The Banana Phone Connects to Smartphones via Bluetooth
Fruits: not only are they delicious, packed full of vitamins and fiber, and the subjects of countless art class painting, but they can make calls too -- at least they can now thanks to the Banana Phone. The gag gift is a fully functional Bluetooth accessory that connects to users' smartphones and allows them to place calls to gorillas and people alike.
With the Banana Phone, very funny people will not only be able to call up their closest gorilla friends, but they'll be able to do some good for them too. More than just a gag gift, one percent of all sales from the Banana Phone will be donated to the UK-based organization Gearing Up for Gorillas, a non-profit activism group dedicated to the conservation of the rare mountain gorillas in Virunga National Park.
