Really gonna make me click the link.... which does not explain...

Guess ill look it up.... Aaaand its just a marketing thing. No purpose.

Just the tip, to see how it sells

The red wax-tipped bananas can be found in two Japanese supermarkets — one in the Kanto region, the other in Hokkaido

Well, that explains why I haven't seen them. I imagine they will still be wrapped in plastic at least once for local markets here. I assumed the wax tip was to avoid using plastic or something, but I guess it's just marketing.

Never seen these... What's the point?

Every time I see those in Coles, I think to myself, "Ah - uncircumcised bananas!"
