Aug 27 2009Why Didn't I Think Of That?: Banana Phone
The Banana Cellfoam is a $10 piece of foam rubber that molds around your mobile phone, making it appear as though you're taking calls with a banana. Which I think we can all agree is pretty genius. Plus, you can turn your phone on vibrate and tell a friend to call for an instant sex toy! Kidding, that's icky. Holsters for the banana phone are also available, or you can just keep it in your pocket and save $8 while gaining some much needed respect from the ladies. You know, because they won't think it's a banana -- they'll think it's a gun! And firearms, dear reader, should be respected at all times.
Thanks to Matt, who once tried to impress the ladies with a whole pocketful of bananas but ended up getting beat within an inch of his life by a monkey that escaped the circus riding a tiger.

Too bad my phone is a flip phone. But yeah, you'd need the matching ringtone. So you know it's the mental hospital calling, that is.

I have one. It rips pretty easily, but if you have a very small phone you should be fine.

I had a burger phone but I lost it in a fight against a redneck who escaped the rodeo riding the exhumed body of ronald reagan.

35. Jaded Icon - August 28, 2009 11:17 AM
@ 36
Well, considering you probably quickly muttered your order and then gave him a death glare hoping that he would re-ask you what your fruity coffee drink was so you could give him his daily berating.......he might get a pass from me this time.......BUT ONLY THIS TIME!!
36. Wendy - August 28, 2009 12:16 PM
My boss once taped a handset to one of our work phones to his head with masking tape and claimed to be speaking to the president all night (we worked graves what can I say)
He's more of a monkey though. I need to pass this on to him so he can buy one, and he will... buy one.
37. STOMPY - August 28, 2009 12:38 PM

Why not just talk into a regular banana?
40. ciao - August 28, 2009 7:47 PM
pat, that results to only be talking to the banana...and I do believe that we both know they're not social fruits. :B
41. reptilard - August 29, 2009 5:28 AM
Yeah its a good thing for an Iphone, I'm sure it will never explode wearing the banana costume.
