My mom ordered 6 bananas. This is what she received.
Looks like there will be banana bread in our future.
Discussion
If she didnāt pay for them whatās the problem?
Just make some loaf for breadfast with the extra
Youāre going bananas in here
š āØĀ
Bananas are usually sold by weight so they for sure weighed this and she paid for them, lol.
Usually where? Not in the grocery shops I by my bananas from
I bought 4 bananas yesterday at Wal-Mart in Shakopee, Minnesota and they were .54 cents a lb. I had to weigh them on the check out register scale and get their weight before I was given a price.
I mean, to be fair, I just came back from Costco in the USA, where they were being sold by the bundle at a firm price. Counting....9 a bundle? Might've miscounted. $1.99 per. Very good deal.
But if I went to walmart for it, it'd be something closer to $5 after buying it by the pound
Totally fair - I'm not saying at all that they aren't sold by the bunches either. I've seen it with organic ones alot. I really only chimed in because I had just had to weigh my bananas at Walmart the day before š¤£
Interesting. In my country I have always only seen them sold by pieces
Canada we pay by weight, thats why i remove the skin before paying /s
What I do when I buy something by weight is lift it up a bit so it weights less
You just admitted to theft...
I just paid 0.33ā¬/kgĀ in Copenhagen so I dunno at least it seems pretty universal. Bought them by weight in 6 continentsĀ
You paid with euros in Copenhagen?
In the US they are sold by weight the majority of the time. For better or worseā¦
Weāre gonna need to see these next to a banana for scale
This happened to me once during covid. I meant to order eight onions and in return got eight bags of onions. Some say, you can still smell my breath
French Onion Soup! š
If I knew you IRL, I would for sure take some of those off your hands. Been craving bananas, and they had to appear at your house, lol.
If you forge out strongly, you can find additional banana locations possibly even locally.
I bought some the other day, but they're still too green for me. They should be good by tomorrow. I swear I'm having, like, 3 of them for breakfast.
If you need to ripen bananas faster than time will allow, you can place them in your oven at the lowest temperature setting for a few minutes....but you have to watch them closely if you're just going to eat the banana. To ripen them to bake bread, you can let them get really brown.
If you have a place near you I recommend trying other types of bananas than Cavendish. Blue Java is amazing, they're soft and taste similar to vanilla cream. I have no organic stores or fruit vendors so I had to order some online but it was well worth it
Thus emphasizing the criticality of knowing the Unit of Measure (UOM) for an item.
Can always freeze them to use in smoothies!
Bananas bread and Crepes with chocolate and banana.
Also: Cut them in pieces, Put them into the frypan with sogar and Butter, add high Proof alcohol and then fire.Ā
Tastes super on Vanilla ice
Oooh I'll definitely be doing that!
Mmmmmm frozen banana slices with chocolate on them. SUPER easy to make.
I agree. Most people think of bunches, not 6 individual bananas
Idk, if i gave someone my money, and told them to go buy "6 bananas" i would not expect them to come back with ~40 bananas.
Yeah I guess but still
Also counting bananas by bunches is weird, because one bunch can have 4 bananas, the one next to it can have 8. It'd be very inconsistent.
Bananas. The one food item whose price hardly ever moves.
lol I love it though
There are definitely six bananas.
At least 6.
I counted 6 banana bunch. So someone did something right somewhere.
I ordered 3 avocado's, got 17. That was a yummy week.
I view this as a win.
You add a note, 1 bunch of 5 or 6 would be perfect.
You could also make smoothies or mash them and add oats and yoghurt for a tasty breakfast
My step mom did this exact thing a couple days ago lol. They come in bunches
Aside from bread, you could also freeze them and make smoothies. Peel them and cut them in half or quarters first, but they'll keep like that for quite a while.
This looks like the opposite of a problem unless youāre allergic to bananas or walk past carrying a Geiger counter.
Happened to my mum a few days ago. Ordered 3 bananas, ended up getting 3 packs. Thank goodness she decided to buy 3 instead of 5 bananas. She made 3 loaves of banana bread, leaving a few bananas. They were so delicious and have all been devoured!
This happened to me once with apples. Thought I ordered 5 applesā¦ I ordered 5 BAGS of apples. The delivery guy brought a crate into my house of apples. I made pie!
There is at least 6 banan, mission accomplished
Exactly
Peel them and freeze them. They are a great snack and that way they wonāt go bad.
TIME TO MAKE š š!
Cut the ripe bananas in chunks and store it in the freezer. Theyāll be good for smoothies and banana bread.
Jesus, just make bananade.
She got 6 bunches.
Also, why is banana bread in your future? This is a pretty standard amount of bananas in my home. Four people who enjoy them.
She got 7 bananas
I would eat so many my poop would taste like a banana split.Ā
I am fucking aghast.
Mm.. banana breadā¤ļø
MildlyInfuriatied... with Mom.
I did that once with ramen noodles
Must have used Instacart.
your bananas:
6lbs Iām assuming?
As someone who used to insta cart and spark, she ordered that. If the order comes through and says 6 bunches, we have to scan and shop for 6 bunches. You cannot just scan one bunch. It's all or nothing. Theres usually 2 very similar, but different, options when ordering through an app, one of which is ordering a bunch, the other is ordering a singular banana. They usually use the same picture, making it easy to mess up.
So many Cavendish and gross Michel
Thatās what I scroll on Reddit in know time gotta pump up those numbers
Happened to me once with carrots. I wanted 4 and got 4lbsš¤¦š»āāļø
Hey bro, i found your momās large banana stash.
Band name alert!!! Mom's Large Banana Stash
Kroger just changed their policy. When you order bananas now,they are by bunches of 5-6 per.
A bunch of stores changed it to bunches.
I agree. Look like they gave 7 instead of 6.
LMFAO
I mean, you do have at least 6 bananas
Reminds me of this order i did at work were I ordered 100 buns. Turns out I ordered 100 packs of buns. Oh man the freezers were packed to the brim
Mmm banana bread
Hello, just eat a banana a day. or three.
Back away, Banana Breath! What the hell did you just eat, a banana?
A lot of places confuse single banana with one banana bunch - really stinks for the customer!
Did the app not state the unit of issue?
She ordered 6 individual bananas. She usually places the same order every so often so she literally just hit reorder and got all the same stuff as before. This has never happened to her.
Seems like she added 6 bunches and not 6 individuals
I accidentally did something similar where my dad told me to get āa bunch of bananasā but I forgot that a bunch is what you call a single one of those bundles so I ended up getting 3 lmao.
Potassium Power!!!!!!!
That's definitely at least 6
Don't forget banana pancakes!
The opposite happened to me the first time I ordered groceries and I received (1) singular banana
Banana muffins are also fantastic
That happened to me in instacart. The customer service lady laughed when I told her. I froze them and made banana bread!
Banana for scale?
I'd be happy with that, banana smoothies for days
Needs a scale for bananas
Damn that looks looks like my banana collection, except it was absolutely intentional. Gotta keep my potassium up in this damn desert.
This has happened to so many people with online grocery ordering, including myself. I wasnāt mad, I just laughed and gave them away. At least bananas are cheap.
Happened to me once and then I ended up just asking on one of the free pages in the town. I lived in at the time if anyone wanted bananas and then ended up driving around and giving bananas to people.
Ha! I ordered 1 bunch and paid for 1 bunch but only received one banana.
UPDATE: My mom gave 2 bunches away to neighbors. We plan to make banana bread & pudding with the rest.
Your mom ordered 6lbs of bananas by mistake.
Better of eaten em all as well
You got 6 bunches because Kroger won't do anything smaller than a bunch.
Was it Walmart? Our interface is a little confusing. For some reason a quantity of six means six bananas on the standard bananas, but for organic it means six bunches. Employee might have gotten mixed up.
Wherever it was, I'd call and complain. They can't keep making people pay extra for shit they didn't ask for.Ā
Tra la la, la la la la. Tra la la, la la la la. Tra la la, la la la la. Tra la la, la la la la.
One banana, two banana, three banana, four. Four bananas make a bunch and so do many more. Over hill and highway the banana buggies go Comin' on to bring you The Banana Splits Show.
Makin up a mess of fun Makin up a mess of fun Lot's of fun for everyone.
Tra la la, la la la la. Tra la la, la la la la. Tra la la, la la la la. Tra la la, la la la la.
Four banana, three banana, two banana, one. All bananas playing in the bright warm sun. Flippin like a pancake, poppin like a cork Fleagle, Bingo, Drooper and Snork.
Tra la la, la la la la. Tra la la, la la la la. Tra la la, la la la la. Tra la la, la la la la.

My grocery orders are sometimes like this. Just make banana bread.
You ask for 6 bananas, I am bringing you that.
What about this is infuriating? Were you charged for six bunches? Surely thatās easily resolved and then you have a plethora of bananas. Freeze them for smoothies, let them ripen for bread. This is the opposite of infuriating.Ā
This is how they're raising young people nowadays. No common sense.
Lol
To be fair, bananas are generally bought in bunches
It's one banana, Michael. What could it cost, $10?
THERES ALWAYS MONEY IN THE BANANA STAND
No touching!
Don't be ridiculous. They're not even frozen.
Any time I've ever ordered bananas online (and I've done it A LOT), you buy them by the banana.
I do Shipy as a shopper and any untagged fruit or vegetable, 1 equals 1 piece, not one bunch.
Thank you! lol. She orders the same groceries most of the time, so she just hits reorder. This has never happened before.
So she only paid for 6 and got about 24 extra for free? š¤
Fresh produce is adjusted by weight during the final checkout
Thereās always money in the banana stand!
Does she order from Kroger? Because they just changed it from by the banana to by the bunch.
Honestly, it can vary I do home shopping and at our store, regular bananas are by the banana and the organic are by the bunch. Those who don't read the fine print are often surprised by what they get.
Target sells them single, because they don't have a scale at the checkout.
That is not always true. I had the same thing happen to me as OPs mom and ended up with 5 bunches. I only ordered 5 because last time when I ordered 1 I got sent a single banana. Now I just make sure to double check the price.
Not where I live
Was just about to mention this. Especially because it seems like it happens a lot where someone says "I ordered X bananas and got Y bunches instead!" Like. Yeah. Most places don't have bananas priced individually, unless it's like a gas station maybe? They have a per pound price and are sold as bunches. If you want a specific number of bananas, go yourself, don't expect the person fulfilling your order to start cracking bunches to achieve a specific number of bananas.
