Well now you're just ruining everything. You obviously don't know a thing about fruit and you're just trying to make yourself feel important by voting pro-banana in order to spite those of us who do. Shame on you.

No. It actually was a dancing competition:

Its my money that i spend at the supermarket and if i want to go for bananas then thats up to me. I refuse to be told which fruit i should buy and by continuing to insult the poor banana it just makes me more and more determined that banana should come out on top.

BUY BANANA - it might not have the most vitamins or look the best, but it sure can put a smile on your face (just turn it sideways - its smiles). So for all those people who want something more than just all the right vitamins, choose the fruit that really means something

I blame the supermarkets. They know full well that banana's have no place amongst the fitter pears and oranges but they put them there anyway.

And as for the banana's - manipulating people into buying them by being all manipulative and bananary <pish>.

Crikey, they'll be turning one into a super hero next.

OK, technically banana is a fruit but I don't like it.
It doesn't seem to be trying hard enough to be a PROPER fruit like all the juicy melons and grapes. What's the point of being in the fruit section if you're not sweet and juicy?

And to exclude REAL fruits like tomatoes for the sake of bananas is wrong. Maybe lots of people do actually like bananas but I don't and I have every right to campaign against them.

Strictly speaking a banana is a fruit but does it really deserve to be? It isn't even the right colour.

If only we could go back to the good old days... bananas didn't get a look in during those balmy times of rationing in wartime Britain...

People knew their fruit and you didn't get meddling ignoramuses going around buying bananas willy nilly with no thought to the consequences of their actions to the fruit industry as a whole.

Obviously there were a few drawbacks to the general situation - and to be honest, the governing powers of the time did everything they could to stop things (putting an end to the war and everything...), but at least we didn't have to put up with irresponsible banana-buyers ruining things for us purists.

BOO to bananas, I say - and boo to everyone buying them!!!!!!!

I hope you banana supporters are buying organic. Do you realise how many lives are destroyed on banana plantations and the abuse of workers that goes on?

If it goes on like this, non-organic bananas will cause the fabric of the world as we know it to crumble.

And then where would we be? Watching paso dobles to speeded up music on YouTube, the last website standing, that's where.

And how do you like THEM apples?!

I think this is what will happen if John is still there in a couple of weeks. By that stage it would be feasible for the best dancers to get the same total marks from the judges.

I wonder what the other fruits think of bananas?
I'm sure they'd prefer to have tomatoes on their aisle.
Bananas sometimes go bad and don't look good.

This isn't about the best fruit because you couldn't have rhubarb then.
It's about a principle.

But it seems that a lot of people probably DO want their bananas. I just don't get it.

And now they're manipulating the press, too???

The whole world's gone mad, I tell you!

Bananas have forced out proper native fruits like apples and pears.

Thanks to Cybes Vybes for the info.

Why do people keep supporting bananas when there is proper British fruit to eat? I despair. So bananas have this exotic-thing going for them? So what!

Open your eyes. You are victims of aggressive marketing. The Guardian says so! Can't you see you're being manipulated?
