    Is David M. McIntosh a typical customer of the government run grocery stores? Is it normal for wealthy people to travel from another state to shop there?

    Tell us that this McIntosh never saw a grocery shop from the inside without saying this literally.

    David M McIntosh: yessssss when my personal shopper drives directly to the market to get food, then delivers them to my butler, who hands them off to my complement of personal chefs. I assure you therey’re nothing but the finest shade of yellow.

    Ironically, there’s a phrase for someone who’s so old and out of touch that they might as well be on death’s doorstep:

    “Don’t buy green bananas.”

    (In the South it’s often used in a self deprecating way: “let’s just say I don’t buy green bananas.”)

      Ain’t no one got time for that shit.

      I’m starting in on the first banana on the way home from the store. Gotta be quick with those fuckers. Otherwise it’s a day later and you’re like “welp, gotta make bread I guess.” Eyes tearing up. It’s like a funeral for those little bitches.

      You’re tempted to switch these with a fresh one from the store if you have any kids in the house, like you did when the goldfish died. I can’t tell a kid the banana went to go live on a farm upstate.

    I mean these are kinda excessively green. They really shouldn’t be harvested this early but then again transporting them across the world to NYC requires a very early harvest to avoid spoilage.

    Once you taste a banana that was harvested when it was ripe you’ll never want another supermarket banana again.

      Unfortunately I live almost 3000 miles away from where bananas grow so I’m not having a “harvested ripe” banana any time soon.

    Its just because he’s part of big apple has nothing to do with the politician or bananas. He’s just trying to divert people from eating non apple fruits.

    It’s true, I don’t want to eat green bananas, but I also don’t want to eat brown bananas.

    They say suspiciously green banana in the same way they say Barack Hussein Obama.

    I really hope there is a limit to how much Fox New’s daily message of “suspect and hate anything that looks like progress”

    Hopefully the concrete benefits of cheaper groceries will sway people.
