Going bananas

Watching t.v. last night when a new ad for Dunnes Stores came on. They're offering 25% off on loose bananas this week!

Is this what some adman and Dunnes Stores believe will bring in the customers? They've gotta be kidding.

In some ways it was almost heart-warming. The ad sort of reminded me of the Ireland of the 1950s, when (maybe) shoppers would have rushed in for such major savings on loose bananas.

{If anyone can enlighten me as to what a "loose" banana is and how it differs from your general run-of-the-mill banana, I would be grateful.}
