This absolutely blew my mind. There are so many things i personally think is wrong with this. First of all, in the time of "going green" why would you add packaging to something that has NEVER been packaged before? Anyone can buy a single banana at a gas station or super market so what need is Del Monte trying to fulfill by packaging it. The only thing i can think of is making a larger profit because people would think that the package was cool or pretty or something stupid like that.
Second, when i think of something being individually packaged i think of an item that is meant to be taken on the go. A banana is not meant for the inside of someones backpack, purse, or brief case. They bruise way to easy and then after they get all nasty from the bruises most people don't want to eat them and just end up throwing them away.
Disclaimer: these are only my first thought upon seeing this product aka i haven't done any research maybe there is some use to this packaging but i can't think of a reason at this moment
This is madness!
