink wink
Ahhh, a plantain?
This is only useful if we are measuring small insects or microbes. nudge nudge
Now, now, don’t be so self deprecating. Some people are into ‘small and adorable’. giggle giggle
All love, my man.
Tbf, I’d also be kinda pissed if I bought a meme banana and it wasn’t the size of a real banana. You had one job…
back in my day, we’d measure things with a REAL banana
There’s still hope we might get it back someday!
Thank you for the hope. You can still buy the gros michel, but it’s breathtakingly expensive. I’d love to finally try one.
Well then just buy one banana. How much could it cost, $10?
You can only buy them by the crate and their hundreds of dollars and you can pretty much be guaranteed that half of them will spoil during shipment. I may actually go in with a number of other people and purchase an entire crate of them but I’m not really sure I could find enough people that will be willing to pay or split the cost, especially with the knowledge that a bunch of them are probably going to spoil along the way.
Edit: It’s $36 for one banana with shipping costs.
$127 for a small box. I don’t have that kind of banana money
