You can't get bananas at Starbucks anymore, and no one seemed to notice for over a year

• Starbucks removed both fresh and frozen bananas from its US menus in May 2022.
• Other chains have been streamlining their menus by removing complicated items.
• Bananas aren't complicated. But Starbucks' strategy focuses on complex drinks customizations.

If you fancy picking up a banana with your vanilla sweet cream cold brew, you're out of luck.
