A banana sits on the top of the radio on my desk. It’s not only today’s lunch, but an opportunity to consider great packaging. It’s easy to open. Easy to transport. Features integrated, color-coded freshness indicator. The whole thing’s bio-degradable. Oh and it actually under-promises and over-delivers. Because inside this ingenious package you’ll find excellent nutrition that’s sweet and filling, yet low calorie, fat free, no cholesterol, no sodium and a good source of dietary fiber, potassium, and vitamins B6 and C. Whew! (Just too healthy to be any fun? Then enjoy it fried with ice cream, or in a shake or cream pie.) Take a banana quiz...
