Remember Keanu Reeves in The Matrix—the long leather coat, the dark glasses, the banana phone! No? Well, maybe your toes start tapping as soon as you hear Bananaphone, your very first most favorite song? No? Surely, you have, at some point in your life, used a banana as a pretend phone to make people laugh? No? Then you will have to trust me: the banana phone has a history of being too cool for school. And now you can have one of your very own. Elegant, sleek, slim—we can guarantee that the Banana Phone is the world’s most a-peeling fruit phone.
Brian Brunsing, Charlie Katrycz and Max Brown have been friends, like, forever. Or at least since the time they were campers and guides at Camp Pathfinder, a wilderness canoe tripping camp in Ontario. And then they started their “Fruit Tech revolution” with the Banana Phone, a yellow, banana-shaped, Bluetooth-enabled mobile handset and speaker that connects to your smartphone. With merely a touch of a button or via voice commands, you can use Siri or Google Assistant to talk with your friends.

Banana Phone Vision
Brian, Charlie and Max simply want people to “Talk More, Smile More, Save the Gorillas.”
Talk more, have real conversations, apart from the frenzied world of texts, emails and push notifications.
Smile more, and who would not smile when using a Banana Phone? We all could use some lightening up.
Save the gorillas. The Banana Phone company is a certified and active member of “1% for the Planet.” For every phone sold (and as of now, there have been 4,000+ sold in 21 countries), 1% of the profits go to “Gearing Up for Gorillas,” an organization that works for the conservation of gorillas in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
