    Banana Guards

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    Has anyone found a banana that won't fit in their banana guard? Thom has been using mine pretty much every day this summer and I am constantly amazed that every single banana fits.

    They must have done an intense banana study.

    huh?

    Ok, I admit...what is a banana guard. I assume it is exactly what the title implies...but I am still lost!

    I thought someone had revived the old thread about what this product looked like.

    We actually sell these things. You should see the look on a customer when they see them for the first time - very, very funny.

    Sorry katluvr, let me explain my prior comment.

    A couple of years ago, there was a thread about these things...and suffice it to say it became quite a topic...many were either entertained or offended.

    I think the thread was ultimately deleted

    Maybe the banana guard is able to dynamically adapt to various sizes of bananas....

    Even the little lady finger bananas? That MUST be magic! You put your banana in, stuff it in your jersey pocket, and then and only then does it adapt to the proper size. But if I ate a tiny banana, then wanted to hold a regular banana, how does the container know the new size? Or when empty it restores itself to the original size?

    As I said, "here we go again"

    Mr. Silver tiptoes to the bathroom and locks himself in there so the others can have fun

    ROTFLMAO!!!

    I never saw the first one, and now I have had the pleasure of reading both!

    Wow, I noticed that they sell these at a LOT of places in my town.

    Wonder what that's about?? I don't think we eat more bananas here.

    I can't even tell you what some people call that type of banana in Puerto Rico.
