almost every day in my neighborhood there's a truck riding around selling fresh produce out of the back and someone yells out the wares over a megaphone in the same exact monotone script.
what struck me is the part where they say "we've got strawberries,red ripe bananas..." i thought they must have meant bananas and red ripe strawberries but no they say it every single day.
so for a little while i've been wondering what the hell is a "red ripe banana". well
they exist!
