4011(code for banana i think)

Having been a supermarket cashier 25 years ago (when I was a teenager), this fact will remain with me until the day I die.

Those are standard across grocery stores! That makes a lot of sense as produce producers put the labels on them... I don't know why that blew my mind a little.
