Sjokolade BANANER: Minde Sjokolade Kvalitet siden 1898. BANANER er overtrukket banan-skum. Minde har laget kvalitets-sjokolade i nesten 100 år. Våre oppskrifter er blitt prisbelønnet ved flere anledninger. (Norwegian company. "Banner" is supposed to be banana... Thanx, Shin!) Banana Choco: It's really cute! I love it! This is a kind of marble chocolate, banana-shaped and coated yellow. It contains banana spices. I wanna recommend it to all banana lovers over the world... but sorry, maybe available in Japan only. Product of Meiji Seika Co., Ltd. (Thanx, NAO) |
Cake | Tokyo Banana: A Cake containing a piece of real banana in it. It tastes nice, you can find it at the Haneda Airport. I often buy Tokyo Banana on my business trips to Tokyo. FAQ: I am living out of Japan. How can I get it? - Unfortunately they don't ship internationally. You have to buy it in Japan & bring it back. FYI, official website of Tokyo Banana is here (in Japanese). | |
Bread | Crepe Banana: Look like a bunch of bananas. I got only image, I wanna try it someday! Product of Yamazaki Bakery. (Thanx, katsu) Banana Series: Banana Special (120 yen, left in the image) and Banana Donuts (200 yen, right) also by Yamazaki Bakery. Same "Banana Series" labels are put on them. Does anyone know how many kinds of bread in the "Banana Series"? | |
PLAY | Harmonica | Banana Harmonica: Suvenior from my friend Taro who took a trip to Hawaii in '94. Unfortunately, it's broken and doesn't work as an instrument any more. Black letters saying "I went bananas in Hawaii" on it, although it's made in Hong Kong! |
Maracas | Banana Maracas: Another banana-shaped instrument. I was dancing with a pair of it in my hands. (Thanx, Payarin) | |
BATH | Soap | Banana Soap: Banana-shaped and smells sweet. Lovely! Product of The Body Shop, England. (Thanx, Taro) |
Shampoo | Banana Shampoo: It contains real banana pulp and smells very sweet! Product of The Body Shop, England. (Thanx, Taro) | |
WEAR | Aloha | Birthday present from my sister. I often wear it as a stage costume. 15 years ago or so, when I was on my way home wearing the shirts at night, I was questioned by a policeman... I don't know why. |
Desktop | Paper Weight | Birthday present from Taro. Made of Stone. I remember I found a thing like this at the sundries shop, maybe made in Africa, it was too expensive for me to buy. |
Wall | Magnet | I've got it for $7.99 at a magnet shop "MAGNETZ" in Las Vegas. Made in Mexico. Made of rubber (I think). It's small, but the surface and the shape resemble a real one. |
READ | Book Shop | Banana BookShop: My friend EP-san send me the picture from his trip in England. Thanx! |
LISTEN | EP logo | Rutle Corps: The label established by The Rutles, in their story called "All You Need Is Cash". Of course, this is a parody of The Beatles' Apple logo! |
RIDE | Motor- Scooter | LET'S LOFT: No, it's not actually designed for a banana. But, I think, colored yellow & black, and soft-edged shape, --- it's very banana! (SUZUKI LET'S LOFT: 1,675x635x1,005mm, 68kg, 6.8ps/7,000rpm) |
