The Banana Stereo Record Player is Bananas
Only in the 1970s could you find such a fruity stereo. Wait. Bananas are a fruit right? Or are they an herb? I have no idea now. I just know that this stereo is bananas.
This portable record player is shaped like a banana and what is even more bananas is that it could be played in any position. Even upside down. And look at the pic. Look how portable and easy to carry this thing was. That was some serious technological innovation.
It was apparently inspired by Andy Warhol’s banana painting that served as an album cover for the rock band Velvet Underground. Crazy. Sadly, this vintage record player was recently sold on Etsy, so you can’t have it.

Bananarama: Banana-Scented Scratch And Sniff Wallpaper
If you go bananas for bananas, then you might want to check out the unusual wallpaper created by Flavor Paper in collaboration with Michael Angelo of Wonderland Beauty Parlor. It features loads of bananas set on a bright background, but what sets it apart from other banana-themed wallpapers is the fact that you can scratch it to catch a whiff of–you guessed it!–bananas.
It doesn’t matter which banana you scratch, because each one of ‘em will give off that scent you go ape for. The scented sheets start at $110.

This Superhero Banana Bread Looks MARVELous
I can think of no better way to celebrate your passion for Marvel’s superheroes than to make some tasty baked goodies in their form. That’s exactly what Flickr contributor Cindy Li did when she baked up this batch of delicious looking banana bread, baked in the shapes of Thor, Captain America, The Hulk, Iron Man, Spider-Man and Wolverine:
These are truly bananas, Cindy. Great job!
It’s Almost Like They Want You to Slip: Banana-Shaped Caution Cones
Making caution cones and signs a whole lot more interesting are the fine folks from Banana Products. You see, they’ve taken the conventional yellow cones that warn passersby about slippery floors and turned it into something far more eye catching: a gigantic banana peel. The irony and humor is not lost on us.
The Banana Cones are made from high quality polypropylene and have the warning message printed on all four sides in black and red print.
Now this is doing signs right. The Banana Cones are available in sets of three from Amazon, or you can get one from eBay for $47.

Banana iPhone Case: This Sh*t is Bananas
I’ve definitely seen some weird and impractical iPhone cases over the years, so why would I think this trend would ever end. For instance, did you know that if you’re in Japan, you can now dress up your iPhone 5 as a banana?
This wacky thing was spotted by Redditor cirethesquire while checking out the shops in Tokyo. Admit it – we’ve all picked up a banana at some point and pretended it was a phone, but this is ridiculous.

Donkey Kong Cake is Totally Bananas
While I love both Donkey Kong and cake, I’m much more capable of finishing a cake than finishing the classic arcade game. I always used to get stuck around level three, and that was on a good day. On the other hand, eight slices of cake is nothing for me. This cake is just perfect then, as it’s the first time I actually stand a chance of finishing a round of Donkey Kong.
It was made a few months back by Rosanna Pansino for her collection of geeky edibles she calls “Nerdy Nummies” – and it certainly meets or exceeds that criteria. DK is just having a great day as he sits in a pile of banana candies, surrounded by a wall of Kit Kats. While it’s supposed to look like a giant barrel, I like to imagine it as a Kit Kat hot tub, loaded with banana bubbles.
Kong is made from fondant, while the bananas are simply banana Nerds candies. Of course, the cake itself has bananas in it and chocolate frosting. Yum. You can check out a video of the cake being created below:

Banana-Shaped Radiation-Proof Handset for Conducting All Your Monkey Business
I’ve rarely had to use a handset with my smartphone, maybe that’s because I don’t talk much on it, and most earphones tend to have built-in microphones, so they are perfectly capable of acting like handsets. However, if you talk a lot on your phone, and like the feeling of an old-school handset, check out this funny-looking one, shaped like a banana.
The Banana Radiation-Proof Handset does exactly what its name says, protect your brain from harmful cellphone radiations – all while looking like a monkey’s favorite fruit. It connects via a 3.5 mm audio jack to a bunch of different phones, including iPhones, Motorola and Blackberry phones. Yes, this banana goes well with Apples and Blackberries.
It’s available in 8 different colors over on Amazon and costs $21.99(USD). It’s definitely something fun to give in a gift exchange or as a prank – or to your pet monkey who knows how to use a phone.
