A couple of years back we had a cyclone that wiped out 90% of the banana crop. The economy slumped, people went into a general malaise and shop keepers place memorials where bananas were normally seen. Children were forced to eat apples and oranges, monkeys at the zoo lost weight and people forgot how funny it is to see someone slip on a banana skin. The price of a banana was listed on the stock market and only the rich and famous would be seen with them.imports were introduced and sold on the streets along with other addictive drugs.
