Sigh.... It's lonely trying to act mature and cooth with so many hoodlums and stooges in my midst....

So, Greg, are chips a good thing or a bad thing? Can this hurt the value of your banana?

Seriously...if you drop it on a hard surface, don't worry...It's a Chiquita...There are many highly-recommended experts that will open it up and give you an estimate...I recommend Bob Ridley - give him a call and explain what happened...

As in 'after-skin' or 'fore-skin'? Not sure, Jim, not sure.

From which serial number do you bar mitzvah a banana , Greg ? I guess it would have to be a kosher banana too ?

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.
Well thats it a nut shell and reminds me of the many thousands of past Rolex hologram sticker etc related posts we mods had to read on TRF.Just wonder what the serial letter was on your Chiquita Banana.And was it past its sell by date,as we all know if you don't get the latest letter on your Chiquita Banana it might explode.

What is amazing with these bananas is that they can hold up to all the extremes. Below are bananas put in extreme heat and deep fried. Also bananas that were put in the freezer!

Problem is I think the old banana looks better than a plantain. What is the plantain hype all about?
