Just like you I have spent an inordinate amount of time trying to find the fruits and veggies that are in good shape to bring home. Usually, Ry just tells me to get the one that isn't too soft or get them a little green. I call this the produce battle, but Now we have another foe to consider. A spider in your bananas that will bite you, cause an erection for 4 hours and make you impotent... if it doesn't perform a murder/death/kill on you.
It's The Brazilian wandering spider, and is part of the genus Phoneutria, which is Greek for murderess. That name fits huh? So... Yeah painful 4 hour erections, impotence and death. The great news is scientists are currently researching the venom as a remedy for erectile dysfunction. Nevermind the death side effect. Now enough about the spider.

A woman in Wales named Layton was shopping at a Tesco, which I gather is like UK's version of a Wal*Mart from snooping online, and bought a some bananas for her daughter. When she got them home she noticed some weird spots on them, which turns out... Surprise! The bananas were infested with a Brazilian wandering spider and spider eggs. Which she was concerned would get loose in the house and kill her daughter. Her husband... She never mentioned. anyway she immediatley plopped the bananas in a container and put them in the freezer.

Tesco apologized to Layton, and asked her to return the bananas to the store for a refund, which seems like a pretty bad recovery from selling people Killer Viagra Spiders with some fruit. In case you get hungry right before impotence and death.
