I long ago gave up traveling with bananas, even though they're one of my favorite fruits, because they never survived the journey all that well. Apparently I'm not the only one, because someone else with a much more entrepreneurial spirit decided to invent the Banana Bunker. This nifty device, which I just discovered over at Gadling, is basically a plastic tube with an accordion center that will fit over any banana. Your snack won't end up bruised, and the books next to it won't be sweet and slimy. The Banana Bunker costs $4.99 and comes in four colors. No word on how the TSA will react when it finds one in your carry-on
