Went to a grocery store today, and there it was, right on the display - a bright, radiant Chiquita Banana. I picked it up, didn't negotiate, paid full retail. No regrets. But a few questions:

Should I leave the sticker on? That Chiquita chick is kinda hot...

Will it go up in value? Related - if I take the sticker off, will it depreciate?

Is it normal to enjoy it with the peel still on? Or is it weird?

Can I take a shower with it? Is it anti-magnetic?

Finally, when I want to upgrade to a plantain, where is the best place to sell my banana?

I thanks you all in advance for your kind help.

I hear a price increase is happening tomorrow at 06:00, so your curved yellow things, if original and unpeeled with original papers, will be worth twice what you paid for them yesterday.... you could probably trade one of them for a bag full of red round things or a bunch of little round green things....

Twice?! That's a drastic increase. Ok, so I'm keeping it unpeeled, it's settled.

Yeah, the patina was uneven... It would never see light of day.

belk7 · 2 April 2011, 10:57 PM

You know, Chiquita is a true tool banana as opposed to overproduced fashion bananas like Del Monte. Also, I just don't like the tint of the green color on some of the "newer" bananas.

mfer · 2 April 2011, 11:30 PM

This is what I have to look forward too!

Love it!

LMAO! Upgrade to a plantain!

I think it should be a safe queen. That way there there is no chance of bruising or denting it or heaven forbid getting squashed. If it does get damaged is there a service center you can it to?

Sose · 3 April 2011, 12:51 AM

In case you didn't know, while you are not spending quality time with your banana (that sounded sooo wrong) you can put it on it's very own display stand like the one below.

One more thing, serial stems are hard to identify depending on it's maturation rate and date. Here's how you can accurately determine how vintage it may be.
