its a great idea in kids school/nursery bags coz they get squashed e.t.c

ds wont eat it if its squashed so we have one, we also have a range of inflatable apple, peach and pear holders

PMSL - omg I nearly spat my coffee out........they look seriously dodgy

ethan - why not just use a plastic tupperware type tub???

LavenderTea · 22/09/2008 21:50

Do your bananas actually fit. Looks a bit bendy to me. and Inflatable peach holders ??? Can't believe I'm asking but is there a link ??

they need guarding from the perilous pears, the anti-christ apples and the 'orrible oranges and big fuck-off figs.

Roofles!

Ashantai · 22/09/2008 21:57

Surely its some kind of sex toy given a fake practical use to avoid embarrassment??

Lilymaid · 22/09/2008 22:01

I bought one of these from Lakeland for DH's Christmas stocking a couple of years ago - interesting shape when wrapped and sticking out of a stocking! It is larger than normal bananas and this means that virtually any banana with any reasonable bend in it will fit in.

ethanchristopher · 22/09/2008 22:09

you can get them from the gltc. "herewww.gltc.co.uk/fcp/product/-/bestsellers/Inflatable-Fruit-Carriers/1745"

I ADORE mine

falcon · 22/09/2008 22:11

Mine do. Without fail when I put a beautiful yellow banana in my bag in the morning, come lunchtime it'll be completely black and mushy.

Sputnik · 22/09/2008 22:14

YABU.

I never go anywhere without mine.

LavenderTea · 22/09/2008 22:14

Ethan, do you have lots of cupboard space at your house? Just asking cos I bet you have the inflatable yoghurt pot holders too, and lots of other such parafinalia too ,,,

Only jealous cos I have a tiny kitchen with only enough cupboards for the bare minimum

i dont have the yogurt pot ones tho. GO ME!

mumto2andnomore · 22/09/2008 22:16

I have one but too embarrassed to use it now after lots of rude comments !

ethanchristopher · 22/09/2008 22:33

wow look what i found

FAQ · 22/09/2008 22:34

but what is wrong with a standard plastic tupperware type box? You only need one for any shape of fruit (or yoghurt).......

Sputnik · 22/09/2008 22:36

I want an inflatable peach holder now.

ethanchristopher · 22/09/2008 22:36

faq - tuppaware isnt pretty

moondog · 22/09/2008 22:37

Fucking ridiculous.
In manner of hob covers.

FAQ · 22/09/2008 22:38

well neither is the banana,pear, plum, peach or other squashable food once removed from it "guard"

lilysmummy2007 · 22/09/2008 22:39

pmsl at ashantai, it looks like the contraption we bought for a friend on her hen night, or rather the casing for the contraption, and £6, i would just buy a new banana if mine was so squashed

Sputnik · 22/09/2008 22:40

If you use a standard tupperware box you'll end up with loads of unused space (unless you fill it with grapes or something ). It's inefficient.

Plus the banan guard has little holes so the banana can breathe, you wouldn't want it getting sweaty would you?

ethanchristopher · 22/09/2008 22:40

rofl

this thread is cheering me up in a huge huge way.

but the point is that the banana doesnt look like a squashed erm... banana for example. and with tuppaware it still slides around and gets bashed against the boxes sides but in an inflateable carry case it fits in nicely and stays unsquashed
