you've never actually set foot in a supermarket, have you??

This was a reference to some politician (I don't recall which) not knowing the price of a single banana.

No. This is a reference to the show "Arrested Development"

Love that scene.

Can't seem to find it - but some time ago there was a short vid on why the price of bananas world wide was a good litmus on the shipping/economic trade - it went into detail on how banana prices could be used to measure certain stress points in global trade... I cant seem to find it though.

However, in looking for it I found this, which is kind of interesting:

>>"Are there more international laws on the trade of bananas than conventional weapons, like AK-47s?"

>>"The short answer is astonishingly, yes. The global trade in bananas or banana plants is governed by at least three binding global agreements and the non-binding, though strictly adhered to, Codex food code. The arms trade is not governed by any binding global agreements."

It's from Arrested Development.

You're confusing the Arrested Development scene with this video probably: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5RiYxGahps of Boris Johnson claiming to eat Gregg's all the time, but not knowing the price (which I could excuse him for; I have Gregg's now & then & I can only remember the price as being "maybe a little over 1£".
