Sep 6 2007Keep Your Fruit Fresh And Unblemished

I can tell you want one already, even without being entirely sure what it is. Well that's understandable, I was the same way when I first saw it. Introducing the Banana Guard! It keeps your favorite taser shaped fruit safe and unbruised on your way to work or school. They cost $6, and are available in a variety of colors, with glow in the dark coming out soon. What better way to look cool and let people know you care about fruit than rocking the Banana Guard. Excuse me sir, is that a Banana Guard in your pocket? Hell no lady, that's my penis. I ate my unbruised banana for lunch. Thanks Banana Guard!
One more of the benefits of the product after the jump.

1. We have smoothed out the alignment when the Banana Guard is closed. Easy to open and close; designed with kids in mind.
2. Eliminated the need for flip down locking clips in favour of a more secure mechanism that makes a satisfying snapping sound indicating your banana is well protected.
3. Now capable of custom printing possibilities for company names or logos to replace "Banana Guard" on larger orders.

this was all the rage back in 2004... :/

Might be a fun way to get kids to eat their daily fruit, but even so eventually the novelty would wear off.

Hmm ok, except for the fact that you'd break your banana trying to put it into there it's a novel idea but useless.

All I see are colorful dildoes.

Well, you could puree banana's down to a banana mixture, pour into these case's, keep under pressure and, walla.........perfectly standardized banana's. If there isn't a market for uniform banana's conforming to ANSI standards, well, then all is lost.

Do the guys who made this actually think all bananas bend exactly this way? I bet most would break if you forced them into the moldings.

I bet you can't take that on an airplane. Um....and why do we need glow-in-the-dark ones? Is there really a market for this sort of thing? Silly.

There is another suggestive looking banana holder called the Banana Bunker at this site: http://www.vat19.com/dvds/banana-bunker-protects-bananas.cfm It's ribbed.
11. echoroc - September 6, 2007 5:26 PM
wow you people are a bunch of haters. this thing is cool.
and nominus, you need to lay off the apostrophes.
12. missa - September 6, 2007 5:30 PM
#10 It looks like a banana condom.
13. Tash - September 6, 2007 5:52 PM
This thing came out years ago and the glow in the dark version is already available in the UK ( http://www.bananaguards.co.uk/eshop/ ) I'm sure you can elsewhere.
14. lenoz - September 6, 2007 6:01 PM
this post has pleased me so much. nominus and echoroc provided me with laughs, and there was no useless shit posting "first". i am happy.
15. Bryan - September 6, 2007 6:38 PM
$6?? I've seen 'em sold at the dollar store. =/
16. Uber Bean - September 6, 2007 10:48 PM
functional AND stylish
17. Uber Bean - September 6, 2007 10:51 PM
but what if your banana doesn't bend that way?
18. Banana Mana Man - September 7, 2007 12:33 AM
Who cares if the banana would break if forced into the moldings...??? Imagine what it would do to my penis! *drools*
19. Maddy - September 7, 2007 1:33 AM
if a kid showed up in school with that, i would love to bully him!
20. Idea - September 7, 2007 1:37 AM
I sat on one of these once.
21. betch - September 7, 2007 1:57 AM
banana holder?
i think they're better weapons. to smoosh into someone's eye when they try to rape/mug/kidnap you. better than betting all that eye juice all over your fingers.
also to use as a sodomy weapon if you're gacy.
22. butterbee - September 7, 2007 2:45 AM
and if you did want your banana bruised.... what would that case look like?
23. dumjenius - September 7, 2007 4:51 AM
but banana's come in different shapes and sizes...
unless the guards amendable..
24. wizzpop - September 7, 2007 8:33 AM
I have one of these. they are quite big and wide and the curve is designed to fit most bananas - ive never found an ill fitting banana in all bananage. Plus the glow in the dark one came out years ago.
25. Commodore Pabst - September 7, 2007 8:36 AM
fuck it. let's talk about shit that my grandma invented back in the 40s... ey why don't you post something about things that are innovative, like the internet, or gopher, or ftp?
...nah, just kiddin'. i like it.
26. Stuey - September 7, 2007 8:59 AM
go ghettofied and wrap it in aluminimum foil. Never understood that...nor basic math. lol
27. emh - September 7, 2007 9:32 AM
From the FAQ:
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.

#5: It is not spelled "walla" It's voila. VOILA.
29. clark - September 7, 2007 3:41 PM
this is great for girls that wanna be kinky but don't want to use a REAL bananner, you know, for obvious reasons.
30. Mikey B - September 8, 2007 5:24 PM
all my bananas are straight.
31. Raquel - September 10, 2007 1:20 AM
Well I must say, I couldn't be happier about the upcoming glow-in-the-dark version. I never hit the clubs without a banana in my bag and let's be honest, it's hard to see what's in your bag when you're ripping it up on the dancefloor.
Whaddya mean you don't eat banana's on the d-floor? Weirdo.
32. nominus - September 10, 2007 8:57 AM
#28 aka tool: I do not care. The way I spelled it got the message across without being confused with a larger violin.
33. denacem - September 11, 2007 2:35 AM
that's soo old. we have one of those in our house since ages
34. denacem - September 18, 2007 11:38 PM
YOU BETTER COME OFF AND FUCK WITH THAT!
35. MisterBP - October 6, 2007 8:51 AM
HAHA
nice invention, i completely need one of those, all the bananas I own are all slumpy
36. my_acid_words - February 12, 2008 4:05 AM
They should've called it banana armor (say it out loud, it makes more sense).
Much better marketing idea. Apart from that, i would probably have to hit someone if i saw them with one.
