Banana keepers

[KnottedYet]

Oh, great... now they come in "glow in the dark."

I just can't keep a straight face.

"the new design is more rigid"

Oh, dear.

[Zen]

It's not that I'm at a loss for words, I just don't know where to start.

I absolutely must have one of these. Glow in the dark, of course.

[lph]

I have one of these! Not the glow in the dark one, unfortunately.
I use it to take bananas to work, but it's most important function is to entertain my colleagues if it's a slow day :D

[bambu101]

I like the "preventing premature ripening" part. :eek:

[Blueberry]

How 'bout one in "ravishing red" - oh my!!

[Trek420]

And passionate purple :p Is that a banana in your jersey pocket or are you just happy to see me? Someone had to say it :p

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

Where do you put the battery??

[Trek420]

Who needs batteries :p :D :rolleyes:

Someone had to say it, sorry TE

[Kitsune06]

:eek: :eek: :eek: :D

batteries??? Lisa! I thought you of all pple could appreciate the good ol' hand powered models! beefy forearms and all...

...gotta open the banana holder somehow:rolleyes: :p

Well....for the flashing blinkie lights and turn signals, of course! Don't want any traffic accidents, mind you. VrooOOOOOM....

They obviously have the "G" thing covered pretty well. :p

[Jolt]

Oh boy...someone has gone bananas! (Sorry, had to say it!)

[SouthernBelle]

Um. They're bent.

[Aggie_Ama]

I am pretty sure they cannot sell those in Texas. We have a law against selling things they deem immoral. :p :p

And just who decides that :eek: because one persons degenerate art is another persons banana keeper :) :p :p :D ;)

[bikerbarb]

Two summers ago I went to a 3 day bike event by the Toronto Bicycling Club and they gave those away as door prizes. I didn't win one, but decided I had had to have one and they were only available in Canada. The shipping was a lot! But I actually love it for the fact that it works never realizing the implications of it! It keeps my bananas from getting pulverized!

Pulp fiction style...

JULES
Nobody's gonna hurt anybody. We're
gonna be like three Fonzies. And
what' Fonzie like?

No answer,
JULES
C'mon, what's Fonzie like?

YOLANDA
He's cool?

JULES
Correct-amundo! And that's what
we're gonna be, we're gonna be cool.

best movie ever :D

Where do you put the battery??

This from the Banana Guard Website:

Q: "Is there a battery attachment?"

A: No. The Banana Guard was designed for its intended purpose only as a device to prevent banana trauma during transport.

[nicole309]

Q: "Not all bananas are the same size or shape, so how can the Banana Guard fit them all?"

A: The Banana Guard was specially designed to accommodate the majority of banana sizes. Our testing indicates that over 90% of commercially available bananas will fit into the Banana Guard. Highly curved bananas can be straightened ever-so-slightly without harm to fit the Banana Guard shape. The opposite holds true of very straight bananas.

[Xrayted]

So it's a one size fits all kinda thing? Hmmm, I dunno. That has never worked for me. I guess I'd have to be more precise and selective in choosing my bananas. Imagine standing there in the market with a tape measure and a protractor checking over the bananas. How many interesting stares do you think one would get? :eek: :D

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

...a device to prevent banana trauma during transport.


(!!!!!!!)

[SouthernBelle]

Nothing worse than a traumatized banana.

[maillotpois]

Excellent, Pedal Wench! :D

Well, it would be better than bringing one of those *&^%$ things into the grocery store to size your bananas!

[Starfish]

Didn't that used to be called a cup?

[BikeMomma]

It keeps my bananas from getting pulverized!Oh, I dunno', I think pulverizing bananas is loads of fun. Twice in one ride is even better.

:eek: :eek:

in my best, most innocent Steve Earkel voice: "Did I say thaaaaaaat??!

Lending more decorum and class to this thread, of course........:p

Well that's just what I was thinking. Must get the right size and all that. :o:eek:

oh my, (fans herself....)

[teigyr]

I'm just happy it prevents premature ripening. Nothing worse than a banana being done before you're ready for it :eek:

you're on a roll!

Okay, some friends bought this Banana Bunker for DH for babysitting their dog one day. As a joke, of course (I HOPE!). :eek: I don't even want it in the house. I searched the site, and this looks different than the one that was posted before (unless I missed something). I think this is even worse! I have not found a banana that will even fit in it - the "ribbed for pleasure" area looks bendy, but isn't very flexible at all - the lid would pop off easier.

That one is definitely worse....

Worse for who...er...I mean what? :D

I think the ribbed part is to expand for your longer...bananas.
I want one of those.

:eek::eek::eek::D:D:D
ROTFL! Thanks for a good laugh. I'd be too embarrased to pull that out in public. As it is, I can't eat a banana without Dh sniggering. Better to deal with a mushy banana.

[Mr. Bloom]

Yep! :rolleyes::rolleyes: I so glad that the kids walked by while I was looking at this:rolleyes::rolleyes::eek::eek:

There's nothing like hearing your son say "whatttt is thatttt??"; "Don't worry son, it's just something you use to protect your banana"...and I always said "TE is a safe place!":)

Like stiger, thx for the laugh of the day. :D

I never quite understood banana protectors that have been around for ages. Guess some people are real fussy about their banana(s). :p

Why not design one for..lovely mangoes or peaches? OK, we won't go there now. :o:p

[Chicken Little]

I can't stop reading this thread...

erm...I knew exactly where this thread was going before I even opened it.....:rolleyes:

Yep, but did you notice it's evolved over a two year period?

I've actually seen "Frootguards" (can't remember the name for sure) for apples, pears, etc. at the kitchen store on Granville Island. Not quite as cool as the banana guard though.

[Kelly728]

This thread is so not safe for work!

What if the banana is too big for the keeper?

Rinse banana in ice cold water? :D

Hmmm...that just raised images of a certain George Costanza scene from Seinfeld
