Honestly, that's just bananas.
Oh brother this guy stinks!

Wait till they post something about Planters... Waggles eyebrows
If aliens could judge us, they'd say: "So you are telling me, that humans have killed each other for imaginary lines on the ground; in the name of feckless leaders who don't give a fuck about you; and bananas?"
Bananas are at least understandable, we gotta eat
Or hoard if you’re Donkey Kong.
For context, this was back during that stupid time when people could buy Xitter authentication.
I thought that was still ongoing? When did they revert the change?
I thiiink there are multiple checkmarks now. General bought blue check marks and gold verified? I think...?
I don't think Xitter authentication existed in 1954...
Xitter
My apologies, but it’s Twitter for as long as that cock-sucking, ball-gargling, butt-plug-looking, fascist-asshole-of-a-non-tax-paying illegal immigrant piece-of-shit anal-bead-wannabe motherfucker who needs to get the Hell out of our goddamned country is alive and walking free.
Twitter.com still brings you to the website, i imagine the trademark is still registered
So it is still correct to call it that
as opposed to this stupid time when people can do that.
...isn't that still the case? They took it away, changed the color or something, and brought it back, didn't they?
You could buy Xitter authentication in 1954? 🤔
Can't people still buy the blue check?
It's true, too; Chiquita was vital in overthrowing the Guatemalan government.

Fuck Dole and every family that still holds power from the coup.
Chiquita is a bad exploiting brand
At this point you might as well just assume every corporation is shit and be pleasantly surprised when you look them up.
I mean, yeah, but Chiquita/United Fruit are on a whole different level. They're the ones who single-handedly destabilized a whole region, funding multinational death squads, coups and shit. That's the whole joke.

Edit: to be honest, anyone unfamiliar with this period should brush up on it. This was the last time the US truly functioned as an empire (or tried to), and the key arguments are going to be the same now as they were then.
It's still good to mention it, when they are mentioned. I mean, otherwise we just normalise that status.
sure; but I prefer my bananas to be slave free and traded fair :)
It's been 50 years, Chiquita should treat itself
You're off by two decades
It's been 30 years, Chiquita should treat itself.
Plot twist: A whistleblower denounces that Chiquita was the major Trump campaign supporter.
I miss the week where Twitter essentially allowed free speech for $15 before they shut it down after everyone immediately clowned on every single corporation and celebrity in existence.
And thats why im not buying ur stupid bananas
They were quite prescient, since the Brazilian coup attempt happened on Jan 8th 2023
Well, this one was not done by them.
Oh, not since 1954, well excuse me! :P
Loo-seeeeeeee!!! You got some splainin' to dooo!
Chiquita banana, chiquita banana, Obama
