MEME REFERENCE

Arrested Development how much would a banana cost

Use when someone reveals wealth or privilege by wildly overestimating the price of an ordinary item.

What it expresses: Distance from everyday costs produces a confidently absurd guess.
Example: An executive estimates that a bus ticket costs fifty dollars, and employees respond with the banana quote.
When not to use it: A shopper checks a fluctuating price because they are budgeting carefully; uncertainty is not privileged detachment.
