A constructive discourse on banana protection hardware

Sure, you've seen banana protectors before on VFE (haven't you?). But now I think it's quite important that you read the sales pitch this dedicated Trademe dealer has concocted to back up their culturally significant banana-protection-related sale. 7800 hits and counting...

An example of some of the comments:

"I have one of these but instead of gloating, I would like to pass on a hint or two for those with young families. Why not use it to create banana shaped watermelon pieces for the kids. Or a 'banana tie' for Dad. Last christmas we got a whole lot of bananas and made banana shaped bananas"

And of course, the inevitable question:

'Is there an option for a lockable version? Fruit theft is ripe at my worksite...'
