Look what I found! A Bananasaver :) It prevents that ugly bruising bananas get from too much bumping about inside bags, especially when they get squished underneath books and drink bottles. Definitely handy, but it's a bit of a hassle to carry an empty case around after you've eaten the banana inside. You can purchase one at Bananasaver.com, which ships to countries worldwide; but I've also seen these nifty gadgets selling at Howard's Storage World in Australia.
