~ Chiquita Banana Ad
Yep, you're seeing right: those are individually-wrapped bananas. Apparently these are now going to be sold for $1 each. The plastic bag is supposed to extend shelf life for another 6 days, which is how Del Monte is justifying the new offering - even going so far as to call it a green measure.
What do you think?
Personally, I think adding more packaging is just bananas.

I think this is bananas too! Throwing the plastic wrap away has to be worse for the environment than throwing away a rotten banana! Plus, $1 a banana seems outrageous too. Unless you are someone who struggles to pick bananas that won't go rotten before you eat them all on a constant basis, I can't see how this could be a good idea.
