If it IS ‘shopped, then it’s done quite well as all of the compression is consistent throughout both the background image, foreground and the “shopped” area in question. In yellow and brown pixels it’s very easy to see the compression obviously caused by a JPG file format.
Also, I agree with John Sergent’s idea- I do that all the time “banananana…crap”.
There’s a fruit store on our street
It’s run by a Greek.
And he keeps good things to eat
But you should hear him speak!
When you ask him anything, he never answers “no”.
He just “yes”es you to death, and as he takes your dough
He tells you
“Yes, we have no bananas
We have-a no bananas today.
We’ve string beans, and onions
Cabbageses, and scallions,
And all sorts of fruit and say
We have an old fashioned to-mah-to
A Long Island po-tah-to
But yes, we have no bananas.
We have no bananas today.”
Business got so good for him that he wrote home today,
“Send me Pete and Nick and Jim; I need help right away.”
When he got them in the store, there was fun, you bet.
Someone asked for “sparrow grass” and then the whole quartet
All answered
“Yes, we have no bananas
We have-a no bananas today.
Just try those coconuts
Those walnuts and doughnuts
There ain’t many nuts like they.
We’ll sell you two kinds of red herring,
Dark brown, and ball-bearing.
But yes, we have no bananas
We have no bananas today.”
Yes, we are very sorry to inform you
That we are entirely out of the fruit in question
The afore-mentioned vegetable
Bearing the cognomen “Banana”.
We might induce you to accept a substitute less desirable,
But that is not the policy at this internationally famous green
grocery.
I should say not. No no no no no no no.
But may we suggest that you sample our five o’clock tea
Which we feel certain will tempt your pallet?
However we regret that after a diligent search
Of the premises
By our entire staff
We can positively affirm without fear of contradiction
That our raspberries are delicious; really delicious
Very delicious
But we have no bananas today.
Yes, we gotta no banana
No banana
We gotta no banana today.
I sella you no banana.
Hey, Marianna, you gotta no banana?
Why this man, he no believe-a what I say.
Now whatta you want mister?
You wanna buy twelve for a quarter?
No? well, just a oneofadozen?
I’m-a gonna calla my daughter.
Hey, Marianna
You gotta piana
Yes, banana, no
No, yes, no bananas today
We gotta no bananas.
Yes, we gotta no bananas today.
As for it being photoshopped…: Someone commented the compression is visible. I say, it doesn’t take much time and effort to modify a pic, and save it again so jpeg compression screws up the whole pic (with the altering in it too)
…Yes, those are definitely papayas. Now, I must say tha-IMA FIRIN MAI LAZOR BLAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think this is potentially from a time when there was discussion that the European Union was considering a maximum curve on bananas and that they were going to have to be straight otherwise could not legally be described as bananas. Where that bizarre rumour ever came from is anyone’s guess, but if it was snapped in the EU I’d guess it dates from that period where people were trying to make a point of protest against these sorts of silly rules.
Someone couldn’t stop spelling ‘banananana’ and got tired of wasting signs.
There’s only part of a picture here. What is the rest?
So how much for the curved green vegetable?
You saw no bananas here. No bananas. Move along.
Shopped.
I hear they are the evolutionist’s nightmare.
This looks like a shop. I can tell from the fact that there are products being sold.
Somebody’s planning to get out of shelf-stacking by taking a night-school course in creative writing.

The curved brown fruit are cheaper.
Vague? Unless they are referring to a slightly stooped, Asian homosexual, I think everyone gets the point.
A second possibility, Microsoft trademarked “banana” for their new OS and are sending cease and desist orders to grocery stores.
And you all thought the bananana thing was just a joke!
Content ripoff much?

they need a lesson from Gwen Stefani… its B-A-N-A-N-A-S!
Lemons are curved yellow fruit, aren’t they?
No there oval, snerk!!
Oddly… specific…
I’m sure those are apples. Sure of it.
Public school children… 18 years into the future.
Always bring a banana to a party.
every public schooler know how to spell bananas, the learned from Gwen Stefani- This s*** is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S
Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring… BANANAPHONE! Maybe they just didn’t want customers picking up the fruit and singing Raffi songs.
I can just hear that pile of fruit scream “I am a banana!” (Don Hertzfeldt’s “Rejected” anyone?)
whatever… around here they sell for 69 cents !
Yes! We Have No Bananas
Who knows, maybe the word ‘bananas’ offends some people so they’re just being politically correct lol (made me smile)
Now now, dont be racist, not all curved yellow fruit has to be a banana. It can be whatever it wants
Kumbya and all that.
Could be plantains…. can’t get them for false advertising then…..

Round red fruit is over there…
Because Bananas are copyright. (Just kidding)
curved is the new straight!
Just found this. Is absolutely not shopped. It was in a Store 24 near my house a few years ago. I took a picture of it too!
@Delilah: Then I’m glad to be straight AND have curves. xD
Acctually, the banana isn’t a fruit, it’s a berry. And the banana tree is a herb..
The guy at our local fruit store always spruiks “Yellow Bent Bananas”
“Elongated Curvy Lemons for Sale….. I think”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Curved Yellow Fruit!
These aren’t the bananas you’re looking for…
