I don't think there's a non-cheesy way to describe what's going on here.

Cap-Cap-Capitalism!

. . . okay, that doesn't really flow as a cheer, but hip-hip for this creation of our fucked-up society: The banana bunker, a plastic sheath for the fruit which can accommodate all shapes, and protects your snack from the ugly/yummy/babymunchable bruises it would otherwise receive. Are we serious? Every once in a while, when I am wasting time online, looking at stuff I'd like to buy, I want to puke about the idea of spending money on something like this. There are, actually, tons of times when I have to laugh at myself for my consumerism, but really, honestly, I mean, from a here-and-now-in-this-society-where-we-grew-up-not-feigning-interest-in-changing-the-world point of view, there are healthy purchases, like How-To books, or New Albums, or Seatbelt Bags, (sure, healthy :) ), but you've gotta draw the line somewhere, right?
