We have been buying "baby bananas" here for months, so I guess there is a different kind. The ones we buy are on a big stalk and they cut off the number you want ("one hand"). They are delicious and do keep a lot longer than the regular long bananas, which I don't particularly enjoy. I like the tarter taste of the "babies".
I haven't bought an apple since arriving in San Pedro. Have not missed them enough to succumb to what I knew would be high prices. I used to love apples in the US, but only certain ones -- pink ladies, cameos and some of the other newer varieties. Golden delicious and red delicious are very un-delicious to me!
