Does your banana need protection?

What I want to know is of the four colours available, why is yellow not one of them?

Ribbed for your pleasure!

I think yellow is taken care of with the clear one--the yellow of banana shows through making it look, well, yellow.

I prefer the banana guard, and they do seem to be catching on in Japan. The last time I was at Tokyu Hands, they were running low on them. Interestingly, I've never seen any of my students or anyone else bring a banana to school (other than me, that is), which makes me wonder who's buying them...

Ok, I have the giggles now.

Yes, I am 8.

Even in this fast paced economy, these products create the possibility of eating fresh fruit whenever the consumer wishes.

Uh... huh.

*snicker*

Kim, I'm right there with you. I'm not sure I ever made it past age 7, though. Banana Bunker indeed.

Then I must be 7.

There was a similar product mentioned on a thread here perhaps two years ago.

As I recall, it was not offerend in colors - just translucent plastic.

Hmmm.

BananaGuard [or a close facsimile] is also available in 'glow in the dark'.

For when you really need to be able to find your banana in the dark, presumably.

I guess I am 5 then. I rolling on the floor, dying with laughter...

Mr. Kim says that he would like to buy one, but they aren't big enough for his bananas !

You know this thread is going to be deleted, right?

Is this possibly a commercial endorsement for Wang's Banana Bunker?

But it's very relevant!

When the banana guard first came out in Japan, one of the news shows did a test using 20 different bananas of various shapes and sizes. The only ones that didn't fit, were the deformed bananas (their odd shapes wouldn't fit into the guard) and what I think was really a plantain (it was too big).

So...unless Mr. Kim is carrying around a deformed banana, or a plantain, I'm quite certain the banana guard would be fine for his bananas.
