My Mom wass from Brazil and she told me when I was little that finding a tarantula in your bunch of bananas was good luck.

Was my Mom a little off?

Step father works for a cold storage facility that supplies Kroger. They gas the bananas for that exact reason so you won't be getting giant spiders in your bananas here in the US

That "tarantula" is probably a banana spider and if you consider "good luck" dying a painful death then I guess whatever floats your boat.

I imagine every food in brazil comes with an assortment of insects.

Brazilian wandering spiders are dicks because they like to hide in bananas and bite people :(

I worked at a grocery store on front cash, but during a particularly dead shift I got sent to produce to help stock bananas. This was the time my coworkers decided to tell me about banana spiders. Good tiems.

There's been a couple employees that found critters in bananas. One guy found a huge spider, another found a lizard. Someone who kept reptiles took it home and it lived for a couple of months, so I guess that's kinda cool.

sounds like a blast

yeah man, those produce guys were such jokesters, I never knew what they'd hit me with next.

I made it through the shift without encountering anything, luckily.

Isn't this the spider that gives you a diamond boner and the desire to fuck the living shit out of anything and then die horribly?

You could just read the link he posted...

>Aside from causing intense pain, the venom of the spider can also cause priapism in humans. Erections resulting from the bite are uncomfortable, can last for many hours and can lead to impotence.

teehee

on an ordinary day after school when i was like ten, i was hanging out in the store 'organic' themed my mom owned.
was sitting in the back and got hungry. opened a new case of bananas for a little snackaroon and found a giant tarantula.
i screamed and got my mom to take care of it. she caught it- dirty hippie- and put it in a jar. she called up some scientist to take it for his research. apparently it was a 'brazillian wandering spider' and could have killed us all.
the scientist guy died like six months later and my mom wonders if he took it out to study it and got bit or something. idk, but fuck things with 8 legs.
