Relax… This isn’t a government experiment, or a small farmer screwing with nature to produce a cucumber-banana hybrid. This and other foods are part of a fun art series by Hikaru Cho titled, “It’s not what it seems.”
Various produce and other foods are painted rather awesomely to look like completely different items. Other mind games include an egg disguised as an eggplant and a tomato painted to look like an orange. Although, a cucunana sounds pretty awesome.

The Banana Tree Stump is brought to us by our favorite artist/food player, Brock Davis. A few hours later, banana stump bread was enjoyed by all.

When your bananas turn to the dark side, you have very few options. You can either chuck them, make banana bread, or wait until they totally turn black and recreate an evil sith lord.
Artist Matthew Mahoney has forgone all of that unnecessary baking — instead, creating a Banana Peel Darth Vader entirely from peels.
So, what no banana bread? NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

The iBanana iPhone Case is an inexplicably large and impractical iPhone case, that will surely get people talking. Unfortunately that talking will mostly be the people around you discussing what an idiot you look like with a giant silicone banana up to your ear.
The iBanana is available here, and unsurprisingly from Japan.

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.
