Aw I've had this song in my head all day so I had to look it up. This video sparked a great conversation with my kid about how this was an educational commercial to teach people how to eat and store bananas because bananas were a new thing to our part of the world.

Actually, according to the book "Banana" by Dan Koeppel, this commercial contains some MISinformation, to help increase sales. Bananas actually last longer when refrigerated.

This is how rap was before RUN-DMC. Its nice to see how things always turn full circle, you know, with rappers singing Friday with Rebecca Black and all. Also, is interesting to notice the eagerness of the banana boys for being peeled, chopped, sliced, squashed, grinded, fried, etc. and put into any banana based disert imaginable.

Absolutely inspired by Carmen Miranda.

Oh boy, this song brings back memories as this was one of the songs sung one year in high school chorus (I didn't personally as it was for the sopranos and I was a bass by then). Doing chorus in the 90's definitely had some pretty "interesting" song choices. Especially by today's standards lol.

I recall this radio commercial before we had TV (Late 40's or early 50's). What stays in my mind is the phrase, "Never put bananas in the refrigerator." But I learned recently, that to retard ripening too soon, one should put them in the frig. This works. I had a bunch of 5 bananas in the frig, but forgot about them. After 2 weeks, the skin turned brown, but they were still firm, just like being perfectly ripe..

If you go to the grocery store and see bananas that have a greyish color, that means they've been exposed to really low (like freezing or close to it) temperatures. They'll never ripen beyond that point. You're better off not buying them.

Great cartoon, lots of fun. But look up the United Fruit Company's history of manipulation and domination of Guatemala and other Latin American countries. It's not pretty. Or read Vargas Llosa's historical novel Harsh Times, which deals with the events of 1953 or so - the CIA-supported overthrow of a democratically-elected President of Guatemala (Arbenz, who promoted land reform for the sake of the indigenous, dirt-poor peasants, and who had the impudence to ask that United Fruit pay taxes), with the aid of the Dominican dictator Trujillo - I've just gotten started with the perfidy of what we Yankees and our local flunkies did...all part of a long US tradition of hypocrisy where democracy in Latin America was concerned. The Dulles brothers, Allen and John Foster, were on the board of directors of the United Fruit Company - you heard me right - a conflict of interest that surpasses even that of Justice Clarence Thomas nowadays. All so that United Fruit could sell bananas to us gringos.

The thing about not putting them in the refrigerator was a way to sell more bananas? They were new and folks didn't know...Notice in the grocery store they are stored cold before they are put out for sale, because they are cold just before they are out displayed in the store. So, do indeed store in the 'frig when brought home from the store. If not, they will ripen quickly and then that's where 'banana bread' comes from.
