Yes, We Have No Bananas (Encore)

Yes, We Have No Bananas (Encore)

In the late 19th century, bananas, a fruit that had been popular for thousands of years, suddenly became a mass-market sensation. However, just a few decades after it was popularized, the industry had to completely change what was grown due to a pestilence. As a result, the bananas that most people eat today are very different than the bananas that everyone ate before the second world war.
