Banana guard?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I love 'em. I prefer my bananas warm but not mushy. This allows me to carry bananas in a warm spot--the front of my bibs--without getting squished. Seem to get some odd looks, though.

Shouldn't one end be open if it's really going to protect your banana? The thing's gotta breathe, after all.

You'd probably get fired for harassment if you gift wrapped it and gave it to a co-worker as a holiday gift. "What's the problem, Boss? I didn't even mention the word 'Christmas' ?"
