The creator of the banana protector answers the question on the lips of many a banana-toting New Zealander:

“Are you fed up with bringing bananas to work or school only to find them bruised and squashed?”

The unique, patented Banana Guard device allows for the safe transport and storage of individual bananas, letting you enjoy perfect bananas anytime, anywhere. They’re designed to fit “the vast majority of bananas” and feature “small perforations to facilitate ventilation…preventing premature ripening.”

Well, I’m glad someone’s got their priorities straight. Go bananas in our fresh produce section and grab yourself some fresh fruit.
