Joe Biden Innovations #67
Pre-peeled bananas
In what has to be the worst case of wasteful packaging in the history of modern convenience, a grocery store in Austria is actually selling pre-peeled bananas that have then been re-packaged in cellophane-covered foam trays.One of the reasons bananas have been billed as the world’s most perfect food is that they come with their own biodegradable packaging straight off the tree. And it’s not like you need a knife or some wacky kitchen contraption to peel them—the skin practically falls off on its own. Not surprisingly most customers are up in arms over the ridiculous repackaging stunt, except for the chain’s animated clientele who are optimistic the banished peels will dramatically reduce the risk of countless cartoon slip-ups.

I think there is a much bigger market than just slow joe, most obuma voters are dumb enoough to shell out more food stamps so that they have to do even less.

Wow.. There are no words. Can you imagine that there are people employed right now who’s job it is to prepare these “products”?
And who the hell is going to actually spend money on these? Oh wait NVM Liberals would.. Oh you just KNOW whoever DID come up with this insane concept is a flaming liberal! There’s no doubt in my mind about that. LOL
‘Biden Innovation’ is a perfect title for it too. Now that man is a perfect example of a liberal mind after simmering for about 60 years too long & I so look forward to seeing Paul Ryan destroy him next week. It will be glorious & no doubt give us enough hysterical material to last a lifetime.
Oh the joy of debate season this year is unlike any we’ve ever seen.
Thanks for these headlines. I know I’d never see them otherwise & they’re just too darn good! I share them with my kin on an almost daily basis.
