Banana women from Switzerland

Did you know that the banana women are called the pathfinders for “fair trading” in Switzerland? Within the organization of clergyman’s wife Ursula Brunner they collected their powers to make a fair charge on bananas for their producers, and therefore introduced the campaign “Nica instead of Chiquita“. See there: Swiss women know how it’s done!

Dju Dju – Banana and beer

As incedible as it sounds. It’s the horrible truth. Banana beer! I really don’t know what happens after enjoying that drink. Personally, I’ll continue eating my bananas at our fruit- and vegetable store, and drink my beer in the nearest pub. Without the great magic, but done right. But, while we’re at it, it does sound kind of nice getting high off bananas. Drunk on fruits, that’s my new excuse.

You can find more info on that here

Horny banana

Whoever ´s coming up with slippery thoughts by looking at this banana, is slippery by itself. This little yellow fellow has just a real good sense of humor and takes care of a well balanced nutrition.

Jungle Juice

Take: One Fancy Glass. Before you fill it up with delicious stuff, we have to put some ice cubes in a shaker, as well as 4 cl green banana, 2 cl of apricot Brandy, 2 cl of Gin, 1 cl of lemon juice and 0,1 liter of orange juice. Else we won’t have anything to fill up. Shaking, no stirring, please. Fill up the glass at once, and decorate with a slice of banana and a cocktail cherry. This drink is really the bomb, just try it! Zum Wohl!

Killing the stress with banana

Stress is always bad and often you can prevent it with easy methods. How about – ya guessed right – a banana! The banana contains Katecholamin, which helps staying chilled and resistant to excitement. Banana, what an anti-stress food! I’m tempted to make this a huge experiment and force-feed the attendees. To make a point, for sure.

Bananas and the DDR

If you’re asking yourself why the Ossis aren’t former apes, that’s easy explained. They couldn’t have possibly survived 50 years without bananas

Banana steam boat

Did you know that banana steam boats are called banana steam boats in English (like HOW am I supposed to translate THAT from German into English. But for all that matters, it’s called “Bananendampfer” in German). Okay, that wasn’t funny at all. I know that. But who knows, maybe you’re only capable of speaking ratoromanic, whatever the hell that is, or Suaheli. In that case, you won’t understand any of this either. Nevermind. Banana Joe!
