Went to a grocery store today, and there it was, right on the display - a bright, radiant Chiquita Banana. I picked it up, didn't negotiate, paid full retail. No regrets. But a few questions:

Should I leave the sticker on? That Chiquita chick is kinda hot...

Will it go up in value? Related - if I take the sticker off, will it depreciate?

Is it normal to enjoy it with the peel still on? Or is it weird?

Can I take a shower with it? Is it anti-magnetic?

Finally, when I want to upgrade to a plantain, where is the best place to sell my banana?

I thanks you all in advance for your kind help.

Twice?! That's a drastic increase. Ok, so I'm keeping it unpeeled, it's settled.

Yeah, the patina was uneven... It would never see light of day.

You and your fantasies.... You may need to see a therapist, I'm sure it isn't anything serious.

You know, Chiquita is a true tool banana as opposed to overproduced fashion bananas like Del Monte. Also, I just don't like the tint of the green color on some of the "newer" bananas.

Unfortunately it appears that green is a trend that's here to stay. BV, or Bananes Vertes, seems to fetch a premium, so what can you do....
