A Edinburgh Christmas market stall has been ridiculed by visitors for charging a fiver a piece for bananas.

The chocolate fondue dipping stand has been mocked for 'ramping up' banana prices after one visitor posted a picture of the price tag online.

The post in the 'Edinburgh' subreddit was met with considerable amusement as redditors attempted to unpick the hefty charge.

"You assume this is for them to be dipped into something rather than just a fiver per plain old banana...." wrote one.

While another user was quick to say: "If they’re not dipping it in silver I ain’t buying. Do you think I could sell them some bananas £2.50 each? "

The post was also jumped on by fans of the US sit-com Arrested Development.

Quoting lines instantly recognisable to fans of the hit comedy series, one user wrote:

"There's always money in the banana stand."
