Banana
Suitcase
US Patent Issued
In 2003
Bananas
are the perfect fruit. They even come with their own protective
wrapping that's so effective, it's all we use. You can even grab
a bunch by their stems and then you have a handle to carry them, sorta.
So why do we need a Banana Suitcase, you may ask? Bruises!
That's right, no one likes bruises on their bananas, so our fruity
inventor came up with the Banana Suitcase, a protective case devised
to protect your banana from the dangers lurking in the world outside
their thick skins.
Wanna
hear the inventors instructions? "In use, the user opens
the container and places a banana inside thereof and closes the
container to allow the user to carry the banana in a safe manner so
that it remains fresh and is protected from becoming
bruised." Good thing it comes with
instructions.
Now
wanna here some legalese? Here's what the patent attorney had to
say about the instructions..."As to a further discussion of the
manner of usage and operation of the present invention, the same
should be apparent from the above description. Accordingly, no further
discussion relating to the manner of the usage and operation will be
provided." Hey, we didn't want to discuss it
anyway.
Here's
our two cents on the subject. We've purchased hundreds of
bananas, possibly thousands of bananas and you know what, no two are
the same. There's big ones, small ones, straighter ones, curvier ones
and we're not sure ours is the right size and shape to fit into the
Banana Suitcase. So now we need an engineer to devise a device
for measuring the curve, length and thickness of our bananas to assure
a prefect fit. Maybe the bruises aren't so bad after all.
