      This is the way. Cut the second to last banana below the stem. Works perfectly.

      What’s this “nature’s way” crap, when the bananas are hanging upside down?

          Are you implying they are supernatural?

              Where on the scale is that? Is it higher or lower than supernatural?

              A banana for scale would be helpful.

                It is higher than the banana, relative to the direction they’re oriented. Determining which orientation is correct is left as an exercise to the reader.

    The arm of our stand is wide so I can rest one banana on top.

    Mine in for potassium-40. Radioactive products sell for more than one banana, which as others have noted cost $10 but if you can purify the radioactive elements, you can probably get $11 or even $12.

      Plus, the YouTube revenue. Imagine me and Nile Red turning a banana into something where we get a visit from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. They’d pay upwards of $14.50.

        I worked at a Walmart for a bit and one day they had me change the price tags on the bananas and I immediately had to ask and make sure the tags were correct because they went from like $0.70 per pound, to $1.68 per banana.

        Until they went back to a per pound price, banana sales basically stopped at the store.

    You can cut the second to last banana a little lower, and leave the top of the stim attached to keep it hanging

      Wait you cut them all? You don’t just tear the bananas apart from each other?

      Cutting, a stand, all feels like an overcomplication of a simple fruit

      Until I read your answer, I was picturing a kiosk selling frozen bananas with a countertop (a diner would be a countertop restaurant, in this naming convention). My only excuse is that I just woke up

    There’s always money in the banana stand. Use the last banana for a free smoothie for your employee, or throw the rotton thing out and order more for tomorrow.
