Bananas are dying. The fruit that was selected into existence by man is being selected out of existence by nature. See here, here and here. This article is even claming no more bananas by 2013!
No more banana bread, no more banana chocolate chip cookies post-ski/snowboard (my fav) no more banana cereal, no more bananas!
Unfortunately the demise of the banana does not mean the demise of banana republics in general, or Banana Republic specifically. And Banana Republic (the store) has always puzzled me with its name choice. It's like naming a store Shoddy Dictatorship or Communist Regime. And speaking of banana republics, if there are no bananas being grown in countries with governments propped up by fruit conglomerates, will there be a change in labelling? Will they become pineapple republics? Mango republics? Avocado republics?
In the meantime, I suggest enjoying as much banana-y goodness as possible. Don't forget to purchase your handy banana case. It prevents your banana from becoming bruised when you bring it into work for lunch.
