Chuy Inn Aceves is a small wholesaler and such dealers in Mexico often put the labels on their bananas, or other fruit, right at the wholesale market. This is most common with specialty bananas, like baby bananas or plantains. The Cavendish (4011) bananas are more likely to be boxed with labels on the farm. In Mexico I don't think mistakes happen that often, but the business may be short of labels, or need to use them for certain clients. Wholesalers who sell to supermarket chains, which demand labels, will use whatever they have on hand-- true banana labels, generic house brand labels, or other labels. I saw the avocado labels being put on baby bananas, and then I later found two more variants. I joked with the guy pasting labels and he just laughed and said why not, maybe I'll sell more avocados. Quality is not a real issue; we in rich counties demand flawless bananas and other fruit. In Mexico or other developing countries, the "ugly" banana may be the best tasting one, and people know it. I laugh when people buy apple bananas and tell me they were terrible and they got a mouth full of chalk-- they have to be almost black to be ripe. Mango labels, and sometimes papaya labels are the most common substitutes. But there is also the other side of the coin. EP Banana labels are common in Brazil at Hortifruti stores, but on mangos, and each mango has a banana label. But in a box of bananas you may find only three or four EP Banana labels, if any, right on top. So I liberate the mango ones. Pretty funny.

You are right John, it raises an interesting question. From a marketing point of view, it does not make really sense to put an avocado sticker on a banana and to believe, it is promotion. The customer will most likely think, it is a mistake and is buying a cheap banana where the quality processes are low.

YONANA is something complete different, where the product ICECREAM MAKER can be well combinded with a banana AND there is a "call to action" to scan a QR code or visit a website, where some receipes with bananas are explained. That way you are doing perfect "cross selling" and promote a new product when buying a banana.

For me is to put an Avocado sticker on a banana a simple mistake. Because they run out of banana stickers or the people at the packing station did not read carefully enough. This mistake you can do onec, but to do it 3 times is hard to believe.

But when you say, you have seen all this stickers on a banana, I add them of course to the catalog. You see, how important our "verification" process is and hope you can certifiy this 3 stickers to be banana labels for us.

It is really fun to discover strange banana stickers from all over the world! Thank you very much to share it with us!

This raises an interesting question. When a company like Chuy Inn Aceves from Guadalajara places avocado labels on bananas to promote their other produce, that makes it just as much a banana label as when Dole promotes a product like Yonanas or with Del Monte's classics. like Nila Wafers. It has also been common to find bananas with the wrong PLU label on them, as with Asake Mexico with either 4011 or 4051, both on bananas, and not once, but multiple times over the years! And many growers or wholesalers use a generic label on all kinds of fruit, including bananas -- like some of the common Aceves labels. So, for me, if it's on a banana, it's a banana label!

There will be a certification of Jefe. There are some variants of this avocado labels that also are used on bananas, but I didn't add them to the catalog. Just because they are avocados ...
