    For those out of the loop, Wikipedia explains: "In internet culture, bananas are sometimes included in images as a reference for the size of other objects in the image [...] often accompanied with the text 'banana for scale'."

      Nice one! I like this take on the theme
      • Maxish 🤓6:11 · 2022-04-16T20:26:13.839Z
        Nice! I enjoyed all the scales! Dug deep for MOHS even though you gave me tons of crosses.

            were all the phallic references on purpose too? surely that can't be a coincidence (9D, 18D, 22D, 16A) 🍌🍌🍌

              You know, I didn't intend it, but perhaps my subconscious did...

              Great way to approach the theme, and funny themed clues too!

                Definitely one of the most clever ways this theme has been interpreted yet! Fun, smooth fill too.

                    Great puzzle. I was toying with a "banana for scale" theme but couldn't quite make it work.
