I’m not sure which kitsch factor I enjoy most about this made in Japan Portable Banana Keeper,  the fact that it’s pierced with hearts because it loves bananas so much,…<\/p>\n\"banana-case-CU_4051\"\n

…or that you can wear it as a necklace,…<\/p>\n\"banana-case_4075\"\n

…or that the little latches that keep your banana secure are so hard to pop open it will only last for two or three reloadings,…<\/p>\n\"banana-case_4062\"\n

…or that my cat loves it…<\/p>\n\"banana-case_4093\"\n

…or that there’s a special one for green bananas…,<\/p>\n\"banana-case_4053\"\n

…so special, in fact, that it’s called a Banana Case…<\/p>\n\"banana-case_4056\"\n

…as opposed to its yellow big brother,…<\/p>\n\"banana-case_4052\"\n

…The Banana Keeper,…<\/p>\n\"banana-case2_4054\"\n

…and is scientifically designed with tiny holes instead of large hearts…<\/p>\n\"banana-case_4059\"\n

…to ripen your fruit quicker despite the fact that few people I know would walk around with their banana around their neck for days while they waited for it to ripen.<\/p>\n

Or maybe it’s simply the fact that all bananas aren’t created equal and some don’t fit into their new home.<\/p>\n\"banana-case_4057\"\n

Whatever the case may be, I love plastic convenience products from Japan. And I don’t really care if the Banana Keeper\/ Banana Case works or lasts at all as long as it continues to make my cat happy.<\/p>\n\"banana-case_4097\"\n
