OK, OK, I didn’t want to do this……………..but for the sake of this site, I will yet once again channel Dan Shaunessey and compare a few items:
Better Global Impact
Banana Republics or Strawberry Moon
One was a case of capitalism negatively impacting a whole region for close to 100 years the other references the full moon each June.
1 – 0 Strawberry
Better Dessert
Banana Split or Strawberry Cheesecake
Oh man this is a tough one. The classic hot fudge sundae extraordinaire or a slice of cheesecake drizzled in fresh strawberries and sauce – I happen to like my sundaes simple so I am going with the Strawberry cheesecake --- barely.
2 – 0 Strawberry
Better Kids Show
The Banana Splits or Strawberry Shortcake
The 70’s classic with Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper, and Snorky or well…..nevermind, Banana Splits in a runaway.
2-1 Strawberry
Better Drink
Banana Daiquiri or Strawberry Daiquiri
Please………..
3-1 Strawberry
Better Song
Day-O or Strawberry Fields
Another tough one! Harry Belafonte’s Day-O, otherwise known as the Banana Boat song or the Beatles Strawberry Fields. Strawberry Fields wins by a whisker based on the fact that there’s confusion over the actual title of Harry’s incredible song.
4-1 Strawberry
Convenience
The peel & eat Banana or a bushel of Strawberries
Banana wins here. Simply peel and eat.
4-2 Strawberry
Sports Association
Banana Boat Sun Screen or Darryl Strawberry
Hmm, sun block or Dar-ryl, Dar-ryl, Dar-ryl? Good sun block, but the Dar-ryl, Dar-ryl chant is legendary and started here in Boston in 1986.
5-2 Strawberry
“Intimate” Desires
Banana Hammocks or Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Borat or fresh fruit dipped in chocolate – another win for the little red fruit.
6-2 Strawberry
Cereal
Sliced Bananas on Cheerios or Frankenberries
Going healthy on this one, Sorry Frankeberry, Count Chocula is on line 1.
6-3 Strawberry
Pop Culture
Slipping on a banana / Elvis’s peanut butter & banana sandwiches or that cartoon again
Banana is a huge winner when it comes to pop culture.
Winner
The Strawberry 6-4
