Wow, a company that specializes in protective banana covers so you don't find a bruised up fruit in your lunchbox! Damn, why can't I come up with stuff like this?

Can't believe I actually looked at the link, Keith. Reckon anyone would mistake the yellow cover for the actual banana and break their teeth?
During the whole April Fools episode I saw a pc memory block advertised that doubled as a tooth brush (presumably for an on the go executive). Now, that would be some invention.. |

As far as I can see it, people with far too much money and don't know what to do with it are probably the ones buying them. I've never had problems with bananas. Ah well...

Sure, I'm pleased about their success. We actually gave some of them away at a charity event last month. |

What next? A watermelon protector? I've always wanted one so my watermelon doesn't get squished in my lunchbox! ***Big Sarcasm Here***

Hmm, a watermelon guard...
I'll pass that suggestion on just in case they're planning on expanding into other parts of the fruit protection market. |

Ah, the fruit protection racket, I can see the film rights being sold as we speak, a trilogoy: The Fruitfather.
Honestly! |
