Banana Guard Tested
Here, at long last, is the full Banana Guard test results. For those catching up, I assessed the effectiveness of this banana protection device as part of my previous column, Gastronomic Gifts.
The Spoonstress (my wife) and I devised a research plan. We tested the Banana Guard by subjecting the "protected" banana and an unguarded banana to the same traumas. We then compared them both to the unharmed "control" banana.
Below is a brief video on part of the experiment. You can also watch it at YouTube. Note: Some bananas were hurt in the filming of this experiment. Rest assured, they turned into a nice banana bread.
You can also view the full, first part of the experiment at YouTube. Notice, the fruit pops out of the Banana Guard. We took off points for that.
The full aftermath, i.e. results, can be seen in this video. The Banana Guard banana was fairly mushy, but remained intact. The unguarded banana was clearly in worse shape. It split open during testing and was completely gelatinous.
This photo at left illustrates the three bananas after testing. From left to right, they are: control, Banana Guard and unguarded.
Of course, then there was the matter of the control banana. It remained pristine until the conclusion of the study, when it experienced another kind of damage:

Dr. Fork - It is nice to see scientific rigor applied so dutifully to the field of banana protection research. Thank you for your service to the community. I still think the Banana Guard needs a handy shoulder strap -- are you in the business of product development as well?
Thank you for your readership, Banana Lover. On product development: Don't tell anyone, but we're now in talks with Motorola to develop the Banana Guard phone. They think it could supplant the Razr by next Christmas--kind of a 'bulky is the new slim' thing.
But right after that, I'll have my people look into the shoulder strap.

Love it! Let the tests continue. I suggest: a taller building; a toss from a (slightly) moving car; being run over by a unicycle; the smoosh of a few heavy books (as if the banana were in the bottom of a book bag); the mighty squeeze of a 2 year-old (I have just the research assistant for you ...).
Barn,
Sounds great. I'll supply the Banana Guard, you bring the 2-year-old and the unicycle.
And perhaps an enhanced Banana Drop can be part of our Christmas fun. Or instead of the now traditional Christmas pinata, we could whack a Banana Guard. Not sure the battered banana contents would be as exciting as candy and toys, though.
