They are vietnamese. Do not be a presumptuous fool and start speaking to them in Tagalog just because they have longganisa, chicken relleno and tocino in the freezer.

Design Ethics

Del Monte is in a trial period for their individually wrapped bananas. They're sealed for freshness!

----

The price has not yet been revealed, but is likely to be significantly higher than the cost of buying a loose banana at a supermarket – typically around 15p.

While the trial may seem bizarre at a time when big businesses are under pressure to reduce packaging waste, Del Monte insists the addition of a clear plastic bag is actually a green measure.

The company claims that the bag contains ‘Controlled Ripening Technology’ – which extends the shelf-life of the banana by up to six days.The banana is put into the plastic bag when it is green and, according to the manufacturers, goes on to ripen more slowly than if it had been left in the open air.

The product is also being trialled in the U.S. where the wrapped bananas are selling for one dollar each – around 62p.
