  This was a reference to some politician (I don't recall which) not knowing the price of a single banana.

    No. This is a reference to the show "Arrested Development" Link to the scene: https://youtu.be/Nl_Qyk9DSUw https://youtu.be/Nl_Qyk9DSUw

      Love that scene. Can't seem to find it - but some time ago there was a short vid on why the price of bananas world wide was a good litmus on the shipping/economic trade - it went into detail on how banana prices could be used to measure certain stress points in global trade... I cant seem to find it though. However, in looking for it I found this, which is kind of interesting: >>"Are there more international laws on the trade of bananas than conventional weapons, like AK-47s?" >>"The short answer is astonishingly, yes. The global trade in bananas or banana plants is governed by at least three binding global agreements and the non-binding, though strictly adhered to, Codex food code. The arms trade is not governed by any binding global agreements." - https://politicsofpoverty.oxfamamerica.org/comparing-bananas-to-the-global-arms-trade/ https://politicsofpoverty.oxfamamerica.org/comparing-bananas...

    You're confusing the Arrested Development scene with this video probably: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5RiYxGahps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5RiYxGahps of Boris Johnson claiming to eat Gregg's all the time, but not knowing the price (which I could excuse him for; I have Gregg's now & then & I can only remember the price as being "maybe a little over 1£".
