IS NOTHING FUCKING SACRED
The best part is that £10 will get you next to nothing about Sainsburys.
No, that's just the spiders on you

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
76% of all packaged food is in fact spiders.
Fuck...but it tastes so good.
You wished.

I remember when I was stocking bananas at the grocery store I worked at, some guy would always come up and ask if I found any spiders or snakes because this kind of thing happens. I did find a spider in one after that, and quickly got away from it as it scurried away where I couldn't kill it.
Also once found a pair of rusty cutters/snippers/whatever you call 'em in a shipment of strawberries. Felt bad for the person who lost 'em.

Dude, come on? You're not helping. Now that's 2 fruits I have to cross out.

Bananas are over
I know what's going to be on there.
I mean, the clue is in the URL.
I know it will do nothing but strike fear in my heart.
And yet I click. Fuck.
Should have kept my damn mouth shut.
I don't mind spiders, but if it's bigger than a dime and in my house, that fucker's dead.

I love bananas...for the love of all please make sure those horrifying monsters stay away from apples and strawberries or I'll have to become a carnivore
Ewww...eww
Hehehehehe
Seriously, I don't mind where I live as most spiders aren't bigger than say, my thumb and they aren't venomous. Long Live Canada.
Spiders can be introduced at different times. Even during transport to the stores or distribution center.

Did they just pick up a random bunch from the store and not inspect it?

You must have messed up pretty bad in life if you get the duty of holding the barrel of a flamethrower while the other guys shoots.

Well the adult ones are pretty easy to spot because they're so large. Now the brown spiders...
Back when I lived in Curitiba (BRA), every time you were going to wear clothes, shoes or go to bed, you had to shake everything away, because most of the time a brown spider was inside your stuff. And they're so tiny, you could even get bitten and only know when the loxoscelism (don't google, please) kicked in.
Mom always used to tell me as a kid: if you notice a bite mark on your skin, or feel a bite, check if it's two red dots next to each other. If it is, ask for help immediately.
I moved away years ago, but I still shake everything before I use it.

You inspect your fruit for deadly spiders?
I do now.

No more bananas, no more candy, no more uk, no more brazil, no more nothing
I had a trip to New Zealand for approx. six months. Big and small spiders literally everywhere. In the beginning I killed them with my shoes/lighter etc but in the last few months I barely cared. I went to sleep in rooms knowing there are spiders walking around. I guess that could've ended badly since I never bothered to check if they are poisonous or not. Oh well -_-.
Why do I never listen? Urghh, looks like some Krokodil pictures.

Nope thread?
Wat. I just imagined a spider biting somebody's dick, then they have an instant erection and it launches the spider up into the air.

Surprised by the replies here.
Isn't it common knowledge that there can be spiders in bananas?

Ive never even heard of the Wandering Spider.
Wikipedia tells me we could never be friends anyway.

I love how in the wiki it says they shouldn't be handled and yet there's a picture of one on a person.
