Secret message bananas

Write on bananas with toothpicks, and, as the day goes on, the message slowly appears. What an adorable idea for kids (and lunch boxes).

  1. It's like a secret code!

    Ahh - I'm totally doing that with my roommate's bananas (fingers crossed she'd see the joke, and not see it as vandalism!)

  42. My group in college used to send each other bananas with secret messages on them - our mailboxes were just long enough to hold normal bananas, and the mailroom staff were kind enough to deliver them for us. I loved getting one - especially the ones that had intricate artwork on them instead of messages. I knew that a friend had been bored in class with a banana and a toothpick, and thought of me...heartwarming!

  50. I have an old school black board in the kitchen where I leave messages to my husband and he also writes me stuff (adorable stuff). It's also useful for shopping lists! But these bananas are just adorable!!!

    ReplyDelete
  51. Ha!! This is great, though the bananas in Cambodia are so teeny-tiny, I could probably only fit two or three words in.
