Tenerife #18 - Goin' Bananas

A global spat on banana distribution had erupted in late 1993 between the US and EU. On one side, you had your American-owned Latin American companies pumping out larger-sized bananas, and on the other side, you had European-owned enterprises that operated in many former colonies of Africa, the Caribbean, and Pacific with smaller-sized bananas.
It was all kind of like a “my banana be better (if not bigger) than your banana" battle.
