NATIONAL BANANA DAY

On the third Wednesday in April, take a bite of the fruit that also makes an excellent prop for jokes on National Banana Day!

#NationalBananaDay

The day focuses on the nutrition of the fruit as well as the way comedy has used the banana in its acts. This low-fat, low-calorie snack offers a boost of fiber, potassium, and vitamins, with B6 and C leading the way. It also provides a healthy gram of protein, too. Add a banana to your morning cereal or grab one to go with your granola. They also add so much delicious flavor to baked goods. Many bakers know that when those bananas turn brown to toss them in the freezer for baking muffins and breads later.

As far as the humor goes, anyone goes a little bananas when they slip on a peel. Or is it the peel of laughter that makes them go bananas? Hold up the banana like a phone and get your comedy routine going.

HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL BANANA DAY

Write a little message on a banana and tuck it into your loved one’s lunch.

Add bananas to your lunch routine. They’re inexpensive and delicious. Children and adults love them, so you just can’t go wrong.

Use #NationalBananaDay to share how you #CelebrateEveryDay on social media.

NATIONAL BANANA DAY HISTORY

The word is still out about who created this national holiday. However, we’ve sent out several bananas to track them down.

Every day is Banana day in a banana republic. The Biden regime should be giving them away free just to keep reminding us. Or a free banana with each clot shot. Or vote dem and get a free banana.

That should be our national fruit, since we’ve become a Banana Republic.

We’re off bananas due to low-carbing it. I thought I would miss them more, but I don’t!

I “celebrated” by being blissfully unaware the entire day until I read something after the fact.

It may also be Banana Republic Day for the USA.

Terrible thought.

FYI......

My wife recently learned that by wrapping the banana stems and preventing air exposure, the bananas do not over ripen.

Believe it or don’t
