I hate to be the smarty pants here, but the natural banana does in fact have a nut in it – humans have managed to produce bananas without a nut in them purely because they’re easier to eat that way! ‘Nutless’ and ‘Boneless’ could quite easily have been a simple translation fail on an uncessary adjective.
I’m saying it could be a confusion between nut/bone lost in translation somewhere.
For instance, someone who is both a bit dim and fairly unfamiliar with the English language who works for this store in the US looks at the packing note in with the bananas and it’s his/her job to label the product up according to what the label in/on the box of bananas says is in the box. They see ‘nutless bananas’ written in some language (ie, the language of the country of origin on the bananas) which was in turn written by someone else a bit dim who didn’t use common sense and realise that calling them ‘nutless’ is a bit redundant seeing as though everyone else in the Milky Way assumes that bananas for human consumption will not have a nut in them as standard. Back to the US, and the dim guy tries and fails to correctly translate the words from language X into English, and comes out with ‘boneless bananas’.
OR, it’s just a massive typo that nobody bothered to correct.
And why would the employees of Piggly Wiggly, a store that exists only in the US, be this unfamiliar with English? Yes, they could have a foreigner working in the produce department, but I’m pretty sure someone would have caught this if it were unintentional.
I don’t see the fail here, since obviously, “That’s a joke… I say, that’s a joke, son.”
Maybe because it is a lame joke? perhaps, but I’ve seen much worse so “clasisc: fail” may be overstating it.
repost?
didn’t you see the title “CLASSIC: “?
derp
very nice.
fist
Would you kindly stop fisting us please? It’s making my eyes water, and difficult enough to remove the bones from my bananas!
And here I am wasting my time deboning the banana’s i eat like a chump, when i could be getting these…
The pig must be getting rich with this miraculous new banana. But the best thing is it’s bought in volume and sold in savings.
I prefer bananas with bones
boneless banana’s thats an eye catcher im surprised theres any bananas left for the picture
Epig fail. lol
“Is that a boneless banana in your pocket, or are you just not all that excited to see me?”
69 cents for boneless bananas thats cheap for boneless lol
Start worrying when they sell bananas “bone in.”
Yeah, I was wondering what they looked like!
For 69 I expected bone-in.
Not a real 69 without a bone in!
Sounds kinda weird Boneless Bananas for 69 Hmmmmm
haha 69.
Well, I should hope so !
Well, bananas are actually a type of fish, as everyone knows.
What? No aquarium?

dear TX, stop getting your facts from the cereal box….. seriously? banana nuts?? you just went bananas!……….. or nutz? your choice hahaha
and if we do not make more fun outta you, would you promise never ever ever ever again post something this moronic?
Have looked it up on Wikipedia to ‘wtfpwn yo 4$$’ or whatever you kids say these days
“Although fruit of wild species have large, hard seeds, virtually all culinary bananas are “seedless”, have only tiny seeds”
“Seeded bananas (Musa balbisiana), the forerunner of the common domesticated banana,[18] are sold in markets in Indonesia.”
Who the hell said anything about nuts?

Not everyone in America speaks the Queen’s English you know!
bananas não tem carozo, tem filamento grosso xD
I must share this because the sign reminded me of this song =)
I Like Bananas (Because They Have No Bones)

Bone in Banana
It’s not a lie.
I kind of like my bananas with the bone in
Piggly Wiggle FTW!
*Wiggly, WIGGLY I SAY
Triple fail.
First fail: Boneless Bananas.
Second: 69 $/£ per Lb.
Third: 69 = Sex pose.
Thank you, that was the joke
So many sexual innuendos
Nope.
Just two. Repeated over and over and over and over and over….
Kind of like the “Things that are Doing It” entries.
You know: because this far into the comments sections, surely no one else has thought of this and posted it already….
Hey, I wonder if bone-in bananas are still cholesterol-free?
Even better, they contain omega 3
Hehe. . . 69
Can’t go wrong with 69, though I feel sorry for the people that buy them “boneless”.
You mean lesbians?

Bones? Do you mean “seedless bananas”? Some tropical species of bananas have seeds.
Man, i did not know there is a new species of banana that have bones
Lets call it “Bonenana”.
Nobody can accuse them of false advertising.
2 bananas for 69
As apposed to????
