Odd new product -- creme-filled bananas

Posted by Mark Frauenfelder, December 12, 2007 1:18 PM | permalink

I think the DestapaBanana is a device that sucks the insides out of a banana while it is still in its peel, so that you can fill resulting cavity with the filling of your choice.

The creator of DestapaBanana comments: “The message is clear, DestapaBanana values and increases the current sales volumes, highlights bananas as a new type of desert and open the doors to more businesses and consumers.”

hm. Videos featuring erotically suggestive banana consumption could take an interesting turn.

if you really wanna blow someone's mind, fill it with a banana flavoured filling.

I vastly prefer this to the old, sandy and hot type of desert.

Is the "milk jelly" dulce de leche? I have zero Spanish and the subtitles only called it milk jelly...
If it is dulce de leche, I'm in! Or chocolate sauce...or marshmallow, then peeled and dipped in chocolate.

I'm a true believer. It's like the awesome cousin of the inside the egg scrambler.

Twinkies used to contain banana filling. Now you could fill a banana with icky yellow cake and make an inside-out version.

I think I just violated my parole by watching that...

The same video on youtube, since the site exceeded its bandwidth.

ADMMETAL - I thought of the cheese-filled hotdogs - but yes, I too need one of these! (not that I condone cheese-filled hotdogs - they're an abomination)

I hate to do this, but I must link, this video is all I could think of when I read this: I Ain't Gonna Spread for no Roses.

(It's an image about halfway through the clip. You'll know what I mean immediately.)

So wait, let me get this straight. This device allows you to fill the worst part of the banana with something other than its original tasty edible filling? Huh? This appeals to who? People who hate bananas but don't own tupperware? Can someone please invent the exact opposite of this?

Am I the only one who thinks this thing looks suspiciously similar to a penis pump?

It doesn't look you can actually order this. http://www.destapabanana.com is broken.
