    Well, I am reporting back.

    My banana guard (bought from city super for 40 dollars - eek!) is..... meh.

    I have to coax my bananas into the banana guard. None seem to fit. Two things would help me:

    - a better curve on the guard; or
    - a more malleable banana

    Mine is from Canada, it is much better than the ones I've seen from HKG.

    A "Banana Bunker" works better than the rigid plastic banana guards... most fit in these.

    Interesting read on bananas, specifically how they are ripened before they reach the retailer.
