The International Banana Club: Part II Last week we interviewed legendary "Top Banana" Ken Bannister on how a roll of Chiquita stickers started what's become a lifetime passion, not to mention an International Banana Club bosting global membership and wholesome, healthy fun. By passing out Chiquita stickers at trade shows, Ken Bannister earned a reputation for loving bananas, and other banana fans responded by sending him banana-related items in exchange for "Banana Merits," the official score-keeping system of the International Banana Club.

Glowing Bananas?!? We've all seen glow-in-the-dark stickers, Halloween skulls, and light up glow sticks that ravers carried around in the 90's, but few of us have seen a glowing banana. It's hard to believe, but glowing bananas actually exist! When the chlorophyll in banana peels ages, it doesn't visibly change color to the naked eye - but if it's looked at under ultraviolet light, it glows blue. Now not everyone has an ultraviolet light lying around the house to observe banana peels under, but this research* was just too cool not to share. Type: Post
