Eight-ball, top stem pocket. The Banana Pool Table was created by designer Cléon Daniel and carpenter Julien Forder — taking about a year to make. So the questions we have… How do you bank a shot when there are no straight sides? And, where does one find that much yellow felt? Find out more about the project here.

Even when it was the only video game that we had, Pong kinda sucked. So, what better way to improve upon Pong, forty years after its heyday, than with bananas? MaKey MaKey Banana Pong is brought to us by Pete Prodoehl, using game paddles made from bananas.
The object of the game is simple and remains the same… Don’t let the pixel get past your paddle. And, don’t squeeze your controller too hard.
Recently, we were exposed to the art form of banana tattoos… So why not banana sculptures? Enter “Fruit” by artist Matt James Stone — a series where bananas take the form of whimsical yet somewhat disturbing pieces of art. Some grotesque and malformed banana bread cannot be far behind. See more here.

We all know the deal… Bananas turn brown, we make banana bread. But for the creative artsy types who can’t necessary bake, we make Banana Tattoos. This particular bunch is brought to us by graphic artist Honey — who creates the portraits with nothing more than a banana and a safety pin. So they’re like prison banana tattoos — sweet.

A few things that are wrong with ordinary banana ice cream… First, it’s banana-flavored. Secondly, it continuously misses the opportunity to borrow from an actual banana’s brilliant engineering and design — until now.
The Pega Pop – a product of Brazil — forms the ice cream into an actual banana shape, then uses an outer layer made of edible gelatin to form a peel. If you can get your hands on one, peel one open and take your pseudo-banana to go.

If you’ve always wanted to use a handset with your iPhone, and don’t mind talking into a fruit — the iPhone Banana Handset is for you. Give fellow commuters and anyone else within shouting distance a good laugh — as you kick it old-school with your new tethered handset.
And, please excuse us for the lack of banana puns here — we used them all on the Banana Car.
