New revelations about the lengths to which 41-year-old Liberal Party politician Paulina Brandberg, Sweden’s Minister for Gender Equality, has her aides go to protect her from bananas have emerged in Sweden.
Brandberg admitted to the fear in 2020, but the revelation that she has her staff clear rooms and “secure” them before she enters them hit headlines earlier this month. Now, Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet says it has seen no less than 44 emails from Brandberg’s office, where her staff have written ahead of very high-profile meetings to prevent fruit-based gaffes.
Brandberg’s staff emailed EU summits, the Norwegian government, and the speaker of Sweden’s Parliament. Even the top of Swedish society is not immune, with an email making sure Brandberg wouldn’t be confronted with her fear for no less an occasion than dinner with the King.

Probably because people have accommodated their nuttiness, rather than call them on it. I remember we were detailing a building, once, ahead of a walk-through by a four star General. Painting any chipped spots, generally making sure things were orderly, and a Lt Col was going around putting the dictionaries in every office in desk drawers “because the General hates the color red.” Did the General tell him to? I doubt it. Did the General really care? I don’t know. But I watched a growed-ass man run around hiding dictionaries.
Generals are treated with a great deal of deference, by pretty much everybody. Any nuttiness might be brought to thd fore by such behavior.

We’re gonna get hi hi hi
With the music on
Won’t say bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
‘Til the night is gone
I’m gonna do it to you, gonna do it
Sweet banana, you’ll never give up
We’re gettin’ hi hi hi in the midday sun

My brother-in-law was forcefed bananas as a small child because of potassium deficiency and can’t stand being around them or the smell of them. This sounds different.
