6. Study on Anthropomorphizing Bananas to Boost Sales

Bob and Tom explore a recent study published in the journal "Psychology and Marketing," which examines how giving single bananas sad, anthropomorphic features can increase their sale by nearly 60%.

Tom: "They placed a sign in front of a banana bearing a frown and the message, 'We are sad singles and want to be bought as well.' Shoppers appeared to be moved by the emotional signage, with sales in single bananas increasing nearly 60% compared to the neutral signage."

The hosts debate the effectiveness and ethical considerations of such marketing tactics, blending humor with insightful commentary. They speculate on the psychological impact of anthropomorphism in marketing and relate it to everyday shopping experiences.

We'll be back with more from the Bob and Tom show as we're experiencing technical difficulties. We'll be right back. Hey, guys. Love listening to you as I drive into work every morning. Thank you. This must be some sort of military situation. I thought you'd get a kick out of knowing that when you started playing Word up by Cameo earlier, I was driving through the security guards on my base. She started dancing and said it was a great way to start her morning. Yeah. In other words, instead of listening to this show, she should go listen to Word Up. Is that what you're saying? Well, don't encourage people not to listen. We were the guard. Yeah, the guard heard it on our show. And that's what she said. I like to imagine that guard going, hey, what are you listening to? And then he goes, oh, the Bob and Tom Show. And she's expecting more of Word Up. Yes, Whatever we have going on. Oh, geez. Yeah. I have a letter from Brian in Dayton. Bob and Tom Show. Hi, Christy. Well, hi, Brian. When I got married, my wife surprised me when she put peanut butter on a hot dog. Oh, I thought she was nuts till I tried it. I eat hot dogs like this quite often. She said it was called a Wisconsin hot dog. Huh. I've never heard of such a thing, but all right, Brian. Was she blindfolded? Why do you ask that? Because maybe the peanut butter was on. Pat's doing his own show. No, seriously now. What is that in English? How does that joke work in English? I don't know. I bombed. No, no, you put peanut butter on. Lottie says he eats grilled cheese sandwiches with sweet and midget pickles in the. In the side of them, and it's the greatest thing ever. A little. Yeah, I've heard of that. Pickled worms, please. And we had. I told you. My dad did peanut butter and bacon. And our first letter writer did peanut butter and bologna, which bologna is pretty close to a hot dog. Yeah, true. It's a hot dog pancake. Did you know that? I get. No, no, I'm thinking. Oh, you mean. I mean, the baloney is a hot. Baloney is a hot dog pancake. Thank you. I've never heard the. The Wisconsin angle for it. I haven't heard it And I've spent a lot of time in Wisconsin. Never heard that. I heard a Minnesota hot dish. That's like a protein in any. You ever have a Cleveland steamer? Oh, Tom. Yes, I have. Right to poop. I certainly have. I certainly wouldn't shut him up. He wouldn't need one of those, would you? You ever give somebody a peanut butter hot dog in a blindfold? Nice callback, man. You ever do that? You ever wonder what a hot brown is? Those are good. Yeah. Open faced sandwich with gravy. Ton of cheese stuff. Chucky hot brown. That was a minute at the Brown Hotel, right? That's the law behind it. I'm staying at the Brown Hotel for a wedding next weekend. I think I'm gonna eat one day of the wedding. Yes. It's impossible to eat just one. Sweaty on the dance floor. Diarrhea on the dance floor. Ask them if they serve blumpkins too. Ask them. Yeah, they may. Yep. Okay. Blumpkins are in season. I see. By the way, earlier this morning we played a special tribute. Did anyone notice that Mary said the Smashing Pumpkins. Yeah, I did. God, that made me laugh. Made me smile so sweet. Now, Pat, you got your guitar out. I assume you have a song for talking about hot browns. I was trying to think if I remember the chord changes. To what? He has a song, he has a tribute. Well, the question becomes to killing me softly. What do you want? Do you remember the chord changes? I could give it a shot. I may screw it up. You guys will all heck of me. Heckle me. I'll heckle you for saying hecka. I'm gonna heckle you and heckle you. Do you need a nap? Yes. Three, two, one. Do it again. Three, two. Hot brown Supper in the city. Turkey, bacon, ham, but don't look pretty. Lots of gravy. Not a little bit. It's a favorite of the Louisville city. Gravy all around. Slices of bread, Large piece of turkey bigger than your head but at night your tummy aches. Lay down that hot brown bakes. Come on, go all night. Squeeze those cheeks real tight It's a bummer it ain't pretty after supper in the city I just wasted your time. No, we love that. I'd give it a shot. Just pick up the guitar. Yeah, that sounded nice there in the beginning. Let's. Let's move on. What's happening? While we've been talking about food, let's stay with that topic. Researchers say shoppers can be made to feel sorry for single bananas and tend to buy them. Oh, Not. No way. What? A banana all along. Yep. Now listen to this. This is a scientific experiment. This is fascinating. They placed a sign in front of a banana bearing a frown and the message, quote, we are sad singles and want to be bought as well. This doesn't count at all. They also tested a non empathetic sign that simply labeled the fruit as singles wanting to be bought. Shoppers appeared to be moved by the emotional signage, with sales in single bananas increasing nearly 60% compared to the new rigged study. Yeah, this is dumb. The study titled anthropomorphic Sad Expressions Reduce waste of single imperfect food, and it was published in the journal Psychology and Marketing. You don't think it's fashionable because most grocery stores don't do this. Yeah, they don't display that way. Also, if this is an issue, just take the single bananas and then put them at the coffee shop. In the grocery store. Like, why do. What's. They're going to be fine. No, but the point is, they're. You're. They're anthropomorphizing it. In other words, like a little smiley face. Right. Now, let's. I'm gonna put this in terms you'd understand. Please. You're walking in the grocery store. Prepare to be insulted. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Frozen pizza with a frowny. And there is a. No, no, no. You're eating a dar of chocolate. No, there's a. There's a single slice of pizza with a smiley face saying, I need a home. Yeah. There's no way I would just. Oh, look, a slice of pizza. Let me get that. Home sweet. No, I mean, I think this is really interesting. It's a controlled experiment. They did the same thing with just a sign saying single bananas. Right. Same price. But when this single banana has a little frown on it. Yeah. They're tugging at your heartstrings. They sell 60% more. There are bananas, for God's sake. I think. I think they're manipulating the scenario too much. The signage. And that's the whole point. Well, I don't know. I don't think. What's wrong with buying a single banana? I thought it was a great story. And for you guys, apparently it lacks appeal. Well. Well, we got. We got some effort out of it. I mean, he put pen to paper there. Greg Hahn to drum is what he did. Maybe they should try this on the dating apps. Yeah. What a sad, lonely person. A person with a frowny face going, I'm sad and single. You kind of do the opposite. You kind of make them angry. Yeah. A Lot of hubris. Yes. You don't. You don't put something. If I don't get a little action, it's over. No, A lot of line. Yeah, yeah. Guy's sitting there next to a 9 millimeter on the table. Jeez, Tom, look, if you say no, this is it for me. Okay? You understand that, right, ladies? You put that in your bio. Which way is. Yes, sweeping, right or left? Not sweeping. It's so funny watching. You've know we've been talking about Tinder since 2011. What? Swiping, swiping. Swipe right. Okay. There you go. What do you want? Janitor's meat. My name is Tony. I work at the grade school. Looking for a little love. Has anybody started. Has anybody started a fake dating site with, like, something like that? Probably where janitors meet and just see what would happen. Be sweet. Well, so sorry. I thought the banana thing was fascinating. Yeah. Yeah. You often think, this isn't a new thing. Yeah, no, but I mean, you're manipulated at the grocery store, they have all kinds of tricks. But what we're arguing is you're not. That you're not often manipulated in this way at all. Most grocery stores don't put up. They don't do that. Yeah, Yeah. I think it would be if it was a little bit more sinister. It's what I was expecting. So let's say they had. This is too overt for me. Let's say they have one of those sample things where you're walking down the hall, down the aisle, and there's some super hot woman. Would you like a sample of, you know, new diarrhea juice? And look at her. You gotta think for a second. His point is distract. His point is that the product is so bad. I understand that, but I think just go for like a brand. But I don't think that has anything to do with the product. It's the hot woman. Right. That's what. Yeah. So if an ugly woman is selling the best grape juice you've ever had. Yes. And a hot woman selling diarrhea juice. Yes. Diarrhea juice will sell more. It's still just. I'm going grape juice, Right. I'm drinking the grape juice and I'm looking at the diarrhea woman. When you're hot, I beat the system. And that back goes, how come there's no booze in this? And that goes, how come there's no booze? You're. You are in rare air today. You're being mean to everyone. And somehow he's missed me I don't know what they said. That chick's man whose cigarette buddy, I like to think we're smoking together out back on his way in this morning went, ah, hell with it. I'm burning every bridge. These guys have been on my ass all week. That's it for another Bob and Tom show. Extra. Catch us on itunes, Google play and stitcher for Bob and Tom. Extra.
