Review on Amazon: A banana for scale should be to scale https://a.co/d/aAZPaX4

Alt text

1 star review by user “Tall Guys Wife” on Amazon of a rubber banana that has the words [for scale] on it.
Picture attached shows rubber banana is smaller than real banana.

Review text reads: “purchased this 'banana for scale, but it’s way smaller than an average banana. People on social media demand if you’re showing something that you use an average banana for scale. I would never deceive anyone with this ridiculous substitute for an accurate measuring tool.”

    Tbf, I’d also be kinda pissed if I bought a meme banana and it wasn’t the size of a real banana. You had one job…

            Ok.

            It still registers as not nice according to my reading of the general population’s sentiments, but regardless of this the Lemmy audience seems to approve approximately 2:1.

              Thank you for sharing your feelings with me. Even though I’m surprised that you seek my validation and approval, I’m always here to listen if you need to talk.

      Maybe it is a regional thing? I’m from the US and that is pretty much the size of every banana at my grocery store.

      To clarify, by regional I mean that the US disproportionately buys / sells a variety of bananas that is just bigger. Though I’ll admit I have not taken the time to google this so 🤷

      Agreed. Another review has a picture holding it and it looks like typical banana size. That banana is just a banana of unusual size.

    There be no blasphemy or deception like using a plastic banana rather than whatever random banana they have at your local store.
