Damn that's crazy. I've never heard of bananas being associated with violence... anytime in the last 120-140 years...
It's where the term "banana republic" comes from.
Okay I'll come clean; I literally chose the range "120-140 years" by looking up the year that term was coined (1904) 😂
And then we made it cute by putting it on clothing. What a twist.
It’s actually a super cute brand name if you just disregard everything about it
That's bananas
