A banana sold at a Sotheby's auction for 6.2 million continues to cause a public outcry.

Shah Alam, a New York-based fruit seller from whom an auction house employee bought the banana for a Maurizio Cattelan installation, was upset to learn he resold it for 18 million times its value.

The organization Feed Foundation launched a van with an image of a banana and the caption, “You can feed 62 million people with this.” Imaginary Friends produced a public service announcement condemning the purchase of a banana for 6.2 million.
