Has to be the weirdest thing ever posted to Breaking News.
I’m just curious.
Bananas are .59/lb at my local grocer here in Hoosierland.
How much are they in say...Ottawa or Toronto?
How much does Canadian healthcare hit the costs of food?
Sounds like Obama has a Chiquita in his pocket.
I’ll stick with Bananco or Gorilla’s Choice.
If the Keystone XL pipeline gets built, the ecoweenies will be trying to get other useful idiots like Chiquita to boycott the oil because it is that nasty tar sands oil. Leaves more for me.
Well.... We have the fruits now, the nuts are next.

Not only that, the sailors on those banana ships are wearing underpants made by 12-year-old Vietnamese girls who are only paid 32 cents an hour!
Starting well, how can Chiquita boycott tar sand oil. I don’t think they grow bananas in Canada, well at least not outside. And once they get the bananas to Canada what would they do that needs oil? You know typing Canada and banana can confuse the fingers. Well I guess they could put them in trucks? Does Chiquita have it’s know banana trucks in Canada?
has Hank ever been to Canada to eat a banana?
I understand what they are trying to do, but it’s in vain. This isn’t going to stop Arab oil from being sold. Getting bananas involved is, well, just bananas.
I’m just scratching my head as to why a banana company might be buying crude oil.
Is there also a Chiquita Banana Canada Refinery? I somehow doubt this.
What I don’t doubt is that some kneejerk enviroleftist cooked up this oilsands boycott idea, with no idea that Chiquita Banana had any way of distinguishing refined petroleum products produced from oilsands from any other refined petroleum products.
Meaningless symbolic boycott, meet meaningless drop in the bucket boycott. One can’t move the needle due to impossibility, the other won’t move it much.
This has to be the craziest astro turf campaign I’ve seen in years.
What a complete and utter failure. What type of failed PR marketing exec would greenlight such a ridiculously idiotic astroturf campaign?
Aw gee shucks, I’m feelin good about teh ‘nucks
For standin up an refusin to kowtow
To the eco-wackos over Kyoto
Oh Canada, glorious and free
Standing on guard and Chiquita free!
The idea may sound funny but I’m all for this boycott. Companies pandering to the eco wack jobs as their marketing strategy ought to be made to feel the pain. No more Chiquita, amorosita!
