It's a linear extrapolation that doesn't take into account the not completely unreasonable chance that commercially viable banana varieties could go [functionally] extinct or that climate change will make it dramatically more expensive to grow them in sufficient quantities such that the price can stay on trend.
I mean, one variation has already had that happen to it... the "Fake" bananna flavoring just didn't get changed when the bananna strain got changed.
Ah yes, the Gros Michel banana. It's the banana my parents grew up with, but is now virtually extinct. Weird story. Even weirder that it could happen again.
This does not take into account the potential failure of Dole / Del Monte / Chiquita and Banana Republics revolting in the near future.
But it was a frozen banana street food, not a literal supermarket banana. Feels like we might be within a decade of street food snacks costing $10!
