So, here we are in 2026, and Instacart has decided that you are too sophisticated to just settle for “that bunch of yellow fruits over there.” Enter the aptly named “Preference Picker”—where you can dictate the theological status of your bananas. Not ripe? Almost ripe? Ripe? You got it! It’s like ordering a drink at Starbucks, but for potassium-packed snacks.
Now, before you roll your eyes at a tech company pandering to our picky produce personalities, let’s acknowledge that we’ve come a long way since the days of fumbling through grocery aisles like a caveman. Instacart claims that this snazzy new tool will soon be expanded to cover all your avocado needs and, wait for it, deli meat thickness! Because who hasn’t had a meltdown over how thick that turkey slice is?
In case you need extra convincing (or you want to see Ben Stiller hilariously advertising bananas during the Super Bowl), all this customization is about giving you *control*. Whether you’re hosting a brunch or just want to avoid the horror of biting into an overripe plantain, Instacart is putting the power back in your hands—or should I say, your fingertips.
But will this feature change your entire grocery shopping game? While we’re still on this rollercoaster of high-tech bananas, let’s just say it might not revolutionize your life but could ensure your breakfast smoothies are a little less tragic.
So what do you think? Are you ready to embrace a future where you can personalize your produce, or is this just another smooth-talking gimmick?
