The banana used to be the food that most looked like a phone.
Now it’s the pop tart.
Once upon a time, you could pick up a banana, press it to your ear, and everyone knew: you were pretending to make a call. It was innocent. It was potassium-rich. It was the golden age of fruit-based communication.
But times change. Now, the humble Pop Tart — flat, rectangular, often slightly toasted — has taken the banana’s crown. Children mime texting on a strawberry frosted rectangle, and the fruit bowl looks on in quiet disgrace.
Progress? Perhaps. But remember this: no one ever butt-dialled anyone with a banana.
