    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!

    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.

    Size Doesn't Matter!

    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.

    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?

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

    Oh, I dunno', I think pulverizing bananas is loads of fun. Twice in one ride is even better.

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