What a great invention. I anticipate these flying off the shelves. I know I have encountered many problems carrying bananas. Thank god someone had the foresight to solve this common problem...



January 26, 2005






Going Bananas



banana bunker!

Is that a banana in your pocket, or are you just extra pleased to see your DailyCandy e-mail this morning?


Now, now. Your pants are no place for fruit. Neither is your backpack, your briefcase, or your purse. Get yourself a Banana Bunker, the best fruit prophylactic your money can buy.


It was designed by artist/inventor/architect (and, if we can believe his hype, "tremendously creative individual") Paul Stremple, who used to do spaces for Gucci, Ralph Lauren, and other style powerhouses, but is now focused on keeping your banana free of unwanted nicks and bruises. Just slide the protective sleeve over your banana, and it's cool to accompany you to work, on a hike, or anywhere else you might be wanting a little pick-me-up. Your banana will emerge fresh, firm, and oh so delicious.


Which you certainly can't say about something that's spent the day in your pants.



Available online at bananabunker.com.

oh i know, i just meant that to think of something like this he (or whoever suggested the idea to him) must be really passionate about their fruit.

I was just looking at this! I went to the website and tried to figure out if it was a joke or something...strange...if it is simply a banana holder as it's advertised, are those ridges in the middle really necessary? Hmmm...

Not sure if this is right or not but if it is for real it may be to expand for different sizes of bananas and then it splits there for the opening.  Who knows though.

Yup, looks like a bendable straw...so you can adjust to fit the length of your, umm, banana.  Either that or...the better to grip it with, my dear!


Some of life's advances just don't need to exist.
