What is the proper name for a bunch of bananas?
The group of bananas commonly referred to as a "bunch" at the store is actually a "hand", or less commonly "tier". The "hands" are taken from a "bunch", which are all the bananas that grow from a single pod. The is could range up to hundreds of bananas in one bunch, and could weigh over 100 pounds.
What are your thoughts on this subject?

One banana is called a "finger".. so it makes sense that a bunch is called a HAND.
