Love it!

Gotta point out that, though, that most primates don't eat a lot of bananas. The species that really seems to love bananas is homo sapiens. I worked at a grocery store for several years, and saw the sales numbers. Bananas are the biggest seller, and it's not even close. They outsell whole categories of other products.

Yeah, it's crazy you never see bonobos at the grocery store!

Might depend on geography.

As a banana-hater, I have never felt closer to my fellow great apes.

That's a strange question... I guess I accomplish hating bananas by either putting them in my mouth and spitting them out because I hate the taste or passing by some and scrunching up my nose because I hate the smell.

It's the only cheap fruit that I can use to make cake if it ripens too much.

Fun fact: In 1989 the people of Eastern Germany (also known as GDR or DDR) started a revolution because the communist government was unable to provide them with sufficient amounts of bananas.
