Cartoon Heroes

Thanks to the combined efforts of Superted, Scooby Doo, Mighty Mouse and the Powerpuff Girls, the supply of bananas to little Eric has been restored. Apparently, Professor Chaos was behind it all, and he would have gotten away with it too, had it not been for those meddling kids.

Anyway, all is well with the universe...

or is it?

For my mid-morning snack, I ate a banana. Only to discover that it wasn't very nice. Instead, in order to hasten the ripening process, Tesco has had the bananas put under a sunbed and blasted with UV light. This has the effect of getting them to market sooner, but leaves them green at the top, and generally not very nice.

They have, it should be noted, done the same with other fruit at other times - try buying strawberries from them in March.

I can only conclude that this is all part of a deeper conspiracy. Professor Chaos must have had allies! Fortunately, intrepid reporter Clark Kent is on the case...
