Default Bananas by the mile.

OK; another useless trivia survey/story that you may find interesting.

Wal-mart purchases
Quote:
Wal-Mart provided ABC with exclusive access to their distribution centers to see exactly how the company operates and what Americans buy.
A few comments to note:

Quote:
double the number of people who turned out to vote in the last presidential election, shop at Wal-Mart each year.
Considering the number of times you need something from the store compared to the number of opportunities to vote and the number of people who can vote... is this significant?

Quote:
The chain sells 390,000 miles of bananas each year, enough to go around the world six times, ABC reported
Is there a standard length per pound?

And; before you can say "boxers or briefs", you may want to stock up on Pop-tarts before the next storm.
