Going bananas

I almost thought it was April Fools Day.  Del Monte planning to sell bananas in a plastic cover at many outlets.  I am not going to waste words on what a barmy idea, but will point out that this all adds to the waste that has to be disposed of by Councils trying desperately to cut costs.
Apparently they will sell for around 62 p (each!), as opposed to around 15p for a "normal" banana.  I doubt if they are Fairtrade - and just how much do we think the farmer will get out of that 62 p ???
I really would like to know.
