    The labels on Chiquita bananas in the US now carry a fruit "label" that no longer says "Chiquita". The label is an ad for AskJeeves.com!

    Every banana has a different banana question. One question was, "How do you know a banana is ripe?" Presumably you need to visit the portal to find out.

    We now have advertising on bananas. The brainchild for this is the president of the fruit label company "Irv Weinhaus". Irv wouldn't come clean on the costs of advertising, but said that more label advertising was to come, whether people liked it or not. He draws the line at a condom company that wanted to advertise on bananas (he was not kidding.) Also he turned away a national bra company that wanted to advertise on melons.
