National Banana Lovers’ Day
It’s August 27th, and boy oh boy, are we going ape for National Banana Lovers’ Day!
Love a Banana
There is a day for everything...
Apparently so! It seems that there is a day dedicated to everything nowadays. We would be remiss if Danna Bananas didn’t pay tribute to this fruit today.
If you’re bananas about bananas, today is your day too! Get ready to peel back the layers of fun and enjoy this sweet, yellow delight.
Today we celebrate the only fruit that doubles as a comedy prop and a phone. Remember, a banana a day keeps the doctor away... mostly because they slip on the peel before reaching your house.
Ever tried flame-grilled bananas? It's like regular grilled bananas, but with 100% more chance of setting off your smoke alarm. Safety tip: Don't try to put out a banana fire with more bananas—it just makes the fire more potassium-powered.
For all you pyro-peelers out there, remember: a flambéed banana a day keeps the fire department on speed dial. And let's not forget banana-flavoured marshmallows for your s'mores, because nothing says 'I love bananas' like artificially flavoured puffed sugar cubes.
So go ahead, light up your love for bananas today! Just remember, if things get too hot, you can always split... banana split, that is.

Besides its deliciousness, another reason the word 'banana' is important to me is that it has helped people pronounce my name, Danna, correctly since I was a wee one. When someone would ask, “What’s your name?” and respond with “Dana?” I’d clarify by saying Danna, so they could hear the rhyme and get the pronunciation right. When it came time to launch my business, I chose the name 'Que Danna Bananas' (with an 's') because I needed a name that was fun, quirky, and screamed 'funny gifts.'
Fun fact: Bananas are actually berries, but strawberries aren’t. Who's the impostor now, strawberry?
To all you banana bread bakers out there, especially during those slower times of COVID (though for me, time didn’t slow down—it actually sped up), we appreciate you for giving overripe bananas a second chance at life. You’re basically fruit necromancers. I tried making bread—sourdough, not banana—during that period. It turned out to be a cooking task that took longer than expected, like a week. Kidding, kidding! Or am I? Lesson learned: just buy bread from the real bakers out there, as you are the best! To all you bread connoisseurs, the true masters of the loaf.
And let’s not forget the unsung hero of the banana world: that stringy bit you peel off and discard. What is it? Why is it there? Some say it’s nature’s dental floss, but we know better—it’s just there to annoy us.
So go ahead, indulge in the playful spirit of the day and enjoy all things banana. Just remember, if you eat too many, you might start appeeling to everyone around you.
Here’s to a day full of delicious bananas, and maybe even a few banana peels—just watch your step! 🍌😂
PS. I've already eaten two today. How about you?
