It's not the exact way I recall it, but the admonition to " Never put bananas...in the refrigerator. " is there. They missed " No, no, no, no! " at the end. Enjoy!

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Peggy, My wife and I listened to this, and we both said that's not the jingle we heard in Ca. Isn't that strange? ew Re: I am now correctly ripening my bananas To me, those bananas are READY TO EAT. I won't eat them once they smell ripe or start to get spots.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I LOVED THIS. I remembered this commercial. Did not remember the NO REFRIGERATOR part. How cool. I knew the jingle " I'm Chiquita Banana and I'm here to stay " . but that was all I remembered.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 The difference between east coast and west coast culture probably makes the mind-controllers see a need to use different commercials respectively many times. I lived in California at that time as a child and I seem to remember something like a fast La Cucuracha melody being sung with Chiquita Banana lyrics, and maybe crazy dancing intead of the east coast version's sultry walking. This may have been to play on California's proximity to and tourism in Mexico to get us accept a foreign food by that association. But I was not good at distinguishing between melodies back then never mind knowing the names of melodies. Isn't that from over 40 years ago? Then I might have been a vaccine-damaged nine-year old boy getting free bananas from a longshoreman friend of the family (damaged crate give-aways?). As a side note: I once heard that the mind-controllers also segregate much of the national news between the coasts, spevifically in order to keep us politically dumbed down partly by preventing us from comparing notes.
