August 27th Is Banana Lovers Day! Today we celebrate one of the most popular fruits in the world. Did you know that
? That works out to about 100 individual bananas per person! Bananas are high in fiber and potassium. These properties can help prevent calcium loss, ulcers, high blood pressure, and certain kinds of cancer.
Funniest use of a banana took place in the movie Beverly Hills Cop, when Eddie Murphy stuck a few in the cop’s tailpipe.
