Banana vending machine

I read with interest that Japan launched its very first banana vending machine on June 23^rd in Tokyo’s Shibuya station. Fruit in a vending machine is a novel idea and should be applauded.

Dole, the biggest fresh produce company in the world, has provided the machine. When I squint hard enough, I’m pretty certain that Captain Banana, if that’s his name, has a banana mo.
