Some highlights from the Web site:
- The Banana Guard is available in nine colors, including glow in the dark. The best selling color is "Mellow Yellow."
- You can give someone a gift certificate for Banana Guards. (But that ruins all the fun of giving the Banana Guard as a gift and watching the recipient's face turn assorted colors and contort into a variety of expressions as s/he tries to figure out what in the heck s/he has just received.)
- Banana Guard's slogan is "Protect your banana!"
- 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. ("Banana Trauma," I think Dave Barry would agree, would be an excellent name for a rock band.)
Oh, how I miss Dave's column; I'd be all over sending him the Banana Guard link.

I especially miss the Dave Barry of about 10-15 years ago -- he once wrote a column in the form of a transcript of the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings, in which he attempting to phonetically replicate Sen. Thurmond's input. "Suhnwuuh bean cudrin' m'heah wiah tang brefuss-drainh" was translated as "it appears that, during a recent nap, someone has dyed my hair with Tang breakfast beverage."
I dunno; maybe it's being in South Carolina, but not being from South Carolina, that makes that funny to me.
