I can’t believe you talked about la masacre de las bananeras, in Colombia we always hear about it and I was always confused on how the heck it got to that point, thank you so much Bailey 🇨🇴❤️
my father overheard me watching this video and he sat down to watch it with me long story short, my dad is now a fan of yours. he says you'd be a great historian i have now successfully turned my whole family members into your loyal fans 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
You read my mind ! Discovering Avocados was like coming across an untouched gold mine. So you already know how bad the history is , well actually still is .
Isn't that how the US operates internationally to this day? Stories like these are never taught so that it can be replicated. Thank you for your story telling.
Yeah, America, the great democracy. Their only connection to democracy seems to be removing democratically elected people and replacing them with their servants. America is so so disgusting.
Thank you so much for explaining the real history of America's role in messing up people's lives. School never taught me this, but I will make sure my grandkids understand the truth about situations that still affect us to this day!
Our government is still up to the same tricks. If you truly knew about Russia and China and about what has really happened in Ukraine you would have no faith in our government and see why other countries are feeling the same.
I learned a very simplified version of this in elementary school. My music teacher taught us that "dayo " song from the Beetlejuice movie. (This was the year the movie came out) She then proceeded to put on an old vinal of the song and explain what the song was about. "Come Mr tally man, tally me bananas. Day lights come and me wanna go home " Yup it was about the plight of the banana plantation workers. She goes on to explain that the poor workers were slaves just like the people in the sugar plantations we had sung about the week before when we sang "old spirituals".
This is stuff they should actually teach in history. Everything you talk about blows my mind. I'd love to see you talk about hidden lead in a lot of American products, and how it's toxic to peoples health.
If I'm not mistaken the government is the one that mandates what topics to cover in history class. I doubt they'll want teachers to talk about horrible crimes their ancestors did. Most of the time they'll probably want you to hear one sided accounts of how great they are. Vietnam for example would only talk about the evil communists but not talk about the My Lai Massacre where American veterans m*rdered a whole village along with their kids.
Bailey you are amazing!!!! Thank you for your hard work and content! I love it! I listen to you driving, doing housework, whatever and you always make me happy!!
Same here. I watch or listen when doing dishes at home or walking around town to get my steps in during the day. My neighbors probably wonder why I'm always laughing. That's just Bailey 😂!
Bailey, your in-depth coverage of all these dark histories is so appreciated and amazing. You really do your homework, and add in your own humor to lighten up the dark! Thanks for shedding light on these stories!!
Thanks for bringing light to these human rights atrocities. I am of Guatemalan decent and my mother made sure to let me know of this story. All the corruption the U.S caused. I didn't know our fellow Central and South American brothers and sisters also suffered these autrocities. FYI- Jacobo is pronounced like Ha-cobo.. like Ha Ha Ha lol ... It's Jacob is Spanish.
This was such an interesting way to introduce viewers to the treacherous history of the banana 🍌...there are other foods you should look into such as the history of sugar production, avocados etc...people have no idea about how food gets to their tables. The history of Chiquita is insane, I will watch this again...thank you for your research & entertaining presentation👍👍
Bailey I love that lipstick!!! Please share the name!!! Also as someone who had a couple of banana trees, this video just makes me appreciate those trees. They always were fruitful and always helped us when we most needed them. I always loved the fact that we would be to share them with family and friends because of the abundance. It was like a currency in Puerto Rico. I miss those trees... Along with my avocados, Mangos and star fruit trees! We were so blessed
We rented a house in Arizona that had a fig tree, apricot tree, orange, grapefruit, lemon, cherry and a pecan tree. Every season there was something new and they produced such wonderful fruits. There was a banana tree as well but it never produced fruit while we were there sadly
I work in the produce department of a major supermarket chain and Chiquita bananas are one of our main products (i.e. top priority). We are instructed by guidelines to remove any bananas that are "too yellow" or have brown spots , or single bananas that customers have pulled apart from a bunch. For some reason, these sell less quickly and ripen faster when broken from the bunch.. Hearing this story of all the blood sweat and tears that go into producing the Cavendish banana really puts into perspective the cushy 1st world lives we do lead. "Aaw, this banana is yellowish and has brown spots.. time to throw it away!" Such waste..
yess bailey!! lovely video, i love your channel! i told my history teacher a fact abt the dark history of birth control and she asked where i heard it from and i said bailey sarian!! and now im her favourite!!
As if I couldn't love Bailey anymore than I already do, she drops this episode of Dark History. Everything. The history lesson, the witty humor, the ads even!? Top tier! Take notes history teachers! People in general 🥰
I came across something like this being covered in the life and debt documentary we had to watch in Caribbean Studies class... You guys should definitely watch it... Just a warning the content will make you get really really angry about what these big companies do to our Caribbean islands
As a Guatemalan I of course know about Chiquita but i never knew our president was overthrown with help from CIA 🤯 Loved this episode! Thank you Bailey
Same. In US They painted a much “whiter” version. Like most versions of history. It’s white washed or erased. I was a victim of USA brainwashing, like most here are. It’s honestly… shameful. 😔
I knew, but maybe that's because I would spend my vacations out there and my family was into history and making sure I understood my roots. My cousins were my 2nd teachers as they were teachers out there and lawyers.. so it was like not having vacation at all 🤣🤣
When I was in Uni I had to do a project where you tracked a food from farm to table and talk about human/economic/social etc issues as a result.. ‘let’s do bananas’ I said! Bad idea … couldn’t eat one for years without thinking about how the workers were treated, pesticides etc etc
Yes we have no bananas, we have no bananas today. The shtick where someone slips on a banana peel was something that was happening for real. People were eating so many bananas and throwing the peels on the sidewalks and streets. The banana we eat today is the cavendish that was propagated in the late 1880’s because it lasted longer in shipping. The original banana was shorter and very sweet with a beautiful real banana flavor but it spoiled faster than being ideal.
I think it depends where you live. In Philippines, we have different kind of bananas available since we are a tropical country. Shorter and sweeter bananas are still available in our market. And yeah, they do spoil faster so we eat them immediately after buying 😅
^ I knew that! I saw photos of a couple different types of wild (real) bananas and they're quite different.. But when you think about it, so many of our fruits and vegetables are so different now than what they were naturally due to all of the cross pollination/gmo design.
I actually recommended this story back in August 2021 and I'm soooo happy to see this episode come to life. As a Latin American growing up in the U.S., NO one knows about this, but its a part of my history. They never teach things like this in American schools, but my dad's side worked for the United Fruit company, so I personally heard about the horrors. I really feel so seen. I learned some extra things too during this episode. The U.S. did despicable things to our countries. Thank you for using your platform to tell this story and educating the public. It really makes me glad that people are listening to my history and becoming more aware about the horrible treatment of our beautiful lands.
Yes, please do a video on the Cuban missile crisis. I feel like I don't know much about that and this is my favorite way to learn about history! Thanks, Bailey!
*Bailey:* those coupon books... Let's not, nobody wants that. *Me:* [clapping] amen sister! Thank you! Just give me a back rub cause you love me and you want to make me feel loved.
You should read A Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, it's an amazing story and it shows a little about these banana companies in Colombia at the time
@@breannaneden8088 I don't remember if he mentioned it directly, but the railroad that passes through the village belongs to a banana company hahaha maybe he mentions it more in other stories of his that also happen in Macondo (the village from the book)
I’m from Guatemala and hearing the section about it made me sad on how everything went down. Many Guatemalans loved Jacobo Arbenz as president, including my dad, who would of have loved hearing this section as well (He passed away 3 months ago).
i remember my dad telling me a story that his teacher in primary school told him apparently her uncle brought bananas home with him from a trip overseas (Scotland wasn't very familiar with them yet), and when he brought one into the family home to show the kids, her and her mother panicked and threw it in the fire which i just...? was it THAT strange?
I am from Costa Rica, love to hear the exposure in this topics... I recommend people that wants to know more about this BANANA SITUATION read the novel "Mamita Yunai".
I've never heard this story before, and my dad's side of the family is from Cuba. And my husband's dad's family is from Guetamala. I learn so much from you Bailey.
Hi! Fellow Costa Rican and it feels amazing to be considered in a darkhistory video, but this is a really sad chapter of the history of the country that has repercussions till this day
Oh man, this is now my fave or the dark history series! I read a book about all of this in high school and it was insane! I’m from Colombia so this always hits home! Thanks for sharing it! The history of salt and tea’s trade was also this intense!
Also fun fact: the banana that they produced is no longer the one we consume! The Gros Michael was driven out of the market because they could not survive many infections that also drove the soil to be tainted. That’s why the flavoring of banana goods vs. bananas we now eat are different!
Bailey can you do a dark history episode on the dark history of aquariums/zoo’s please? I feel like it’s a topic that needs to be re-brought up. Love u🥺🖤
I fight migraine all my life finally got put on a shot once a month, and I haven’t had a break through in a year… bananas never gave me a problem, but a lot of sugar in my diet did, love this.... I heard some history of the bananas and railroad but it was just the transportation of them in American...
I’m on a once a month shot too and although I have had breakthroughs, 4 migraines a month are incredibly better than the 4-5 days a week. It’s absolutely life altering! Thanks Ajovy! 😂😂😂
Yay the old school commercials are back when you talk and it’s not a pic 😏😊😅 Looking gorgeous Bailey 🥰 your channels and May blessings keep coming your way 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
I love Dark History so much! When I didn't get a notification for the new episode from Spotify yesterday I was worried. Not sure why I didn't get the notification, but I'm here now 💖
Sister , I have had children, migraines and lots of injuries and the most painful of them is migraines ... but the meds that Khloe and Whoopi are in the ads for is a modern medical marvel ...
My SO had tried Ubrelvy for awhile and he said he didn’t have one migraine while taking it. I think the way they work is similar. He actually hasn’t had too many since he stopped taking it. I guess not enough for him justify the med cost.

I thought I just had weird patterns but that's what it is and the faster you find out the better ... be well and sorry so long , lol
Thank you Bailey and your amazing team! Can't believe I watched this entire video about bananas and that it had such a dark history! Also, I'm Cuban and would love for you to do a video about Cuba.
You are such a brilliant and engaging storyteller! I did know the mid-20th Century association with dictators, coups and other misdeeds, but the earlier history was a revelation.
Love your series, great job! But have you ever noticed how banana flavored things don't really taste like banana? It's because the bananas we eat now are a different species than the ones from the 1950s. Remember that fungus you mentioned? It wiped out so much of the banana plants that they had to change the type of banana.
Reading the Fish that Ate the Whale: The life and times of America's Banana King: Rich Cohen doesn't seem nearly as entertaining as listening to Bailey discuss this entire narrative. But, for anyone interested in the history she is discussing the book is a through dive into the topic.
Bailey, your episodes are super interesting and educational and delivered in such a great way! But also, your voice is like ASMR, it's so calming and that gives me a bit of a dilemma because the content is soooo interesting, but your voice makes me so relaxed that i start feeling sleepy :D
This was literally wild. At one point I was like wait is it still the same video lol excellent research thank you very much for sharing. This information is very necessary zero sarcasm.
I remember learning about this years ago and I didn't want to know more, it was so depressing. Made me feel so helpless. Beautiful yellow robe and background 🤭
When I saw the title of this video I screamed, finally someone not from Guatemala is talking about the messed up United Fruit Company. I am from Guatemala and I can say that the United Fruit Company messed up so much for everyone that this is taught at school. Up to this day, we make memes about this. Yes, it was tragic but that is how we cope with all the misery we have to live in here.
I love your videos so much 🤩 It would be nice if the year of what you're talking about was on the screen somewhere, you say it once but then I get confused trying to remember it ^^'
Has anyone ever noticed the "Face under the Lamp"? The scallops of the lampshade are the eyes, the candle and skull make the nose ridge, I believe "Joan's" tail makes the mouth and the table is the chin... 🤭 if it was intentional, that makes it even better 😊 Bananas!! 😉
Hi Bailey, I really like your dark history podcast, and the fact you laugh at the really wrong moments. You know, like when someone gets hurt or killed... I seem to be afflicted with the same disorder. I wonder what we could call it...hmmm? Anyways, the only bad thing is that there's too many "commercials" . I was thinking that I was watching cable TV ! I certainly hope they're paying you well. Thanks for the history lessons. Lydia Ambriz
My name is Chiquita and I was almost not about to watch this. Lol but 5 days later I decided to watch it. Thanks for all ur hard work and great posts!❤️❤️
Ok. I didn’t WANT to know the history of bananas, but now I do 🤷🏼♀️ Bailey is hilarious, because she’s kind of like me IRL. I like to force strange knowledge on my friends. Things they never knew they needed to know 🤣
I haven't eaten a banana in almost 32 years! The ones we get here in New Zealand are fibrous, tasteless and just gross. I miss how they use to taste and how mushy hey were. It's sad that ultimately they will become extinct. Love ya Bailey, keep the stories coming.
I can’t believe you talked about la masacre de las bananeras, in Colombia we always hear about it and I was always confused on how the heck it got to that point, thank you so much Bailey 🇨🇴❤️
We never hear about it or learn about it in the US, big shocker. We are taught as kids America is great and everything has always been amazing
right it’s like all they do is horrible stuff and cover ups and then taught us that it’s all fine
my father overheard me watching this video and he sat down to watch it with me
long story short, my dad is now a fan of yours. he says you'd be a great historian
i have now successfully turned my whole family members into your loyal fans 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Bailey if you think the history of bananas is dark, you should check out the avocado trade. Specifically in Mexico and South America
You read my mind ! Discovering Avocados was like coming across an untouched gold mine. So you already know how bad the history is , well actually still is .
With the recent twist that now druglords are taking over the avocado business in the south of México
Therr are WAY too many cases about produce that she could cover...
ALL OWNED AND RUN BY THE CARTELS!!!

Thank you Bailey and your amazing team! Can't believe I watched this entire video about bananas and that it had such a dark history! Also, I'm Cuban and would love for you to do a video about Cuba.
So sad .. our land exploited .. our people exploited. Almost makes me want to cry.
You are such a brilliant and engaging storyteller! I did know the mid-20th Century association with dictators, coups and other misdeeds, but the earlier history was a revelation.
Love your series, great job! But have you ever noticed how banana flavored things don't really taste like banana? It's because the bananas we eat now are a different species than the ones from the 1950s. Remember that fungus you mentioned? It wiped out so much of the banana plants that they had to change the type of banana.
Bailey saying Ferdinand as ''fernidad" 😄 classic bailey
Reading the Fish that Ate the Whale: The life and times of America's Banana King: Rich Cohen doesn't seem nearly as entertaining as listening to Bailey discuss this entire narrative. But, for anyone interested in the history she is discussing the book is a through dive into the topic.
Bailey, your episodes are super interesting and educational and delivered in such a great way! But also, your voice is like ASMR, it's so calming and that gives me a bit of a dilemma because the content is soooo interesting, but your voice makes me so relaxed that i start feeling sleepy :D
Everytime she said Sam the banana man, I died 😂😂😂😂😂😂
This was literally wild. At one point I was like wait is it still the same video lol excellent research thank you very much for sharing. This information is very necessary zero sarcasm.
Loving the yellow robe 👘 matching with the banana theme. Loved this episode, Bailey🥰
My first retail job was at Banana Republic, this episode hits close to home 😵💫
I remember learning about this years ago and I didn't want to know more, it was so depressing. Made me feel so helpless. Beautiful yellow robe and background 🤭
Bailey really said 'I can't eat bananas without feeling bad, and now neither can you' 😂 we love to see it
Love every one of your videos! Thank you SO much Bailey! 😺
This was so fascinating, informative, and fun! Thank you for such a great episode, I really learned a lot.
When I saw the title of this video I screamed, finally someone not from Guatemala is talking about the messed up United Fruit Company.
I am from Guatemala and I can say that the United Fruit Company messed up so much for everyone that this is taught at school. Up to this day, we make memes about this. Yes, it was tragic but that is how we cope with all the misery we have to live in here.
I love your videos so much 🤩 It would be nice if the year of what you're talking about was on the screen somewhere, you say it once but then I get confused trying to remember it ^^'
I’m going to have my daughter use your videos for reference whenever she has a history paper to do
Made me laugh with a mouthful of sunflower seeds! 😂 I almost died. 😂 Every time she said, "Sam, ....... The Banana Man" I giggled. EVERY TIME! 🍌
Literally scrolled through the comments to prove im not the only one giggling here 😂 i knew it!!
You should publish Dark History. I love watching but I would also love reading your words
first impressions - yellow robe on a video about bananas - well done Bailey, well done
Happy st Patrick’s day bailey. I’m painting my room. Thanks for putting out something new for us to listen too
This was my FAVORITE Dark History yet!
Hi bailey! I love your content, you are funny and tell the story’s in the best way :)
Reading the description and realized they threw a line in from Arrested Development ❤ such an underrated show
I had no idea! Yes, someone should make a movie about it!
13:05 Timestamping, coz I wanna replay Bailey's 'Pop Quiz' about men with money & power forever! *dingdingdingding* indeed!
Has anyone ever noticed the "Face under the Lamp"? The scallops of the lampshade are the eyes, the candle and skull make the nose ridge, I believe "Joan's" tail makes the mouth and the table is the chin... 🤭 if it was intentional, that makes it even better 😊 Bananas!! 😉
Yes. I'm always looking for something in background! Never disappointed 👏👏🥳🥳👀🥰
Also love how she has different robe and different colored pillows wh each video.
How awesome wld it be just go chill wh Bailey on couch and chit chat
it's really sad how these big companies & powerful countries disregard human lives for profit & influence
Wow!! What a story! Makes you look at everything different..
Hey Bailey! I hope you’re doing well 🖤
Holy moley!! You managed to cover SO SO SOOOOOO much in such a short time!! New fan from Denmark....LOVING your work!!
Me when Bailey went "mmmhmmm" at Scorpios: *gasp* *clutches pearls* I'm not scary!
Me when Bailey went "mmmmhmmmm" at leos: PREAAAAAAACH
It reminds me of the day-o song.. "work all night til the mornin come.. daylight come and me wan go home"
Great informative story! We don’t buy many bananas but I think we’ll stop altogether now… they upset my stomach anyway!
Great video Bailey. Love your channels. I’m gonna quit eating bananas. Thank you.
Hi Bailey, I really like your dark history podcast, and the fact you laugh at the really wrong moments. You know, like when someone gets hurt or killed... I seem to be afflicted with the same disorder. I wonder what we could call it...hmmm? Anyways, the only bad thing is that there's too many "commercials" . I was thinking that I was watching cable TV ! I certainly hope they're paying you well. Thanks for the history lessons. Lydia Ambriz
My name is Chiquita and I was almost not about to watch this. Lol but 5 days later I decided to watch it. Thanks for all ur hard work and great posts!❤️❤️
You probably get a lot of random proposals, so I'll refrain and leave that to the professional crazies. 🤣🤣 great video.
I love the fit and makeup this episode. Also a high-five for the banana induced migraines
BAILEY!!! You need to cover this book called The 1619 Project
Holy cow 🤯 all of this craziness over bananas!!!! Loved this! What a ride😎👏👏👏❤
Sam the banana man 🤣 I cant stop saying it 🤣🤣
Nobody:
Absolutely nobody:
Bailey : “Sam the Banana Man”
Ok. I didn’t WANT to know the history of bananas, but now I do 🤷🏼♀️ Bailey is hilarious, because she’s kind of like me IRL. I like to force strange knowledge on my friends. Things they never knew they needed to know 🤣
I haven't eaten a banana in almost 32 years! The ones we get here in New Zealand are fibrous, tasteless and just gross. I miss how they use to taste and how mushy hey were. It's sad that ultimately they will become extinct. Love ya Bailey, keep the stories coming.
