When I bring a lunch to work, anything not packed into some Tupperware has it pretty rough, what with my laptop, camcorder, and personal jetpack all competing for room in my keyboard handbag. Anything as soft as a banana probably has a less-than-even chance of surviving the commute. Then where would I get my potassium?

Luckily I don't have to stress about my minerals when I slip my oblong fruit into a BananaBunker. Resembling a — uh, actually, the BananaBunker doesn't look like much of anything — it's made of a hard… uh, stiff… um, inflexible plastic that will protect your banana from any bruising as it gets jostled around in your backpack. The transparent shield comes in multiple colors: clear, blue, green, and orange. If you get a blue one, a yellow banana will look green — an easy way to fool yourself that you're eating healthier. — Peter Pachal
