“This Shit Is Bananas” — poster made with bananas

Back in the 1950s, Guatemala got a new leader who pushed land reforms that United Fruit (yep, Chiquita) didn’t vibe with. So the company ran to President Eisenhower — and the U.S. helped remove him.
That one move sent the whole country into decades of chaos.
Some stuff certain countries used to do is just bananas.
This whole story is so wild it literally inspired this poster 🍌
