Police did not identify the discount supermarket chain. However, they said the cocaine was found at stores in several cities across the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
Employees at a discount supermarket chain in Germany found 95 kilograms (210 pounds) of cocaine stashed inside crates of bananas, police announced on Monday.
The drugs are reported to have a street value of around €7 million ($7.8 million).
Police did not name the supermarket in question, but said the drugs turned up in several cities around the western state of North-Rhine Westphalia.

Somewhere in Europe, there is a very disappointed drug dealer staring at a number of boxes that contain nothing but delicious, healthful South American bananas.
“I don’t care if you have to eat every banana you are going to find the drugs”
Banana bread is good though
Just imagine cocaine bread though. 🤔
That’s a good point. Plus, it’s summer, and you can’t do summer without a banana split here and there.
Is… is it summer? we are about to have fucking october.
checks
Aw, looks like fall started yesterday:

The fall equinox and the first day of autumn arrives on Sunday, September 22, 2024, at 08:44 A.M. EDT in the Northern Hemisphere.
Seems crazy that official summer lasted until just now, wow. Didn’t realize that
I still wish we would adjust our calender system by a few months, so the seasons align better with each quarter.
I’ve never had a banana split… Now I wonder if I’ve ever really done summer.
You’re okay if you have done watermelons.
Asset managers gonna be snorting pure whole bananas to stay awake.
I’m guessing the store employees originally uncovered 100 kgs of cocaine
If I found money I’d take it. But wtf would I even do with all that cocaine? I have no idea who I would sell that much to without getting arrested or killed. I would just turn it in and ask for a reward
But wtf would I even do with all that cocaine?
People seem to super enjoy doing the cocaine itself!
There was a reddit post years ago, I think from /u/borax, with guidance on this scenario. Essentially he recommended splitting the cocaine up into Mason jars and burying them. As long as you were patient and didn’t tell anyone, you could have a lifetime supply of coke to sell or share with your friends.
Meanwhile in Austria
Do you have pictures of the banana costumes?
From now on whenever someone goes undercover I imagine them as speaking Banana
I would love to see the faces of those policemen when they read this article…
That’s bananas
Somebody’s family is having a rough week
There’s always money in the banana crate.
Something like this happened at a fruit distributor in the Netherlands and they called the cops. Arrests where made but due to a fuckup during trial a full list of the fruit companies employees where left in a file that went to the defence. One lawyer refused to remove it and several years of threats and attacks on the fruit distributors personell followed.
Soon to be appearing in Aldis middle aisle?
Is that the one with the random $20 disposable boomboxes and drones nobody wants?
How much could one kilo of bananas cost?
100k?
There’s always cocaine in the banana stand.
Well gee wiz, so that’s where it went
Johnny Chimpo back to his old shenanigans!
Whats the going rate on bananas these days?
I thought bananas were nature’s candy, not nature’s nose candy.
You haven’t lived until you put a banana up your nose.
Why always bananas? Why nobody tried to hide coke in idk, flour packs?
Maybe because only the bad ones get caught 🤔
