got a banana?

spotted on Lakeland's site today, is a banana transporter.
banana storage
Transport your mid-morning snack to work or school
without it looking as if it's gone five rounds in a boxing ring!


why can't you just transport it *in its skin*? And what if your banana is not the shape of this contraption.

it's mad.

They've been around for years. And I agree, they're mad.
As are the little bags of sliced apple in Sainsburys.

but as you're not allowed sharp objects anymore ...

I've seen these before and they are the most stupid thing I've ever seen. What a waste of plastic, as if the environment isn't clogged with it enough as it is!

These are great - I'd love to have one, as would any cyclist.

You'd probably be able to attach it to the bike frame, wouldn't you, along with the pump and the lock?

as would any female to male cross dresser.

Skins can be punctured. This is body armour.

Your banana *should* be this shape, if the EU Bananananazis havn't had their wicked way with it. :-)

But I recon it's somewhat silly. Still, there are other things you could fit in there I daresay and always *tell* people it's a bananana if they ask. "Is that a banana in your pocket or are you..."

Poor unprotected bananananas are no match for an overpacked bag - even if nothing squidges it past the limits of the skin, covering the rest of your bag with a light film of it, it'll bruise in a matter of hours. And you can get glow in the dark ones from some company that was making probably since before lakeland borrowed the idea.
