Banana Guard.
 
What I found interesting was what prompted this question at the end of the FAQ?
Quote:
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.

Hmmm... Wouldn't want tramatized bananas, but what unintended purposes do they foresee? 
Jokes are way too easy.

The answer is provided by their helpful FAQ:
Quote:
Q: "Not all bananas are the same size or shape, so how can the Banana Guard fit them all?"
A: The Banana Guard was specially designed to accommodate the majority of banana sizes. Our testing indicates that over 90% of commercially available bananas will fit into the Banana Guard. Highly curved bananas can be straightened ever-so-slightly without harm to fit the Banana Guard shape. The opposite holds true of very straight bananas.

I'm not sure the banana guard itself is as frightening as their color choices.. "brilliant blue" "passionate purple"?!

Aberrant Designs Inc. is an "idea company" founded by three Canadian Emergency Room Doctors who found themselves extremely concerned about the fruitless amount of banana trauma and abuse taking place in the world.
Canadians love their bananas.
