Chiquita bananas. They literally stole entire south/central American countries and used death squads and the CIA to enslave the workers and kill them when they asked for such unreasonable demands like being paid in actual currency

Banana Republic is a term coined for all the countries where this company operated.

As someone who lives in a banana republic that now has banana republic stores in its malls, this is a perplexing and sort of insulting end result, and I don't understand how the name of the store ever took off

Don't forget Dole. They caused the annexation is Hawai'i.

Both have paid terrorist organizations in the last couple decades.

It tastes like the marshmallow banana candies/"fake" banana flavouring
