Last banana on campus?

I went hunting for a banana smoothie at uni today, knowing that they’d soon be unavailable (and/or ridiculously expensive) for a fairly long time in Australia (as a result of cyclones that wiped out 95% of our production and biosecurity restrictions on imports). First stop was… the place behind the dividery wall thingos downstairs at Manning, with no luck… they were all out of bananas at 10:30am! I tried BB’s over at Wentworth a couple of hours later and managed to get one from there. BB’s smoothies rock. Haven’t tried hot drinks from there yet, coz it’s too far away and the only time I feel like hot drinks is when I’m near the cart outside Fisher… but I had a bad experience with a mocha there so… yeah. Mind you, I think the person who made it wasn’t the usual guy. I’ve had better since, but am still a bit wary.

Anyway. Last banana(s). I saw one of them that went in and it looked really good… what a shame! (Yes… natural disasters have ramifications other than bananas, and that’s bad too… we’ll take that as implicit!) So yes, that was a good drink. If you want banana smoothies or muffins or whatever else banana-related go hunt them down sooner rather than later… prices/KG have already gone up by lots in shops, so it’s only going to be a matter of time before cafes and the like either stop selling them or make products with them in really expensive.

And I don’t have a “food” category to post this in. Ah well!
