I am buying two! They are perfect!
I just lost a ball of yarn to a banana carelessly thrown into my work tote. Smooshed into the foot or so of scarf I had started, and stained the rest of the ball.
I love Banana Hammocks!
I sooooooo want to get a few of these for Christmas gifts. Brings a whole new meaning to “stocking stuffer”. I know my Mom would never ever under any circumstances transport a banana anywhere in it if there was any chance at all that she would be seen with it and questioned. Like at work. Where she eats her bananas.
I can think of a few co-workers who will be getting one though.
Q: Can I use my Banana Guard to protect my miniature Boomerang?
Most excellent product. I have many people in mind for this! So I can innocently say “what? what?” When they look at me askew after they open it!
Oh- I have a feeling that the rifling through lunch boxes is not to look for unauthorized food but to get food out for snacktime. If the snack that you packed is buried in the lunchbox it means all the kids or the teachers have to search through the lunchboxes to get it.
That’s my take anyway.
Thank you. I can’t remember the last time I laughed that hard (and for helping with my Christmas list).
We’re talking 5-year-olds. I have enough trouble with the 8-year-olds in my class at snack-time, who use snack retrieval as a 15-minute break near the backpacks if they’re allowed. Requriing the snack to be easily accessible makes a lot of sense to me.

Yes **IvoryTowerDenizen **and **LeftHandofDorkness **have it right. I believe snack time is about fifteen minutes long. If they sent each child to their backpack to open all the various pockets in search of their snack, it would probably be pretty chaotic and take up most of snack time. Also, snacks need to be separate from lunch boxes so they don’t accidentally get eaten at lunch time.
I believe what they do is when the kids arrive in the morning, they have them pull their snacks out (whip them out?) and put them in the snack area. Which reminds me, the Banana Bunker will also be useful because I can write her name on it. Evidently enough kids bring bananas that they had to start labeling them - one day she brought her banana back home, and I noticed amidst the browning and bruising that she had written her name on the peel somehow. Don’t ask me what they do for apples and peaches - I don’t want to know!
Apropos of (almost) nothing, has anyone else noticed that the word “snack” can get very funny if you read it multiple times?
Snack snack snack!
(To misquote Hobbes of Calvin and Hobbes: You smack my snack, and I’ll crack your back!)
Don’t mind me…just babbling. Carry on… : 
Not only the most popular, but imagine when the Keeblers go home and ask their parents for “one of those clear things you put over a banana. We saw it in school! A kid put it on his banana!!” Emails will fly.
Heheheheh. “At school, one of the kids showed us this thing you can put on a banana - it’s clear plastic, and it’s ribbed!” The soccer moms with the “W” stickers on their SUVs are so gonna stroke out.
I would love to get one of those banana keepers. Bananas make the rest of your lunch taste like banana, you know, plus the squishing factor. The fact that they are (probably) unintentionally so suggestive is just a bonus!
