Banana keepers

**Skierchickie** · 05-23-2009, 08:12 AM

Okay, some friends bought this Banana Bunker for DH for babysitting their dog one day. As a joke, of course (I HOPE!).

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.

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

Banana Bunker in action.

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.

Yep!

I so glad that the kids walked by while I was looking at this

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.

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

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

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.

This thread is so not safe for work!

What if the banana is too big for the keeper?

Rinse banana in ice cold water?
